The textbook definition of a hydrogen bond consists of the interaction between the covalent X-H bond of one molecule and the lone electron pair of the Y atom of another, presuming both X and Y are electronegative atoms like 0, N, or F. This ostensibly simple interaction has turned out to be one of the most intriguing in all of chemistry, as well as one of the most important. The first realistic notions about the H-bond date back to the work of Huggins, Latimer, and Rodebush in the early part of this century (1 -4). Interest in these bonds increased when studies reported the bonds' intimate involvement in the structure and function of biological macromolecules (5, 6). In the early 1 950s, these bonds were accepted as primary elements in protein structure (7) and in transmission of the genetic code (8). Most of the early research on these bonds centered around the mani festations of hydrogen bonding in condensed phases. Infrared and Raman spectroscopy provided windows for viewing changes in the bonding pat terns of the molecules involved in the H-bond (3, 4). Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra produced dynamic data (9-1 3) dealing with the for mation and dissociation ofH-bonds and with proton cxchanges on various time scales that provided information about equilibria and rates. Radial distribution patterns revealed the manner in which the molecules organized themselves to accommodate the formation of H-bonds, and diffraction
