Abstract

The nature of the hydrogen bond is investigated by means of a comparative analysis of some hydrogen bonded and hydrogen-like bonded systems. It is concluded that the hydrogen bond is determined by electrostatic interaction between the proton and the region of high electron density in the neighbour molecule.
