We implemented this in order to reproduce a number of publications. It
is difficult to say that one is to be preferred over the other. If
something an energy-based criterium could be preferred, however
classical mechanics is not good enough to quantitatively describe the
details of hydrogen bonding anyway. Some interesting refs are:
@Article{Starr2000a,
author = {F. W. Starr and J. K. Nielsen and H. Eugene Stanley},
title = {Hydrogen-bond dynamics for the extended simple point
charge model of water},
journal = {Phys. Rev. E},
year = 2000,
volume = 62,
pages = {579-587}
}
@Article{Modig2003a,
author = {K. Modig and B. G. Pfrommer and B. Halle},
title = {Temperature-dependent hydrogen bond geometry in liquid water},
journal = {Phys. Rev. Lett.},
year = 2003,
volume = 90,
pages = 075502
}
@Article{Spoel2006b,
author = {D. van der Spoel and P. J. van Maaren and P. Larsson and
N. Timneanu},
title = {Thermodynamics of hydrogen bonding in hydrophilic and
hydrophobic media},
journal = {J. Phys. Chem. B},
