00:01 | Warm greetings! Welcome to this tutorial on Hydrogen bonding in molecules. |
00:07 | In this tutorial, we will learn to: configure Avogadro, |
00:11 | show hydrogen bonding in molecules, |
00:14 | measure length of hydrogen bonds, |
00:16 | show Force display type and show dipole moments in molecules. |
00:22 | Here I am using: Ubuntu Linux OS version 14.04, |
00:27 | Avogadro version 1.1.1 and working internet connection. |
00:34 | To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with 'Avogadro' interface. |
00:40 | If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website. |
00:45 | Structures used in this tutorial are provided as code files for your reference. |
00:52 | I have opened a new Avogadro window. |
00:56 | Click on Draw Tool icon and click on the panel. |
01:01 | methane is drawn on the panel. |
01:04 | Now, we will learn to configure Avogadro. |
01:08 | Go to Settings menu and click on Configure Avogadro. |
01:13 | Settings dialog box appears. |
01:16 | Dialog box has a side menu with three menu items-
General Plugins Project tree. |
01:24 | By default, General menu is selected. |
01:28 | General menu has two sliders: Quality and Fog. |
01:34 | Quality of rendering increases as you drag the slider from Low to High. |
01:41 | Drag the Quality slider to Low and click on Apply button. |
01:47 | Notice that structure is not properly rendered. |
01:51 | Drag the Quality slider to High, and click on Apply button. |
01:56 | Notice that molecule appears bright with high quality rendering. |
02:02 | High quality rendering is set for printing and publishing images. |
02:07 | It uses more CPU power. |
02:11 | Drag the Quality slider to Medium and click on Apply. |
02:16 | Medium quality setting works fine for general viewing purpose. |
02:21 | Now to Fog slider. |
02:24 | Drag the Fog slider to Lots and click on Apply button. |
02:28 | Notice that structure is fogged. |
02:32 | Drag the Fog slider to Some and click on Apply. Structure appears clearly. |
02:40 | Next, to Plugins menu. |
02:43 | Display Types drop downs appear. |
02:46 | Notice that all the Display Types check boxes are enabled. |
02:51 | Click on Axes. Details about Axes Display Type are displayed in the Details text box. |
02:59 | Similarly, you can see the details of other Display Types. |
03:04 | I will un-check all the check boxes and click on Apply button. |
03:11 | Ball and Stick check box alone is seen in the Display Types menu. |
03:16 | Uncheck Ball and Stick Display Type checkbox. |
03:20 | If Ball and Stick is also disabled, molecule disappears from the Panel. |
03:26 | Click on Ball and Stick check box to enable the display. |
03:30 | To enable all the Display Types go to Plugins. |
03:33 | Click on all check boxes in Display Types drop down. |
03:39 | Click on Apply button. |
03:41 | All Display Types are displayed in the Display Types drop down. |
03:46 | Click on OK to close the Settings dialog box. |
03:50 | If any of the Display Types is not activated in the Display Types menu, click on Add button. |
03:58 | Add Display Type dialog box appears. |
04:02 | Click on Types drop down and choose the Display Type you need. |
04:07 | I will choose Hydrogen Bond and click OK. |
04:11 | "Hydrogen Bond" Display Type appears in the Display Types menu. |
04:16 | Now, I will demonstrate hydrogen bonding in polar methanol molecules. |
04:22 | We already have a methane' molecule on the Panel. |
04:26 | For demonstration, I need a group of methane molecules. |
04:31 | Easy method to draw methane molecules is, using Draw tool. |
04:36 | By default, Draw Settings menu has Element as Carbon and Bond Order as Single. |
04:43 | Click on the Panel. |
04:46 | Click on Element drop down. Select Oxygen. |
04:50 | Then click on any one of the Hydrogens of the methane molecules. |
04:56 | We now have a group of Methanol molecules on the Panel. |
05:00 | Click on Hydrogen Bond check box in the Display Types. |
05:04 | Let's optimize the molecules for proper orientation. |
05:08 | Click on Auto Optimization Tool on the tool bar. |
05:12 | Auto Optimization Settings menu appears on the left. |
05:17 | In the Force Field drop down, select MMFF94. |
05:22 | Click on Start button to optimize. |
05:26 | You can see hydrogen bond formation as yellow dashed lines. |
05:31 | These lines are formed between hydrogen of one molecule and oxygen of other molecule. |
05:38 | Click on Stop to stop the Auto optimization. |
05:42 | I will now demonstrate intramolecular hydrogen bonding in ortho-nitrophenol. |
05:48 | For this, I will fetch the molecule from Chemical structure database. |
05:54 | Close all the previously opened windows and open a new window. |
05:59 | Click on File menu, navigate to Import. Click on Fetch by Chemical name. |
06:06 | Chemical Name text box appears. |
06:09 | Type ortho-nitrophenol in lower case and click on OK button. |
06:15 | Ortho-nitrophenol molecule appears on the Panel. |
06:19 | To show hydrogen bonding, you need a group of Ortho-nitrophenol molecules on the Panel. |
06:26 | I have copied and pasted molecules on the Panel. |
06:30 | Select the molecule using selection tool. |
06:34 | Press CTRL + C to copy and CTRL + V to paste. |
06:39 | Click on Hydrogen Bond check box. |
06:42 | Optimize the molecules for proper orientation if required. |
06:46 | During optimization process, Intra molecular Hydrogen bond is formed within the molecules. |
06:54 | Hydrogen bond is formed between Oxygen of nitro group and Hydrogen of Hydroxy group in the molecule. |
07:02 | Now let's measure the length of hydrogen bond. |
07:06 | Click on Click to Measure icon on the tool bar. |
07:10 | Click on hydrogen atom and Oxygen atom . |
07:14 | Hydrogen bond length is displayed at the bottom of the Panel. |
07:19 | This slide shows the importance of hydrogen bonding. |
07:23 | Hydrogen bonds: determine unique solvent capabilities of water and stabilize crystal structure of ice, |
07:32 | hold complementary strands of DNA together, |
07:36 | determine and stabilize structures of proteins and nucleic acids, |
07:41 | involve in the mechanism of enzyme catalysis. |
07:46 | As an assignment, show Hydrogen bonding in,
1. Para-hydroxybenzoic acid. 2. Nucleobases- adenine and uracil. |
07:56 | Your assignments should look as follows. |
08:00 | Observe inter molecular hydrogen bonding in Para-hydroxybenzoic acid molecules
and adenine and uracil molecules. |
08:10 | We have an option in the Display Types to show force for the molecules. |
08:15 | I will open a new window with a few water molecules. |
08:19 | In the Display Types, click on Force check box. |
08:23 | Click on Hydrogen Bond check box. |
08:26 | Click on Auto Optimization Tool icon on the tool bar. |
08:30 | Select MMFF94 Force Field. Click on Start button. |
08:36 | During optimization process, Force display type shows forces acting on each atom with green arrows. |
08:45 | Arrows illustrate direction and amount of force. |
08:49 | When a molecule is close to its optimization, arrows become small and vanish. |
08:55 | Now, to dipole moment in a molecule. |
08:59 | Dipole moment is due to charge separation in polar molecules. |
09:04 | Dipole moment(μ) = charge(Q) times distance of separation(r) |
09:09 | Dipole moment is expressed in Debye units. |
09:13 | Now, I will show dipole moment in hydrogen cyanide(HCN) and water molecules. |
09:20 | Open a new window.
Using Draw tool, draw hydrogen cyanide(HCN) molecule on the Panel. |
09:27 | Select Hydrogen and draw a bond to carbon. |
09:31 | Select Nitrogen, Select Bond Order as triple and draw a bond as shown. |
09:38 | Optimize the structure using MMFF94 Force Field. |
09:44 | To show dipole moment, click on Dipole check box in Display Types. |
09:50 | Dipole is shown using a red colored arrow. |
09:54 | To view the estimated dipole moment, go to View menu. |
09:57 | Navigate to Properties and select Molecule Properties.
Molecule Properties window opens. |
10:05 | Window shows estimated dipole moment of hydrogen cyanide as 0.396D. |
10:13 | Similarly, the estimated dipole moment of water is 0.245D. |
10:21 | Let's summarize. |
