Intrinsic Dynamic Nature of Neutral Hydrogen Bonds Elucidated with QTAIM Dual Functional Analysis: Role of the Compliance Force Constants and QTAIM‐DFA Parameters in Stability

摘要

Invited for this month's cover picture is Professor Satoko Hayashi's group from the Faculty of Systems Engineering at Wakayama University (Japan). The cover picture shows Japanese lanterns for the Bon festival dance dangling on two ropes, and several molecular graphs with contour maps for hydrogen bonds (HBs) emerging from the lanterns. The curves of the ropes may correspond to the Δ E (energy of formation) and C ij (compliance constant) values for HBs, for which the product will be constant.
