The general notation for hydrogen bonding is Dn−H···Ac, where the solid line represents a polar covalent bond, and the dotted or dashed line indicates the hydrogen bond. [6] The most frequent donor and acceptor atoms are nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), and fluorine (F), due to their high electronegativity and ability to engage in stronger ...
2 O, the 2s orbital of oxygen is mixed with the premixed hydrogen orbitals, forming a new bonding (2a 1) and antibonding orbital (4a 1). Similarly, the 2p orbital (b 1) and the other premixed hydrogen 1s orbitals (b 1) are mixed to make bonding orbital 1b 1 and antibonding orbital 2b 1. The two remaining 2p orbitals are unmixed.
The first theoretical study of the water dimer was an ab initio calculation published in 1968 by Morokuma and Pedersen. [10] Since then, the water dimer has been the focus of sustained interest by theoretical chemists concerned with hydrogen bonding—a search of the CAS database up to 2006 returns over 1100 related references (73 of them in 2005).
Hydrogen compounds are compounds containing the element hydrogen. In these compounds, hydrogen can form in the +1 and -1 oxidation states. Hydrogen can form compounds both ionically and in covalent substances. It is a part of many organic compounds such as hydrocarbons as well as water and other organic substances.
Hydrogen bonds of the form A--H•••B occur when A and B are two highly electronegative atoms (usually N, O or F) such that A forms a highly polar covalent bond with H so that H has a partial positive charge, and B has a lone pair of electrons which is attracted to this partial positive charge and forms a hydrogen bond.

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is responsible for the high boiling point of water (100 °C) compared to the other group 16 hydrides, which have little capability to hydrogen bond. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding is partly responsible for the secondary , tertiary , and quaternary structures of proteins and nucleic acids .
Hydrogen bonds contribute to the stability of ion pairs with e.g. protonated ammonium ions, and with anions is formed by deprotonation as in the case of carboxylate, phosphate etc; then the association constants depend on the pH. Entropic driving forces for ion pairing (in absence of significant H-bonding contributions) are also found in ...
Hydrogen bonds formed among various monomers guarantee the construction of hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks with different assembly architectures. [15] [16] [17] The constitution of the hydrogen pairs is based on the structural and functional design of the HOFs, therefore different hydrogen bonding pairs should be selected following systematic requirements.
