According to the data from IR spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations (B3LYP/6-31G**, B3LYP/6-311G*), in the vapor and in dichloroethane the synperiplanar conformer of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone (maltol) exists in equilibrium with two types of dimers. The hydrogen atom of the hydroxy group of one them participates in the formation of a three-center bifurcated hydrogen bond. The second isomer is formed by means of two such H bonds, the intramolecular component of which is substantially weakened while the intermolecular component is so strong that it approximates in character to a two-center hydrogen bond.How to Cite
