Mapping proton transfer : Disorder and proton transfer are important aspects in many hydrogen bonds. These phenomena can affect physical properties and the design of intermolecular interactions for crystal engineering. Variable‐temperature X‐ray diffraction (see Fourier map) is shown to be a highly appropriate tool for identifying and imaging the disorder, and for following its evolution as the external conditions change.
