Summary

The authors focus their review on the dynamical properties of hydrogen bonds X[BOND]H···Y which have been widely studied by means of infrared spectroscopy. Indeed, the infrared (IR) spectra of hydrogen bonds (H bonds) appeared to be a very useful tool because the broad stretching band νS (X[BOND]{vector}H···Y) is very informative, containing complete information on the electronic and consequently nuclear dynamics.
