Abstract
The modifications of the electrostatic molecular potential of formamide upon hydrogen bonding into various dimers and oligomers are presented and the predictive value of these potentials for assessing the strength of further hydrogen bonding is discussed. The potentials of long linear chains allow an understanding of the disposition of the molecules in the crystal.
