title: On the nature of hydrogen bonds to platinum(II)--which interaction can predict their strength?
abstract: The interaction between hydrogen bond donors and platinum has been analysed. Our results point to an interaction that can be entirely predicted from the dz(2) orbital energy of the platinum centre indicating strong charge transfer, with significant dispersion contribution to the bonding, very different from classical hydrogen bonds.
