    Abstract:
    Cocrystals of 4,4'-bipyridyl and several carboxylic acids were grown from the methanol solution of the cocrystal formers. Complete (14)N NQR spectra of these cocrystals have been measured using (1)H-(14)N nuclear quadrupole double resonance. The principal values of the quadrupole coupling tensor are calculated from the (14)N NQR frequencies. A large variation in the (14)N quadrupole coupling constant between 1.3 MHz and 4.7 MHz is observed. A very low (14)N quadrupole coupling constant, characteristic for proton transfer O-H···N → O(-)···H-N(+), is observed in 4,4'-bipyridyl-oxalic acid (1 : 1). In 4,4'-bipyridyl-5-chlorosalycilic acid (1 : 1) the (14)N NQR data show the presence of a short, strong N···H···O hydrogen bond. A correlation of the principal values of the (14)N quadrupole coupling tensor is observed. The correlation is analyzed in the model, where the deformation of the lone pair electron orbital and the change of the population of the π-electron orbital produce the variation of the (14)N quadrupole coupling tensor in the hydrogen bonded 4,4'-bipyridyl. The temperature variation of the (14)N quadrupole coupling tensor in 4,4'-bipyridyl-5-chlorosalycilic acid (1 : 1) is analyzed. Proton displacement within the N···H···O hydrogen bond and the change of the population of the π-electron orbital at the two nitrogen positions in a 4,4'-bipyridyl molecule in the temperature interval between 157 K and 323 K are determined.
