H-1, C-13, N-14, N-15, O-17, and F-19 NMR data are presented for HTFMQ and
its complexes with DMAN in 2 : 1 and 1 : 1 molar ratios. GIAO-CHF molecular
orbital calculations for the [1H] and [4H] forms of the free molecule and
its anion are also performed. The results show that the [4H] form of HTFMQ
predominates in acetonitrile solutions. In both complexes with DMAN, HTFMQ
forms a semi-anion containing an intermolecular hydrogen bond.
