The probable number of hydrogen-bonded contacts for chemical groups in organic crystal structures

Lourdes Infantes and W. D. Sam Motherwell


A new database has been created for chemical groups and their hydrogen-bonded contacts for 41055 organic crystals. The accessible surface of an atom and the ratio between the number of donors and acceptors in a compound have been found to be useful parameters to predict the probable number of contacts for that atom.
