Copy of: Structural Characterization of the Molecular Interactions in Concentrated Aqueous Azole Solutions:1,2,3-Triazole and 1,2,4-Triazole.

Azoles constitute an interesting class of heteroaromatic molecules because of the presence of two different structural patterns, such as p-electron networks and Hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor groups. Azoles are exposed to water solvent in a large number of biological system. The structure of aqueous solutions of azoles is of great interest: hydration is a complex phenomenon and the use of a combined approach is required to completely describe its structural and dynamical aspects. Spectroscopic and diffraction techniques provide qualitative information on intermolecular interactions: X-ray scattering is insensitive to H atoms. Neutron diffraction is sensitive to scattering from all constituent atoms, C, N, O, H. We would like to use this technique to examine the solvation and intermolecular interactions of the two concentrated aqueous azole solutions: 1,2,3-Triazole and 1,2,4-Triazole.
