Abstract
Quantum chemical calculations are applied to study the structure and energy of the complexes of a series of Schiff bases (SBs) with acetic acid. The results of the calculations give evidence that a weak hydrogen bond occurs between the oxygen atoms of the acid and SB aromatic protons in these complexes along with the CH3СOOH…N=CH Н-bond. The structure of the complexes is confirmed experimentally by measuring the nuclear Overhauser effect. The effect of the properties of SB terminal substituents on the stability of SB-acid complexes is analyzed.
