Abstract
A unique equation able to correlate two geometrical parameters in hydrogen- bonded (HB) systems, the X-H covalent bond distance of the donor and the H ... Y distance of the acceptor, has been devised. The equation is able to f it high-quality crystallographic data of different HE donors and several ni trogen and oxygen accepters.
