Abstract
Hydrogen-bonding interaction is ubiquitous in nature and plays an essential role in a broad spectrum of physics, chemistry, biology, energy and material sciences. NQEs, in terms of zero-point fluctuation, could influence the H-bonding interactions and consequently the structure of H-bonded networks due to the anharmonic nature of the potential well. In this chapter, I will report the quantitative assessment of NQEs on the strength of a single H bond formed at a water-salt interface using the tip-enhanced IETS technique. Isotopic substitution experiments combined with state-of-the-arts quantum simulations reveal that the anharmonic quantum fluctuations of hydrogen nuclei weaken the weak hydrogen bonds and strengthen the strong ones. However, this trend can be completely reversed when the hydrogen bond is strongly coupled to the polar atomic sites of the surface.
