Ab initio calculations of the hydrogen bond

چکیده
Recent x-ray Compton scattering experiments in ice have provided useful information about the quantum nature of the interaction between H2O monomers. The hydrogen bond is characterized by a certain amount of charge transfer which could be determined in a Compton experiment. We use ab initio simulations to investigate the hydrogen bond in H2O structures by calculating the Compton profile and related quantities in three different systems, namely, the water dimer, a cluster containing 12 water molecules, and the ice crystal. We show how to extract estimates of the charge transfer from the Compton profiles.

In this paper, ab initio calculations were performed on the ternary complex formed by HB(CO)2, XCN (X = Cl, Br) and YF (Y = Li, H, Cl). In these complexes boron act as a non-classical electron donor to form a unconventional halogen bond. The cooperative effect between the B•••X halogen bond and lithium/hydrogen/halogen bond was investigated. The calculated results show that the B•••X and N•••Y ...

The character of the intermolecular interactions in Cl2-HX (X =F, Cl and Br) complexes has been investigated by means of the second-order Möller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results show that there are two types of lowest interaction potential equilibrium structures in the interactions between Cl2 and HX: X∙∙∙Cl type geometry and hy...
