Talk on hydrogen bonding

Tomorrow I am giving a talk A unified picture of hydrogen bonding and proton transfer via a two state Hamiltonian.
It is based on this paper. The main point is

A simple model Hamiltonian

•with just two parameters

•is physically and chemically transparent

gives

•a unified picture of different types of H-bonds and of proton transfer

•insight into the H-bond puzzle

• a semi-quantitative description of empirical correlations between bond lengths, binding energies, vibrational frequencies….
