I believe the IUPAC definition of a hydrogen bond does inc= lude those BH---HX, CH---X and other non-traditional hydrogen bonds.

I'm not sure if that can be classifiable as a hydrogen bond, because CHn groups have a much smaller dipole component than OH and NH groups.

Still, the determination is very simple to do if you use a geometric
criterion as in g_hbond and vmd. It should be pretty straightforward to
modify g_hbond to your needs.

Note that there are rather many geometric criteria also for the more
conventional OH..O hydrogen bonds, e.g. the criteria in references

M. Haughney, M. Ferrario and I. R. McDonald, J. Phys. Chem. 91 (1987), 4934= .

P. Wernet et al., Science 304 (2004), 995.

B. Chen and J. I. Siepmann, J. Phys. Chem. B 110 (2006), 3555.


out of which AFAIK the Haughney criterion is most often used.
