The Nature of the Hydrogen Bond

Outline of a Comprehensive Hydrogen Bond Theory

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book defines, for the first time, the rules for predicting H-bond energies and geometries from the properties of the interacting molecules. This new knowledge is used to investigate the molecular mechanisms in systems relevant to chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, crystallography, and material sciences.
