Abstract
The MP2/6-311++G(d,p) calculations were performed on several hydrogen-bonded systems. Different complexes were taken into account to analyze various types of hydrogen bonds, possessing different types of proton donors and proton acceptors as well as characterized by the broad range of the interaction energy. The Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules is applied. The results of the hybrid variational-perturbational approach are discussed. The unique properties of hydrogen bonds, where π-electrons act as the proton acceptor (X-H···π), are analyzed, and these interactions are compared with the other types of hydrogen bonds, mainly with C-H···Y interactions. It is shown that for X-H···π systems the ellipticity at the bond critical point of the proton···acceptor interaction is much greater than for the other types of hydrogen bonds. However, both X-H···π and C-H···Y interactions are characterized by the dominance of the dispersive energy.
