The ability of fluorine to serve as a hydrogen-bond acceptor has been debated for many years. Short fluorine–hydrogen contacts are thought to play a key role in stabilizing some complex supramolecular systems. To directly probe the existence of fluorine–hydrogen bonds, we have performed NMR spectroscopy and computational modeling on a series of C2′-fluorinated nucleosides. Specifically, quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) analysis and [19F,1H] HMBC NMR experiments provided direct evidence for a C?H???F hydrogen bond in a 2′-F,4′-C-α-alkyl-ribonucleoside analogue. This interaction was also supported by QTAIM and NBO analyses, which confirmed a bond critical point for the C?H???F interaction (0.74 kcal mol?1). In contrast, although conformational analysis and NMR experiments of 2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro-arabinonucleosides indicated a close proximity between the 2′-fluorine and the H6/8 protons of the nucleobase, molecular simulations did not provide evidence for a C?H???F hydrogen bond.
