(Received 13 July 1987; accepted 28 July 1988)

Accurate local density‐functional calculations of the electron density distribution in the H2O dimer are performed and, in order to distinguish intramolecular charge shifts from intermolecular charge transfer, analyzed in terms of an expansion in atom‐centered multipole moments. The dependence on basis set and basis set superposition error of the electron density redistribution upon forming the hydrogen bonded complex has been examined. A model study reveals that only strong hydrogen bonds induce electron density redistributions large enough to be observable by means of x‐ray diffraction.
