This research aims to clarify the electronic aspects of hydrogen bonding in hexose crystals and assess site-resolved differences.
Investigated 13 hexoses using DV-Xα molecular orbital calculations on cluster models from crystal structures.
Evaluated hydrogen-bond strength using bond overlap population (BOP) analysis.
Performed Full Interaction Maps (FIMs) analysis specifically for β-aldohexoses.
BOP analysis indicated the O1 site has the highest values in β-aldohexoses compared to others.
No distinct site preference was found in α-aldohexoses, while O1 had the lowest values in ketohexoses.
Both BOP and FIMs analyses demonstrate that hydrogen-bond strength and selectivity depend on molecular structure.
