“Beyond Badger’s Rule: The Origins and Generality of the Structure−Spectra Relationship of Aqueous Hydrogen Bonds”

New theory that reveal the intermolecular distance from spectroscopic data was presented. The theory was started from the rule proposed by Prof Badger who was supervisor of Prof Xantheas. OH stretching vibrational frequencies were calculated for more than 200 examples and distance-frequency plot clearly explained by Prof Xantheas’ theory. It enables us to measure the bond length at the precision of pico/sub picometer.
