Electronic Implications of Hydrogen Bonding

As we have previously suggested, this large hydrogen-bond-induced distortion to Zt -Cl bonds may be the result of an interaction between the relatively high-lying and filled metal-chloride bonding orbitals and the relatively low-lying and empty [9]. To further probe this hypothesis, a series of Extended
