The X− H bond length in X− H.. Y hydrogen bonded complexes is controlled by a balance of
two main factors acting in opposite directions.“XH bond lengthening” due to n (Y)→ σ*(H− X) …

For blue-shifted hydrogen-bonded systems, the hydrogen stretching frequency increases
rather than decreases on complexation. In computations at various levels of theory, the blue …

In this paper we put forward the idea that the various “improper, blue-shifting” hydrogen
bond systems discussed in the literature are all of essentially the same nature and occur …

The OH covalent bond of conventional hydrogen bonds of the OH⊙⊙⊙ O type undergoes a
lengthening as a result of the complex formation, and the OH stretching frequency shifts to …

The review focusses on the fundamental importance of non-covalent interactions in nature
by illustrating specific examples from chemistry, physics and the biosciences. Laser …

Biomass‐based hydrogel is a promising flame‐retardant material and has a high potential
for applications in transportation, aerospace, building and electrical engineering, and …

This chapter reviews different aspects of hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interaction in terms
of its nature, occurrence, and other characteristic features. H-bonding is the most widely …

The spectral manifestation and the nature of improper, blue-shifting hydrogen-bonded
complexes are entirely different from those of standard hydrogen-bonded complexes. While …

The ability of one H-bond in a chain to affect others is assessed by comparing the CH⊙⊙⊙
O bonds in (H2CO) n and (HFCO) n to the OH⊙⊙⊙ O bonds in (H2O) n. Both sorts of …

This is a tale of a pair of a hydrogen bond donor and acceptor, namely the CH donor and
sulphur acceptor, neither of which is a conventional hydrogen bond participant. Sulfur (S) …
