Abstract
The shapes of macromolecules and their complexes with small molecules are often determined by extended networks of hydrogen bonds. Here, for the first time, we provide a detailed description of a cooperative pair of hydrogen bonds to an individual molecule of urea. The structure and properties of a gas phase complex formed between urea and isocyanic acid are characterised through microwave spectroscopy and ab initio calculations at the CCSD(T)(F12*)/aug-cc-pVTZ level.
