title: The combination of transition metal ions and hydrogen-bonding interactions.
abstract: This feature article presents an overview of the types of hydrogen bonding interactions involving metal complexes and their functional effects. It shows with recent examples why hydrogen bonds have become a crucial functional and structural element in modern inorganic chemistry. The relevance of this combination in tackling current chemistry challenges such as energy production and the development of new materials and more effective catalysts, sensors and medicines is illustrated.
