Hydrogen bonding involving the carbonate anion. (a) Carbonate `binding' by five guanidinium and four water hydrogen bonds, with estimated dissociation energies in kJ mol−1. (b) Observed correlation between hydrogen-bond energies and H⋯O contact distances; red points are from our experiment and the green line is from the work by Espinosa et al. (1998BB11).
