Abstract

AbstractThe weak hydrogen bonded systems H2CO ⃛HX (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) have been studied by means of ab initio MO method with pseudopotential approximation. The stabilization energies of these hydrogen bonds are 8.96, 4.12, 3.00, and 2.21 kcal/mol, respectively. The interaction eneraction energies are farther decomposed according to Morokuma's energy decomposing scheme. It is found that the title complexes are mainly electrostatic, although the contribution of charge transfer is also significant.
