Dec, 2010: RECLASSIFICATION OF THE HYDROGEN BOND

The IUPAC have a new, straightforward and broad classification for the hydrogen bond.

(See here for links to the C&EN article and to the IUPAC website.)

 

 

The New IUPAC Definition of a Hydrogen Bond

"The hydrogen bond is an attractive interaction between a hydrogen atom from a molecule or a molecular fragment X–H in which X is more electronegative than H, and an atom or a group of atoms in the same or a different molecule, in which there is evidence of bond formation."
