Notes:
Extensive calculations on hydrogen bonded systems were carried out using the improved MM3 directional hydrogen bond potential. The resulting total function was reoptimized. Comparisons of the hydrogen bonding potential function from ab initio calculations (MP2/6-31G**); the original MM3(89); and the reoptimized MM3 force field MM3(96), for a variety of C, N, O, and Cl systems including the formamide dimer and formamide-water complex, are described herein. Hydrogen bonding is shown to be a far more complicated and ubiquitous phenomenon than is generally recognized. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Comput Chem 19: 1001-1016, 1998
