Abstract:
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.

Publisher Synopsis
"This book should be required reading for biochemists as well as for anyone who designs or interprets empirical models that need to reproduce systems where H-bonding is important. A valuable contribution to our understanding of H-bonds. The Gillis should be commended for the considerable time and effort they must have spent on this endeavor."--Journal of the American Chemical Society
"A real contribution to the field."--Gautam R. Desiraju, University of Hyderabad
