Abstract The geometric parameters and vibrational spectra between series of the carbonyl compound/water molecules are obtained through the common quantum chemical calculations to determine the quantitative relationship between the bond length of hydrogen-bond donor and its stretch vibration wavenumber. These exploratory results help students to understand effect of the basicity of the hydrogen-bond acceptor on the covalent bond length of the donor, its stretch vibration and the hydrogen-bond strength. We believe that introduction of this research-based teaching content into secondary school and university could be a good way to enable students to relate the concepts in chemistry, and enhance students' interests in learning chemistry and their ability to solve scientific problems.
