Abstract
The structure and stability of noble gas (Ng) bound [NHCM]+ complexes (M = Cu, Ag, and Au) were investigated using Quantum chemical calculations. Dissociation energies, enthalpy, and free energy changes were computed to comprehend the stability of these Ng-bonded complexes. The nature of interactions associated to the bonding between metal and noble gas atoms was studied through the computation of electron density-based descriptors. Detailed electronic structure study revealed electron donation from the noble gas atoms towards the metal center, resulting in the formation of dative bonds.
