Hydrogen-bonded interfaces are essential structural elements in biology. Furthermore, they can mediate electron transport by coupling the electron to proton transfer within the interface. The specific hydrogen-bonding configuration and strength have a large impact on the proton transfer, which exchanges the hydrogen-bonded donor and acceptor species (i.e., NH...O --> N...HO). Modulations of the hydrogen-bonding environment, such as the hydrogen-bond stretch and twist modes, affect the proton-tra ...[more]
