Abstract
A most effective method of investigation of the hydrogen bond is the study of changes in vibrational spectra when the molecules are forming complexes. The results may be easily explained with the help of the predissociation theory and the Frank-Condon principle both applied to the energy-levels and transitions between them in the system:
