Abstract
The results of experimental and theoretical investigations of chemical bonding through a bridging hydrogen atom in organic cations and anions have been examined from the point of view of molecular-orbital theory. It has been shown on the basis of an MO analysis, as well as direct nonempirical and semiempirical calculations, that a chemical bond through a bridging hydrogen atom in a charged organic compound is a three-center two-electron bond and is completely equivalent to similar bonds in electron-deficient systems such as boranes - and organo-metallic clusters. Promising neutral organic systems which may contain a bridging hydrogen bond have been analyzed.
