Abstract
Non-covalent hydrogen bond interactions between the π cloud of cycloalkenes and three atmospheric common nucleation precursors (H2S, H2O, and MeOH) have been investigated using DFT and CCSD(T). The structures and the energies of the 1:1 and 1:2 adducts were computed with the B3LYP-D3 method. The analysis of the investigated electronic properties and geometric parameters shows that cyclohexene is a stronger hydrogen bond acceptor than cyclopentene, then followed by 1,4-cyclohexadiene and 1,3-cyclohexadiene. Comparable red shifts of the OH-/SH-stretching vibrational frequencies were noticed for the studied clusters. Increasing the ring size enhances the hydrogen bond interaction, and increasing the π delocalization decreases the hydrogen bond interactions. This is further confirmed by Bader’s quantum theory of atoms in molecules. The nonadditivity effects were observed in the trimolecular complexes. All the complexes were analyzed by energy decomposition analysis to divide the interaction energy into individual components. Furthermore, the dipole moments and atmospheric implications were also investigated.
