Question:
Strong hydrogen bonds can either be symmetric, as in the [F–H–F]− anion (with both F–H distances equal at 1.14 Å) or asymmetric as in KH2PO4 (where the O–H bond distance is 1.05 Å and H–O hydrogen bonding separation is 1.51 Å). How could you determine whether the hydrogen bond in the following compounds was symmetric or asymmetric
(a) BO(OH)
(b) CrO(OH)
