We report a critical assessment of the building blocks constituting a general protocol for the study of the structure, strength, and kinetics of hydrogen bridges in large biological systems. The potentialities of self-consistent hybrid approaches for computing reliable potential energy surfaces are

β¦ Synopsis
The method of localized charge distributions is used to analyze the difference in hydrogen-bond strength between H O ΠΈΠΈΠΈ HOH and H O ΠΈΠΈΠΈ HF in terms of 2 2
the competition between the electronic kinetic energy and the potential energy. The main source of the difference is a relatively larger decrease in the electronic kinetic and potential energy of the F core and the HF bond, respectively, upon polarization. The source of the differences is the larger nuclear charge of F. The kinetic energy decrease is related to the second central moment of the density through the uncertainty principle.

Balint Kurti's Fourier grid Hamiltonian method is employed to obtain the molecular wave function and equilibrium bond length for H 2 and HF molecules. The density functional theory parameter, namely, the chemical hardness (Ξ·) value, was determined for some diatomic hydride molecules using this wave
