Abstract Measured molecular dipole moments and theoretical percentages of mesomeric zwitterionic forms were used to calculate the attractive electrostatic potentials at short, V (s), medium, V (m), and long, V (I), distances. Values of an attraction power function Φ ( H ) = A + BV (s) V (m) V (I) was then deduced for 18 nitriles and cyanamide vinylogues or iminologues along the C≡N direction. The satisfactory agreement observed between Φ ( H ) and the hydrogen bond basicity scale p K HB indicates that the method can be a useful tool for the prediction of hydrogen bonding, needing only simple calculations and allowing easy interpretation.
