Abstract
The equilibrium structures, interaction energies and binding properties of ternary BrF(ClF) … AgX … BrF(ClF)(X = F, Cl, Br) complexes and the corresponding binary systems have been studied by DFT method at the X3LYP/aug-cc-pVQZ level. Cooperative effects are probed by analysing charge transfer, electronic properties and orbital interactions when F … Ag bond and X … Br (Cl) halogen bond coexist in the same complex. The results indicate that the X … Br (Cl) halogen bond has a greater enhancing effect than the F … Ag bond does, resulting in a shorter binding distances, larger interaction energies and greater electron densities for the ternary complexes than for the corresponding binary ones. In addition, the origins of both the F … Ag bond and X … Br (Cl) halogen bond have been deduced via energy decomposition.
