Abstract Energy band structures of one-dimensional (HF)n- and (H2O)n-chains have been calculated (1) by extrapolation of CNDO/2-MO levels to infinite chain length and (2) by the CNDO/2 crystal orbital (CO) method. In the CO-calculations interactions up to fifth neighbours have been taken into account. Both types of calculations were performed using experimental geometries and CNDO/2 minimum geometries of the corresponding dimers (HF)2 and (H2O)2. With the same geometries CO calculations on two-dimensional sheets of hydrogen bonded chains were performed too. Due to end-effects the extrapolated MO bands are much broader than the bands obtained by the CO method. In the CO calculations further neighbour interactions play a non-negligible role and hence the nearest neighbour approximation is not sufficient for an accurate description of crystals containing hydrogen bonds. MO calculations on one-dimensional chains of both systems show that the hydrogen bond energies increase with the number of monomers indicating the presence of cooperative effects. The hydrogen bond energies calculated with the CO method are usually somewhat larger than those extrapolated from the MO results. In three-dimensional networks of (H2O)n, however, the additional stabilization of clusters with respect to dimers is drastically diminished.
