TLDR
In this paper, the vibrational behavior of the hydrogen bond system of the H3O2 unit was studied with widely varying O-H...O distances in natrochalcite type compounds, MeCu2(H3O 2)(ZO4)2 (Me = Na, K; Z=S, Se).
Abstract
FTIR spectroscopy was used to study the vibrational behaviour of the hydrogen bond system of the H3O2 unit, present with widely varying O-H...O distances in natrochalcite-type compounds, MeCu2(H3O2)(ZO4)2 (Me = Na, K; Z=S, Se). Absorption bands of powder and polarized single-crystal spectra of non-deuterated and partially deuterated natrochalcite phases are assigned to stretching and bending modes of clearly divided OH− and H2O groups. These results are indicative for a not centro-symmetric configuration of the H3O2 unit and confirm the presence of a very strong hydrogen bond with a split hydrogen atom position.

The incorporation of hydroxyl groups and molecular water in natural zircon (ZrSiO4)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present three crystallographic models for probable locations of simple hydroxyl groups in crystalline zircon, most probably associated with Si-vacant tetrahedrons (O-H // c) or occupied SiO 4 tetrahedral structures without or with a closely neighbored Zirconium vacancy.

Single-crystal IR spectroscopy of very strong hydrogen bonds in pectolite, NaCa2[Si3O8(OH)], and serandite, NaMn2[Si3O8(OH)]

TL;DR: In this article, an asymmetric O-H... O bond is confirmed in pectolite and serandite through comparison with different materials with similar, very strong hydrogen bonds and low-energy OH stretching modes.

On the quantum nature of the shared proton in hydrogen bonds

TL;DR: The relative influence of thermal and quantum fluctuations on the proton transfer properties of the charged water complexes H5O2+ and H3O2− was investigated with the use of ab initio techniques and found that quantum zero-point motion played a crucial role even at room temperature.
