[ 1 ] - Interplay Between Lithium Bonding and Halogen Bonding in F3CX•••YLi•••NCCN and F3CX•••NCCN•••LiY Complexes (X = Cl, Br; Y = CN, NC)

MP2 calculations with cc-pVTZ basis set were used to analyze intermolecular interactions in F3CX···YLi···NCCN and F3CX···NCCN···LiY triads (X = Cl, Br; Y = CN, NC) which are connected via halogen and lithium bonds. Those complexes with the role of LiY as halogen acceptor and lithium donor show cooperativity with energy values ranging between -1.97 and -2.92 kJ mol...
