Abstract
The authors present a theoretical study on a coherent series of hydrogen bonded complexes involving first row hydrides. The ab initio calculations were carried out at the 4-31G basis set level with the Gaussian-70 computer program. The results show clearly the existence of stable complexes and their properties have been obtained. The electrostatic potential around the proton acceptor molecule can be used as a static index of complexation. The maps of electron differential density functions enable the electronic reorganization to be visualised during the complexation. Finally, the different contributions to the H-bond formation energy and also the upper limit to the inherent error in the `superposition effect' are evaluated.
