Forcing the Hydrogen Bond Cl¯ Should strengthen the cation-anion interaction Still a spherical anion Will simplify the problem

Conclusions A true hydrogen bond can be observed with the Cl¯, while Tf 2 N¯ and BF 4 ¯ have minimal hydrogen bonding character. Deuteration serves to isolate the acidic H- bonding position from other C-H stretches and Fermi resonances to better study the nature of the hydrogen bonding at the acidic position.
