    Notes: Abstract Energy band structures of one-dimensional (HF)n- and (H2O)n-chains have been calculated (1) by extrapolation of CNDO/2-MO levels to infinite chain length and (2) by the CNDO/2 crystal orbital (CO) method. In the CO-calculations interactions up to fifth neighbours have been taken into account. Both types of calculations were performed using experimental geometries and CNDO/2 minimum geometries of the corresponding dimers (HF)2 and (H2O)2. With the same geometries CO calculations on two-dimensional sheets of hydrogen bonded chains were performed too. Due to end-effects the extrapolated MO bands are much broader than the bands obtained by the CO method. In the CO calculations further neighbour interactions play a non-negligible role and hence the nearest neighbour approximation is not sufficient for an accurate description of crystals containing hydrogen bonds. MO calculations on one-dimensional chains of both systems show that the hydrogen bond energies increase with the number of monomers indicating the presence of cooperative effects. The hydrogen bond energies calculated with the CO method are usually somewhat larger than those extrapolated from the MO results. In three-dimensional networks of (H2O)n, however, the additional stabilization of clusters with respect to dimers is drastically diminished.

    Notes: The results of theoretical investigations are reported concerning the possibility of impurity-type charge carrier production in proteins. The energy band structures of the periodic protein model polyglycine calculated with the aid of the ab initio Hartree-Fock crystal orbital method and corrected afterwards for long-range correlation effects are compared with the empty levels of glyoxal, methyl-glyoxal, acrolein, and croton-aldehyde, suggested recently by Albert Szent-Györgyi as possible acceptors against proteins. The comparison with previous supermolecule calculations shows that appreciable charge transfer can be expected to glyoxal, methyl-glyoxal, and acrolein from the polypeptides, while croton-aldehyde is probably less efficient in this relation.
