It is well known that an acidic hydrogen atom can form hydrogen bonds to a hydrogen bond acceptor, a Lewis base. It is considerably less known that the proton can coordinate two or more atoms conveniently in bonding modes that cannot be described as hydrogen bonding. Agostic interactions, bridging hydrides, 3-centre–2-electron bonds in boranes, bifurcated hydrogen atoms, they are all elements of the coordination chemistry of the proton and, of course, the hydrogen bond comes in more than one facette as well.
