Far-weaker hydrogen bonds form because of an electrostatic type of attraction between hydrogen and a more negatively charged atom or molecule, for instance causing water molecules to attract one ...

Thus, when a (remote) negatively charged functional group is placed on the left-hand side of the N–O • bond, the electrostatic stabilization of this minor contributor leads to further ...

This capability allows chemists to organize a collection of separately weak bonding interactions, such as the electrostatic bond between an ether oxygen atom and a metal ion, to achieve strong ...

Their novel experiment found that water molecules on a cold graphene surface initially repel each other, until additional energy allows them to reorient themselves and form electrostatic bonds. The ...

Powerful electric fields from a laser pulse can momentarily weaken the electrostatic bonds and enable the electron to quantum-mechanically tunnel away from the atom. Leonid Keldysh, now at the ...
