In this paper, the authors define the hydrogen bond as an attractive interaction between two molecular moieties in which at least one of them contains a hydrogen atom that plays a fundamental role.
Abstract
Hydrogen bonds (HBs) are the most important ‘weak’ interactions encountered in solid, liquid and gas phases. The HB can be defined as an attractive interaction between two molecular moieties in which at least one of them contains a hydrogen atom that plays a fundamental role. Classical HBs correspond to those formed by two heteroatoms, A and B, with a hydrogen atom bonded to one of them and located approximately in between (A–H···B). Recently, knowledge of the number of functional groups which act as hydrogen bond donors or acceptors has increased considerably and most of these new groups are discussed.

Dihydrogen Generation from Amine/Boranes: Synthesis, FT‐ICR, and Computational Studies

TL;DR: A Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance spectrometry (FT-ICR) study of the gas-phase protonation of ammonia-borane and sixteen amine/boranes has shown that, without exception, the protonations of amine /boranes leads to the formation of dihydrogen.

Halogen-hydride interaction between Z-X (Z = CN, NC; X = F, Cl, Br) and H-Mg-Y (Y = H, F, Cl, Br, CH3).

TL;DR: A clear dependence of the halogen-hydride bond strength on the electron-donating or -withdrawing effect of the substituent in the H-Mg-Y subunits is identified and several correlative relationships between interaction energies and various properties such as binding distance, frequency shift, molecular electrostatic potential, and intermolecular density at bond critical point have been checked.

Theoretical Study of the Interplay between Lithium Bond and Hydrogen Bond in Complexes Involved with HLi and HCN

TL;DR: The natural bond orbital and atoms in molecules analyses indicate that the electrostatic force plays a main role in the lithium bonding and both the charge transfer and induction effect due to the electro static interaction are responsible for the cooperativity in the trimer.

The C-h···o hydrogen bond: structural implications and supramolecular design.

TL;DR: It is clearly no longer necessary to justify the relevance of C-H’‚‚O hydrogen bonds, so widely invoked are they in small-molecule and biological crystallography and supramolecular synthesis and crystal engineering.
