Nature of the Hydrogen Bond - Outline of a Comprehensive Hydrogen Bond Theory

Zusatztext This book should be required reading for biochemists as well as for anyone who designs or interprets empirical models that need to reproduce systems where H-bonding is important. A valuable contribution to our understanding of H-bonds. The Gillis should be commended for the considerable time and effort they must have spent on this endeavor.
