Total electron densities of the crystal (left) and model (right) structures. Contours are drawn at the isocharge 0.003 a.u. level. In the model structure (right), the water molecule is rotated 90 deg., and electron cloud is disconneted. This means that the orientation of water-hydrogen is very important for hydrogen bond. Differencial energy between both models is -5.2 x 10^-3 hartrees or -3.26 kcal/mol (1 hartrees = 627.5 kcal/mol).
