Not to my knowledge.

Explanation:

"Hydrogen bonding" is an intermolecular bonding phenomenon that occurs when hydrogen is bound to a strongly electronegative element such as oxygen or fluorine or nitrogen. The heteroatom polarizes electron density away from the bond, giving a slightly positive charge to H, and a slightly negative charge to the heteratom, e.g. ""^(delta+)H-F^(delta-).

In bulk solution, these dipoles line up and constitute a net intermolecular force. The elevated boiling points of water, and hydrogen fluoride are attributed to this intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Ammonia also has an elevated boiling point for this reason.
