Abstract
MUCH interest and significance pertain to the energy of the hydrogen-bond molecular interaction present in many gaseous, liquid and solid systems1. There are very few reliable estimates for its magnitude in the crystalline state, where its role is often a predominant feature of the lattice structure.
