Abstract

Complexes between para-substituted pyridine and SeH2 have been investigated at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level. Various electron donating and withdrawing substituents (-NH2, -OH, -CH3, -H, -F, -Cl, -CN, and -NO2) are chosen in order to characterize their influence on Se-H⋯N intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction. The electron donating substituents lead to an increase of the stabilization energy along with elongation in the Se-H bond length and red-shift in Se-H stretching frequency. Conventional electronic substitution effect has been observed on various hydrogen-bond parameters, such as, stabilization energy, change in Se-H bond length and stretching frequency, charge transfer, bond order, electron density at hydrogen-bond critical point.
