Abstract
Hydrogen bonding is a phenomenon that can be recognized and studied by almost all the methods of physical chemistry, spectroscopy, and diffraction. The anomalies in the physical properties of gases, liquids, solids, and solutions having hydrogen-bonding functional groups played the significant role in the recognition of hydrogen bonding as an intra- or intermolecular cohesive force which is distinctively different from a van der Waals interaction [28, 42, 46, 153 – 155] (Box 3.1).
