چکیده
In the present study we have characterized the halogen bonding in selected molecules H3N-ICF3 (1-NH 3 ), (PH3)2C-ICF3 (1-CPH 3 ), C3H7Br-(IN2H2C3)2C6H4 (2-Br), H2-(IN2H2C3)2C6H4 (2-H 2 ) and Cl-(IC6F5)2C7H10N2O5 (3-Cl), containing from one halogen bond (1-NH 3 , 1-CPH 3 ) up to four connections in 3-Cl (the two Cl-HN and two Cl-I), based on recently proposed ETS-NOCV analysis. It was found based on the NOCV-deformation density components that the halogen bonding C-X (…) B (X-halogen atom, B-Lewis base), contains a large degree of covalent contribution (the charge transfer to X (…) B inter-atomic region) supported further by the electron donation from base atom B to the empty σ*(C-X) orbital. Such charge transfers can be of similar importance compared to the electrostatic stabilization. Further, the covalent part of halogen bonding is due to the presence of σ-hole at outer part of halogen atom (X). ETS-NOCV approach allowed to visualize formation of the σ-hole at iodine atom of CF3I molecule. It has also been demonstrated that strongly electrophilic halogen bond donor, [C6H4(C3H2N2I)2][OTf]2, can activate chemically inert isopropyl bromide (2-Br) moiety via formation of Br-I bonding and bind the hydrogen molecule (2-H 2 ). Finally, ETS-NOCV analysis performed for 3-Cl leads to the conclusion that, in terms of the orbital-interaction component, the strength of halogen (Cl-I) bond is roughly three times more important than the hydrogen bonding (Cl-HN).

متن کاملTheoretical description of hydrogen bonding in oxalic acid dimer and trimer based on the combined extended-transition-state energy decomposition analysis and natural orbitals for chemical valence (ETS-NOCV)
In the present study we have analyzed hydrogen bonding in dimer and trimer of oxalic acid, based on a recently proposed charge and energy decomposition scheme (ETS-NOCV). In the case of a dimer, two conformations, α and β, were considered. The deformation density contributions originating from NOCV's revealed that the formation of hydrogen bonding is associated with the electronic charge deform...
