Abstract

Interaction energies, geometry and vibrational frequencies of the gas-phase HF-dimethyl ether complex were obtained using quantum-chemical methods. Equilibrium and vibrationally averaged geometries, harmonic and anharmonic wavenumbers of the complex were calculated using second-order perturbation theory procedures with B3LYP, B2PLYP-D and MP2 methods with 6-311++G(2df, 2pd) basis set. Quantum-mechanical model describing anharmonic-type vibrational couplings within hydrogen bond was used to explain broadening, fine structure and temperature dependence of the FH stretching IR absorption bands as effect of hydrogen bond formation. Simulations of the rovibrational structure of the FH stretching bands were performed for different temperatures. The results were compared with experimental spectra.
