Abstract. Nonempirical simulations of molecular clusters composed of water, ammonia, and hydrogen fluoride carried out at the Moeller-Plesset (MP2) level with 6-31++G(d,p) basis set provided information about electronic-structure peculiarities of hydrogen bonding and frequency ranges of phase and anti-phase H-bond proton oscillations. Combined analysis of H-bond orbitals and bridge-proton migration paths in closed H-bonded sequences confirmed the concept of π-kind conjugation of hydrogen bonds when they are alternating with covalent bonds and revealed the unique characteristic frequency range of bridge proton oscillations in conjugated H-bonded structural rings.
Keywords: hydrogen bonds; conjugation; H-bond network; water; ammonia; hydrogen fluoride; H-bond orbitals; H-bond energy; electrostatic potential; consistent vibrations; bridge protons; characteristic frequency range
