This paper follows a previous publication [Salaun, A., et al. Conformation of N alpha-substituted hydrazino acetamides in CDCl(3), the precious help of the analysis of Delta delta between amidic hydrogens, and correlation to the conformation of Aza-beta(3)-peptides. J. Org. Chem. 71 (2006) 150-158] where the so called ``hydrazinoturn'' hydrogen bond network is assessed in aza-beta(3)-peptides, as modeled by selected representative hydrazinoacetamides, on the basis of proton NMR. In this paper, DFT theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/6-311G++(d,p) level of theory are described in order to shed light on the intramolecular hydrogen bond network of the same molecules. The analysis is carried on by means of the AIM topological analysis of the electronic density. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
