Three hydrogen-bonded minima on the phenol-water, C6H50H-H20, potential energy surface were located with 3-21G and 6-31G\*\* basis sets at both Hartree-Fock and MP2 levels of theory. MP2 binding energies were computed using large "correlation consistent" basis sets that included extra diffuse functi

✦ Synopsis
Two newly synthesized alkylated cyanomalonaldehyde derivatives possess very short intramolecular hydrogen bonds, which are studied by deuterium NMR. Both the dimethyl and di-tert-butyl derivatives have small deuterium quadrupole coupling constants and large asymmetry parameters. In addition, the di-tert-butyl compound, which has one of the shortest O D...O hydrogen bonds yet measured, has a quadrupole coupling which anomalously increases with temperature. The significance of these phenomena is explored using a theoretical model which employs vibrationally averaged ab initio electric field gradient tensors calculated with large basis sets and electron correlation via the multiconfigurational self-consistent field method.
