Unlike normal chemical bonds, hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) characteristically feature binding energies and contact distances that do not simply depend on the donor (D) acceptor (:A) nature. Instead, their context can lead to large variations even for a same donor−acceptor couple. As striking example, weak HO−H···OH2 bond in neutral water changes, acidic or basic medium, 6-fold stronger 15% shorter [H2O···H···OH2]+ [HO···H···OH]− bonds. This surprising behavior, sometimes called H-bond puzzle,...

The resonance-assisted hydrogen bond (RAHB) is a model of synergistic interplay between π-delocalization and hydrogen-bond (H-bond) strengthening originally introduced (Gilli, G.; Bellucci, F.; Ferretti, V.; Bertolasi, V.

Phenyl-substituted 1-arylazo-2-naphthols (AAN) display ···HNNCCO··· ⇌ ···NNCCOH··· ketohydrazone−azoenol tautomerism and can form intramolecular resonance-assisted H-bonds from pure NH···O to N···HO through tautomeric dynamically disordered bonds according the electronic properties of their substituents. Three compounds this series (m-OCH3-AAN = mOM; p-Cl-AAN pCl; p-NMe2-AAN pNM2) have been studied by X-ray crystallography at four temperatures (100−295 K), showing that remarkably short...
