The nature of the hydrogen bond : outline of a comprehensive hydrogen bond theory /

Show other versions (1)

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.
