Manifestation of intermolecular hydrogen bond in hetero-complexes of biologically active substances probed by the methods of vibrational spectroscopy

The investigation of the hetero-association of biologically active substances (flavin mononucleotide
(FMN), ethidium bromide (EB), proflavine (PRF), theophylline (TPH) and caffeine (CAF)) was carried in
neutral aqueous solutions by IR and Raman spectroscopy. The analysis of IR and Raman spectra showed
the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the functional groups (C=O and NH2) in FMNEB, FMN-PRF and TPH-EB heterocomplexes. The observed shift of vibration frequencies of carbonyl
groups in the IR spectra allowed us to estimate the values of the enthalpy of H-bonds. It is shown that
intermolecular hydrogen bonds additionally stabilize these structures.
