Abstract

Abstract Neutron diffraction experiments with isotopic H/D substitution from liquid HCl, HBr and HI are comparatively discussed. The hydrogen-hydrogen and halide-hydrogen radial distribution functions suggest the presence of hydrogen bonding and marked orientational correlations only in the case of HCl. Little correlations are found for HI and HBr. An analysis of the molecular configurations compatible with the experimental data from HCl, generated via a Empirical Potential Monte Carlo Simulation, allows to discuss the extent of hydrogen bonding and electrostatic forces in this system.
