outline of a comprehensive hydrogen bond theory
1 online resource (xi, 317 pages, 6 unnumbered pages of plates) : illustrations (some color)
This text defines the rules for predicting H-bond energies and geometries from the properties of the interacting molecules. This new knowledge is used to investigate the molecular mechanisms in systems relevant to chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, crystallography, and material sciences.
