[ 1 ] - Ab Initio Studies on the Interplay between Unconventional B•••X Halogen Bond and Lithium/Hydrogen/Halogen Bond in HB(CO)2•••XCN•••YF (X = Cl, Br; Y = Li, H, Cl) Complexes

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 ...
