Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Hydrogen bonds: An approach based on energy decomposition analysis is discussed in the analysis of the bonding energy in hydrogen-bonded anion-anion and cation-cation complexes (see picture The electrostatic Coulombic energy between the two fragments in the complexes is calculated based on the electron density distribution and not based on point charges.
