Description:
Geometric isotope effect of deuteration in a hydrogen-bonded host–guest crystal Geometric isotope effect of deuteration in a hydrogen-bonded host–guest crystal, Published online: 02 February 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-02931-8 Deuterating a hydrogen bond can change the bond’s geometry, a phenomenon known as the geometric isotope effect (GIE). Here, the authors find that a hydrogen-bonded host–guest crystal, imidazolium hydrogen terephthalate, exhibits significant GIE on its hydrogen bonds, changing its crystal phases and bulk dielectric properties.
