As the carbon-fluorine bond has become increasing common in pharmaceutical agents, it is critical to understand the interactions of these bonds with water and biomolecules.  In this study, high level ab initio methods are used to compare the hydrogen bonds of various OH and NH donors to alkyl and aryl fluorides with those to more common acceptors.  Energies, geometries, vibrational frequencies, population analysis, and electron topology will be used.
