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.

Theoretical investigation on ESIPT mechanism for a novel Sal-3,4-benzophen system

TL;DR: Based on the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT), the authors theoretically investigated the properties of excited state process for a novel salicylidene sal-3,4-benzophen (Sal-3-4-B) system, which contains two intramolecular hydrogen bonds (O1-H2⋯N3 and O4-H5-N6).

Characterization of c-h-o hydrogen-bonds on the basis of the charge-density

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of criteria are proposed based on the theory of "atoms in molecules" to establish hydrogen bonding, even for multiple interactions involving C-H-O hydrogen bonds.

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.

The development of versions 3 and 4 of the Cambridge Structural Database System

TL;DR: The CSD itself acts as a computerized depository for large-volume numerical results for some 30 journals and may conveniently be categorized according to its "dimensionality", as described below and illustrated in Figure 1.
