How to identify hydrogen bonds and other non-covalent interactions from structure considerations?

Chemistry is governed by a wide range of interactions, from ionic and covalent bonding, or other types of strong interactions, towards weaker types of bonding, attraction, or repulsion, that typically ...

Model of London forces and Hydrogen Bonding; the question is carried on forward, partially, as a personal question, from another question [closed]

Does Model of London forces and Hydrogen Bonding are themselves complicated and require multiple sub-models and assisted theories to explain its correctness. I asked this question in the form (...

Is Hydrogen Bonding a Type of Dipole Dipole Interaction?

I understand that dipole dipole forces is due to the attraction of the different partials charges of atoms in different molecules due to their different electro-negativities. For hydrogen bonding, ...

Electronic density distribution in hydrogen bond

I'm currently studying about the atomic configuration of electrostatic interactions. Concept is there that in case of interactions like in N-H...N-H (amides), the stability depends on the position of ...

Theoretical model for the hydrogen bond

I am curious how, from the perspective of quantum chemistry, the hydrogen bond is modeled. In particular I am interested in using such a model to estimate the amount of energy released per $\ce{H2O}$ ...

Examples of intramolecular hydrogen bonding closing bond angles

Okay, we've established that intramolecular hydrogen bonding can exist in molecules, and doesn't always serve the purpose of closing the bond angle at least relative to other stereoisomers of the same ...
