Dear Prof Arunan,

 

I have downloaded and read the IUPAC document: Definition of the Hydrogen

Bond (provisional) with great interest.

 

However, there is little in the document about the dynamic nature of the

hydrogen bond, and that the hydrogen vibrates between the two delta negative

centres.

 

The definitions avoid any mention of the special nature of hydrogen and its

low mass.
