The hydrogen maleate ion was studied by ab initio methods with complete optimization at the 3-21G, 6-31G, 6-31G**, and 6-31+G(2d,1p) levels. To study the influence of electron correlation, MP2 calculations have been done for the 6-31G** geometry. All calculations at the HF level predicted an asymmetric hydrogen bond with a double minimum potential governing transfer between the two equivalent structures. Moreover, both asymmetry and proton transfer barrier increase systematically with the power of the basis set used, with calculated barrier heights of 0.12 (3-21G), 1.59 (6-31G), 1.64 (6-31G**), and 2.00 kcal/mol (6-31+G). Only the introduction of the electron correlation at the MP2 level seems to predict a single minimum potential.

A comparative ab initio study is performed to investigate the cooperativity between the N···H hydrogen bond and the N···Y interactions in XCN···HCN···YCN complexes, where X = H, F, and Y = H, Li, F, Cl, and Br. To understand the properties of the systems better, the corresponding dimers are also studied. It is found that the lithium bond has a larger influence on the hydrogen bond than vice versa. The shortening of the N···H distances in the trimers is dependent on the strength of the H···Y interactions and they become larger in the order lithium bond > hydrogen bond > halogen bond. The estimated values of cooperative energy Ecoop are all negative with much larger Ecoop in absolute value for the systems including lithium.
