Hydrogen Bond Research / Edition 1 in Bloomington, MN

Seven review articles and original papers provide a representative ove rview of the research work done in hydrogen bond research at Austrian universities. The topics covered by the contributions are: state of th e art of understanding hydrogen bonding in biopolymers; recent NMR tec hniques for studying hydrogen bonding in aqueous solutions; intramolec ular hydrogen bonding and proton transfer in a class of Mannich bases derived from substituted phenols and naphtols; competition between int ramolecular hydrogen bonds in ortho-disubstituted phenols; molecular d ynamic simulations on proton transfer in 5,8-dihydroxynaphtochinone an d in the formic acid dimer; accurate calculations of the intermolecula r interactions in cyanoacetylen dimers; correlation between OH...O bon d distances and OH stretching frequencies as derived from structural a nd spectroscopic data of minerals.
