Hydrogen bonding abilities of hydroxamic acid and its isosteres

This study comprises seven chapters. In chapter 1 an overview of chemistry, biological functions and literature studies of hydroxamic acids (HA) and its isosteres is presented. The principles of quantum mechanics underlying the computational methods employed to study HAs are given in brief. Chapter 2 describes intra- and intermolecular H-bonding interactions between formohydoxamic acid (FHA) and s...
