The understanding of the hydrogen bond , an interaction that appears in diverse environments and exercises widely varying functions, continues to expand with the report of a neutron diffraction analysis of a complex displaying an OH⋅⋅⋅Pt hydrogen bond with unligated water as the donor. What is known about hydrogen bonding so far provides a broad context for this new result.
