Abstract
An approximate abโinitio valence bond calculation of hydrogen bond energy was carried out and the results are discussed. The total bond energy of a simplified N๏ฃฟHโฆO structure is calculated for various N๏ฃฟH and NโฆO distances and the potential energy profiles are obtained. The hydrogen bond energy, ie, the delocalization energy gained by the formation of one hydrogen bond is found to be 8.7โ12.0 kcal/mole. The potential energy is characterized by a deep minimum at 1.6โ1.8 a.u. from the nitrogen and the second trough is found to be considerably higher than the first.
