Abstract
There are various interactions that either partially fit or do not fit the currently accepted definitions of the hydrogen bond. However, they possess characteristics of this interaction. It seems that it is partly connected to the fact that these definitions are not precise. The typical 3c-4e (three centres - four electrons) A-H⋯B hydrogen bond is characterized by the single-atom A and B centres that are highly electronegative. On the other hand, non-typical interactions that do not fit the hydrogen bond definitions well are characterised by uncommon proton donors and/or proton acceptors. The cases of multi-centre proton acceptors, π-electron or σ-electron systems are well known - such interactions are designated as A-H⋯π and A-H⋯σ hydrogen bonds, respectively. However, the cases of interactions with the multi-centre proton donors and proton acceptors do not fit the majority of definitions of hydrogen bond. The π⋯H+⋯π system in the proton-bound homodimer of acetylene is an example. This system can be classified as a hydrogen bond according to the two-sites hydrogen bond, 2sHB, definition. There are various types of interactions discussed in this review; among them, those that are undoubtedly unclassified as hydrogen bonds, i.e., hydride bonds, and charge inverted hydrogen bonds, CIHBs. Special emphasis is also put here on the proton sponges and other systems such as the [FHF]- anion or [NgHNg]+ cation (Ng is the noble gas centre).

Abstract
The diazenylium ion (N2H+) is a ubiquitous ion in dense molecular clouds. This ion is often used as a dense gas tracer in outer space. Most of the previous works on diazenylium ion have focused on the shared-proton stretch band, νH+. In this work, we have performed reduced-dimensional calculations to investigate the vibrational structure of N2H+Ng, Ng = {He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn}. We demonstrate a few interesting things about this system. First, the vibrational coupling in N2H+ can be tuned to switch on interesting anharmonic effects such as Fermi resonance or combination bands by tagging it with different noble gases. Second, a comparison of the vibrational spectrum from N2H+He to N2H+Rn shows that the νH+ can be swept from an "Eigen-like" to a "Zundel-like" limiting case. Anharmonic calculations were performed using a multilevel approach, which utilized the MP2 and CCSD(T) levels of theories. Binding energies for the elimination of Ng in N2H+Ng are also reported.

Abstract
The protonated HCl dimer and trimer complexes were prepared by pulsed discharges in supersonic expansions of helium or argon doped with HCl and hydrogen. The ions were mass selected in a reflectron time-of-flight spectrometer and investigated with photodissociation spectroscopy in the IR and near-IR regions. Anharmonic vibrational frequencies were computed with VPT2 at the MP2/cc-pVTZ level of theory. The Cl-H stretching fundamentals and overtones were measured in addition to stretch-torsion combinations. VPT2 theory at this level confirms the proton-bound structure of the dimer complex and provides a reasonably good description of the anharmonic vibrations in this system. The trimer has a HCl-HClH+-ClH structure in which a central chloronium ion is solvated by two HCl molecules via hydrogen bonding. VPT2 reproduces anharmonic frequencies for this system, including several combinations involving core ion Cl-H stretches, but fails to describe the relative band intensities.

Abstract
Matrix isolation experiments have been successfully employed to extensively study the infrared spectrum of several proton-bound rare gas complexes. Most of these studies have focused on the spectral signature for the H+ stretch (ν3) and its combination bands with the intermolecular stretch coordinate (ν1). However, little attention has been paid to the Fermi resonance interaction between the H+ stretch (ν3) and H+ bend overtone (2ν2) in the asymmetric proton-bound rare gas dimers, RgH+Rg'. In this work, we have investigated this interaction on KrH+Rg and XeH+Rg with Rg = (Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe). A multilevel potential energy surface (PES) was used to simulate the vibrational structure of these complexes. This PES is a dual-level comprising of second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory and coupled-cluster singles doubles with perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] levels of ab initio theories. We found that when both the combination bands (nν1 + ν3) and bend overtone 2ν2 compete to borrow intensity from the ν3 band, the latter wins over the former, which then results in the suppression of the nν1 + ν3 bands. The current simulations offer new assignments for the ArH+Xe and KrH+Xe spectra. Complete basis set (CBS) binding energies for these complexes were also calculated at the CCSD(T)/CBS level.

Abstract
In this work, we describe ab initio calculations and assignment of infrared (IR) spectra of hydrogen-bonded ion-molecular complexes that involve a fluxional proton: the linear N2H+···OC and N2D+···OC complexes. Given the challenges of describing fluxional proton dynamics and especially its IR activity, we use electric field-driven classical trajectories, i.e., the driven molecular dynamics (DMD) method that was developed by us in recent years and for similar applications, in conjunction with high-level electronic structure theory. Namely, we present a modified and a numerically efficient implementation of DMD specifically for direct (or "on the fly") calculations, which we carry out at the MP2-F12/AVDZ level of theory for the potential energy surface (PES) and MP2/AVDZ for the dipole moment surfaces (DMSs). Detailed analysis of the PES, DMS, and the time-dependence of the first derivative of the DMS, referred to as the driving force, for the highly fluxional vibrations involving H+/D+ revealed that the strongly non-harmonic PES and non-linear DMS yield remarkably complex vibrational spectra. Interestingly, the classical trajectories reveal a doublet in the proton transfer part of the spectrum with the two peaks at 1800 and 1980 cm-1. We find that their shared intensity is due to a Fermi-like resonance interaction, within the classical limit, of the H+ parallel stretch fundamental and an H+ perpendicular bending overtone. This doublet is also observed in the deuterated species at 1360 and 1460 cm-1.

Abstract
The structure and vibrational spectra of protonated Ar clusters ArnH+ (n = 2-3) are studied using potential energy surfaces at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level and basis set. Ar binding energies, as well as position isomerism in Ar3H+, were investigated. In our previous work, the spectra of Ar2H+ reveal a strong progression of combination bands, which involves the asymmetric Ar-H+ stretch with multiple quanta of the symmetric Ar-H+ stretch. In this work, insights on the origin of such progression were examined using an adiabatic model. In addition, contributions from mechanical and electrical anharmonicity on the progressions' intensities were also examined. Comparison of the calculated spectrum for the bare and Ar-tagged ions reveals that the reduction of the symmetry group, from D∞h to either C∞v or C2v, results in a richer vibrational structure in the 500-1700 cm-1 region. When compared with previously reported action spectra (D. C. McDonald III, D. T. Mauney, D. Leicht, J. H. Marks, J. A. Tan, J.-L. Kuo, and M. A. Duncan, J. Chem. Phys., 2016, 145, 231,101), it appears that the position isomers, because of the binding of the weakly bound Ar messenger, are needed to account for the additional bands in the infrared photodissociation spectrum for Ar3H+. These findings demonstrate the active role of the messenger atom in relaxing some of the selection rules for the bare ion's vibrational transitions - resulting in an augmentation of the bands in the action spectrum.

Abstract
The spectra for H5+ and D5+ are extended to cover the region between 4830 and 7300 cm-1. These spectra are obtained using mass-selected photodissociation spectroscopy. To understand the nature of the states that are accessed by the transitions in this and prior studies, we develop a four-dimensional model Hamiltonian. This Hamiltonian is expressed in terms of the two outer H2 stretches, the displacement of the shared proton from the center of mass of these two H2 groups, and the distance between the H2 groups. This choice is motivated by the large oscillator strength associated with the shared proton stretch and the fact that the spectral regions that have been probed correspond to zero, one, and two quanta of excitation in the H2 stretches. This model is analyzed using an adiabatic separation of the H2 stretches from the other two vibrations and includes the non-adiabatic couplings between H2 stretch states with the same total number of quanta of excitation in the H2 stretches. Based on the analysis of the energies and wave functions obtained from this model, we find that when there are one or more quanta of excitation in the H2 stretches the states come in pairs that reflect tunneling doublets. The states accessed by the transitions in the spectrum with the largest intensity are assigned to the members of the doublets with requisite symmetry that are localized on the lowest-energy adiabat for a given level of H2 excitation.

Abstract
Molecular cations of HO4 + and DO4 + are produced in a supersonic expansion. They are mass-selected, and infrared photodissociation spectra of these species are measured with the aid of argon-tagging. Although previous theoretical studies have modeled these systems as proton-bound dimers of molecular oxygen, infrared spectra have free OH stretching bands, suggesting other isomeric structures. As a consequence, we undertook extensive computational studies. Our conformer search used a composite method based on an economical combination of single- and multi-reference theories. Several conformers were located on the quintet, triplet, and singlet surfaces, spanning in energy of only a few thousand wavenumbers. Most of the singlet and triplet conformers have pronounced multiconfigurational character. Previously unidentified covalent-like structures (H-O-O-O-O) on the singlet and triplet surfaces likely represent the global minima. In our experiments, HO4 + is formed in a relatively hot environment, and similar experiments have been shown capable of producing multiple conformers in low-lying electronic states. None of the predicted HO4 + isomers can be ruled out a priori based on energetic arguments. We interpret our argon-tagged spectra with Second-Order Vibrational Perturbation Theory with Resonances (VPT2+K). The presence of one or more covalent-like isomers is the only reasonable explanation for the spectral features observed.

Abstract
We investigate the utility of the driven molecular dynamics (DMD) approach to complex molecular vibrations by applying it to linear clusters with several degenerate vibrational modes and infrared (IR) intense combination bands. Here, the prominent features in N4H+ and N4D+ IR spectra, reported and described by others previously, have been characterized for the first time by DMD using recently published high-level potential and dipole moment surfaces. Namely, the calculations closely correlate the parallel proton stretch vibration in N4H+, at 750 cm-1, with the one observed experimentally at 743 cm-1. Second, the intense IR-active combination bands found in experimental spectra within 900-1100 cm-1 have been properly recovered by DMD at 950 cm-1 as strongly IR-active and confirmed as consisting of H+ asymmetric stretch and N2···N2 intermolecular symmetric stretch modes. Furthermore, we show that certain combination bands involving overtone transitions may be recovered by DMD using a hard-driving regime, such as the 1409 cm-1 band measured in N4H+, revealed by DMD at 1375 cm-1, and assigned to a progressive combination of the parallel H+ stretch and two quanta of N2···N2 stretch, in agreement with quantum mechanical studies reported previously by others.

Abstract
The infrared spectrum of proton-bound rare gas dimers has been extensively studied via matrix isolation spectroscopy. However, little attention has been paid on their spectrum in the gas phase. Most of the Rg2H+ has not been detected outside the matrix environment. Recently, ArnH+ (n = 3-7) has been first detected in the gas-phase [D. C. McDonald et al., J. Chem. Phys. 145, 231101 (2016)]. In that work, anharmonic theory can reproduce the observed vibrational structure. In this paper, we extend the existing theory to examine the vibrational signatures of Rg2H+, Rg = {Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe}. The successive binding of Rg to H+ was investigated through the calculation of stepwise formation energies. It was found that this binding is anti-cooperative. High-level full-dimensional potential energy surfaces at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVQZ//MP2/aug-cc-pVQZ were constructed and used in the anharmonic calculation via discrete variable representation. We found that the potential coupling between the symmetric and asymmetric Rg-H+ stretch (ν1 and ν3 respectively) causes a series of bright n1ν1 + ν3 progressions. From Ne2H+ to Xe2H+, an enhancement of intensities for these bands was observed.

Abstract
Protonated ethylenediamine monomer, dimer, and trimer were produced in the gas phase by an electrical discharge/supersonic expansion of argon seeded with ethylenediamine (C2H8N2, en) vapor. Infrared spectra of these ions were measured in the region from 1000 to 4000 cm-1 using laser photodissociation and argon tagging. Computations at the CBS-QB3 level were performed to explore possible isomers and understand the infrared spectra. The protonated monomer exhibits a gauche conformation and an intramolecular hydrogen bond. Its parallel shared proton vibration occurs as a broad band around 2785 cm-1, despite the formally equivalent proton affinities of the two amino groups involved, which usually leads to low frequency bands. The barrier to intramolecular proton transfer is 2.2 kcal mol-1 and does not vanish upon addition of the zero-point energy, unlike the related protonated ammonia dimer. The structure of the dimer is formed by chelation of the monomer's NH3+ group, thereby localizing the excess proton and increasing the frequency of the intramolecular shared proton vibration to 3157 cm-1. Other highly fluxional dimer structures with facile intermolecular proton transfer and concomitant structural reorganization were computed to lie within 2 kcal mol-1 of the experimentally observed structure. The spectrum of the trimer is rather diffuse, and a clear assignment is not possible. However, an isomer with an intramolecular proton transfer like that of the monomer is most consistent with the experimental spectrum.

Abstract
Protonated ions of acetylacetone, H+(Hacac), and their argon-tagged analogues are produced via a pulsed discharge and cooled in a supersonic expansion. These ions are mass analyzed, selected in a time-of-flight spectrometer, and studied with infrared laser photodissociation spectroscopy using the method of rare-gas atom tagging. Computational studies at the DFT/B3LYP level are employed to elucidate the structures and spectra of these ions, which are expected to exist as either enol- or keto-based tautomers. The protonated acetylacetone ion is found to form a single enol-based isomer. Adding one or two water molecules to this ion, for example, H+(Hacac)(H2O)1,2, produces primarily enol-based structures, although a small concentration of keto structures also contribute to the spectra. The vibrational patterns resulting from hydrogen bonding in these systems are not well-described by theory. Addition of a third water molecule to form the H+(Hacac)(H2O)3 ion causes a significant change in the spectroscopy, attributed to proton transfer from the H+(Hacac) ion into the water solvent.

Abstract
Ion-molecule complexes of the form H+Arn are produced in pulsed-discharge supersonic expansions containing hydrogen and argon. These ions are analyzed and mass-selected in a reflectron spectrometer and studied with infrared laser photodissociation spectroscopy. Infrared spectra for the n = 3-7 complexes are characterized by a series of strong bands in the 900-2200 cm-1 region. Computational studies at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level examine the structures, binding energies, and infrared spectra for these systems. The core ion responsible for the infrared bands is the proton-bound argon dimer, Ar-H+-Ar, which is progressively solvated by the excess argon. Anharmonic vibrational theory is able to reproduce the vibrational structure, identifying it as arising from the asymmetric proton stretch in combination with multiple quanta of the symmetric argon stretch. Successive addition of argon shifts the proton vibration to lower frequencies, as the charge is delocalized over more ligands. The Ar-H+-Ar core ion has a first solvation sphere of five argons.

Abstract
The structural features, spectroscopic properties, and interaction energies of the linear proton-bound complexes of OCH(+) and its sulfur analog SCH(+) with N2 were investigated using the high-level ab initio methods MP2 and CCSD(T) as well as density functional theory with the aug-cc-pVXZ (X = D, T) basis sets. The rotational constants along with the vibrational frequencies of the cation-molecule complexes are reported here. A comparison of the interaction energies of the OCH(+)-N2 and SCH(+)-N2 complexes with those of the OCH(+)-CO and OCH(+)-OC complexes was also performed. The energies of all the complexes were determined at the complete basis set (CBS) limit. CS shows higher proton affinity at the C site than CO does, so the complex OCH(+)-N2 is relatively strongly bound and has a higher interaction energy than the SCH(+)-N2 complex. Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) was used to decompose the total interaction energies of the complexes into the attractive electrostatic interaction energy (E elst), induction energy (E ind), dispersion energy (E disp), and repulsive exchange energy (E exch). We found that the ratio of E ind to E disp is large for these linear proton-bound complexes, meaning that inductive effects are favored in these complexes. The bonding characteristics of the linear complexes were elucidated using natural bond orbital (NBO) theory. NBO analysis showed that the attractive interaction is caused by NBO charge transfer from the lone pair on N to the σ*(C-H) antibonding orbital in XCH(+)-N2 (X = O, S). The quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) was used to analyze the strengths of the various bonds within and between the cation and molecule in each of these proton-bound complexes in terms of the electron density at bond critical points (BCP). Graphical Abstract Linear proton-bound complexes of OCH(+)-N2 and SCH(+)-N2. In these complexes, inductive effect is favored over dispersive effect. The attractive interaction is the NBO charge transfer from N-lone pair of N2 to CH σ* antibonding orbital of XCH(+) (X = O, S).

Abstract
We report vibrational predissociation spectra of the four protonated dipeptides derived from glycine and sarcosine, GlyGlyH(+)•(H(2))(1,2), GlySarH(+)•(D(2))(2), SarGlyH(+)•(H(2))(2), and SarSarH(+)•(D(2))(2), generated in a cryogenic ion trap. Sharp bands were recovered by monitoring photoevaporation of the weakly bound H(2) (D(2)) molecules in a linear action regime throughout the 700-4200 cm(-1) range using a table-top laser system. The spectral patterns were analyzed in the context of the low energy structures obtained from electronic structure calculations. These results indicate that all four species are protonated on the N-terminus, and feature an intramolecular H-bond involving the amino group. The large blue-shift in the H-bonded N-H fundamental upon incorporation of a methyl group at the N-terminus indicates that this modification significantly lowers the strength of the intramolecular H-bond. Methylation at the amide nitrogen, on the other hand, induces a significant rotation (~110°) about the peptide backbone.

Abstract
Gradual solvation of protons by water is observed in liquids by mixing strong mineral acids with various amounts of water in acetonitrile solutions, a process which promotes rapid dissociation of the acids in these solutions. The stoichiometry of the reaction XH(+) + n(H(2)O) = X + (H(2)O)(n)H(+) was studied for strong mineral acids (negatively charged X, X = ClO(4)¯, Cl¯, Br¯, I¯, CF(3)SO(3)¯) and for strong cationic acids (uncharged X, X = R*NH(2), H(2)O). We have found by direct quantitative analysis preference of n = 2 over n = 1 for both groups of proton transfer reactions at relatively low water concentrations in acetonitrile. At high water concentrations, we have found that larger water solvates must also be involved in the solvation of the proton while the spectral features already observed for n = 2, H(+)(H(2)O)(2), remain almost unchanged at large n values up to at least 10 M of water.
