A modified MNDO (MNDO/M) method intended for the calculation of systems with X/prime/-H-X/double prime/ hydrogen bonds, where X/prime/, X/double prime/ = N, O, has been developed. The energies of formation and geometric parameters of a large number of charged and neutral complexes have been calculated. Calculations of the activation energies for proton transfer in model systems have been carried out. It has been concluded on the basis of a comparison of the results obtained with the experimental values and data from nonempirical calculations that the proposed method makes it possible to evaluate the energy and geometry of hydrogen bonds in complexes and the activation barriers in proton-transfer reactions more accurately than do nonempirical calculations in the 4-31G basis.
