The previous post explored the structural features of amides. Here I compare the analysis with that for the closely related thioamides.

π-Resonance in thioamides: a crystallographic “diff” with amides.
Saturday, September 5th, 2015π-Resonance in amides: a crystallographic reality check.
Saturday, September 5th, 2015The π-resonance in amides famously helped Pauling to his proposal of a helical structure for proteins. Here I explore some geometric properties of amides related to the C-N bond and the torsions about it.
