Abstract
The five-membered heteroaromatic thiazole molecule contains a number of electron-rich regions that could attract an electrophile, namely the N and S lone pairs that lie in the molecular plane, and π-system areas above the plane. The possibility of each of these sites engaging in a tetrel bond (TB) with CF4 and SiF4, as well as geometries that encompass a CH⋯F H-bond, was explored via DFT calculations. There are a number of minima that occur in the pairing of thiazole with CF4 that are very close in energy, but these complexes are weakly bound by less than 2 kcal mol-1 and the presence of a true TB is questionable. The inclusion of zero-point vibrational energies alters the energetic ordering, which is further modified when entropic effects are added. The preferred geometry would thus be sensitive to the temperature of an experiment. Replacement of CF4 by SiF4 leaves intact most of the configurations, and their tight energetic clustering, the ordering of which is again altered as the temperature rises. But there is one exception in that by far the most tightly bound complex involves a strong Si⋯N TB between SiF4 and the lone pair of the thiazole N, with an interaction energy of 30 kcal mol-1. Even accounting for its high deformation energy and entropic considerations, this structure remains as clearly the most stable at any temperature.

Abstract
A quasi-atomic orbital analysis of the halogen bonded NH3⋯XF complexes (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) is performed to gain insight into the electronic properties associated with these σ-hole interactions. It is shown that significant sharing of electrons between the nitrogen lone pair of the ammonia molecule and the XF molecule occurs, resulting in a weakening of the X-F bond. In addition, the N-X bond shows increasing covalent character as the size of the halogen atom X increases. While the Mulliken outer complex NH3⋯XF appears to be overall the main species, the strength of the covalent interaction of the N-X bond becomes increasingly similar to that of the N-X bond in the [NH3X]+ cation as the size of X increases.

Abstract
![]()
Energies
of linear, halogen-bonded complexes in the isoelectronic
series YX···ClF (YX = FB, OC, or N2) are
calculated at several levels of theory as a function of the intermolecular
distance r(X···Cl) to yield radial
potential energy functions. When YX = OC, a secondary minimum is observed
corresponding to lengthened and shortened distances r(ClF) and r(CCl), respectively, relative to the
primary minimum, suggesting a significant contribution from the Mulliken
inner complex structure [O=C–Cl]+···F–. A conventional weak, halogen-bond complex OC···ClF
occurs at the primary minimum. For YX = FB, the primary minimum corresponds
to the inner complex [F=B–Cl]+···F–, while the outer complex FB···ClF is
at the secondary minimum. The effects on the potential energy function
of systematic substitution of Y and X by second-row congeners and
of reversing the order of X and Y are also investigated. Symmetry-adapted
perturbation theory and natural population analyses are applied to
further understand the nature of the various halogen-bond interactions.

Abstract
The radial potential energy is calculated ab initio at the explicitly correlated level of theory CCSD(T)(F12c)/cc-pVTZ-F12 for the five axially symmetric, halogen-bonded complexes B⋅⋅⋅ClF (B=N2 , CO, PH3 , HCN, and NH3 ) as a function of the intermolecular distance r. The PE curves are fitted by the Hulburt-Hirschfelder analytical function under the assumption of a pseudo-diatomic model. The spectroscopic constants ω σ and ω σ x σ , and α σ of the intermolecular stretching mode υ σ are calculated by two closely related approaches. The first involves derivatives of a polynomial fitted to the ab initio calculated points near to re and evaluated at r=re . The second uses the constants of the fitted H-H function. Both procedures are tested on 35 ClF by fitting (a) its RKR-type function and (b) the CCSD(T)(F12c)/cc-pVTZ-F12 version. The complexes OC⋅⋅⋅ClF and H3 P⋅⋅⋅ClF behave differently from the other three. A point of inflection/secondary minimum with a shortened r(C⋅⋅⋅Cl) and an increased r(Cl-F) detected for B=CO, suggests a second isomer with a significant contribution from the valence-bond structure OC+ Cl⋅⋅⋅F- . The shape of the ab initio calculated function for H3 P⋅⋅⋅ClF is different from those involving B=N2 , HCN, or NH3 , a difference attributed to H3 PCl+ ⋅⋅⋅F- character. The ab initio generated curve for H3 P⋅⋅⋅ClF is, nevertheless, satisfactorily fitted by the three-parameter H-H function.

Abstract
Equilibrium dissociation energies, De , of four series of halogen- and hydrogen-bonded complexes B⋅⋅⋅XCF3 (X=H, Cl, Br and I) are calculated ab initio at the CCSD(T)(F12c)/cc-pVDZ-F12 level. The Lewis bases B involved are N2 , CO, PH3 , C2 H2 , C2 H4 , H2 S, HCN, H2 O and NH3 . Plots of De versus NB , where the NB are the nucleophilicities assigned to the Lewis bases previously, are good straight lines through the origin, as are those for the corresponding set of complexes B⋅⋅⋅XCl. The gradients of the De versus NB plots define the electrophilicities EXCF3 and EXCl of the various Lewis acids. The determined values are: EXCF3 =2.58(22), 1.40(9), 2.15(2) and 3.04(9) for X=H, Cl, Br and I, respectively, and EXCl =4.48(22), 2.31(9), 4.37(27) and 6.06(37) for the same order of X. Thus, it is found that, for a given X, the ratio EXCl / EXCF3 is 2 within the assessed errors, and therefore appears to be independent of the atom X and of the type of non-covalent interaction (hydrogen bond or different varieties of halogen bond) in which it is involved. Consideration of the molecular electrostatic surface potentials shows that De and the maximum positive electrostatic potential σmax (the most electrophilic region of XCF3 and XCl, which lies on the symmetry axes of these molecules, near to the atom X) are strongly correlated.

Abstract
Dihalogens readily interact with trimethylamine-N-oxide under ambient conditions. Accordingly, herein, stable 1 : 1 adducts were obtained in the case of iodine chloride and iodine bromide. The crystal and molecular structure of the trimethylamine-N-oxide-iodine chloride adduct was solved. Furthermore, the geometry and electronic structure of the trimethylamine-N-oxide-dihalogen complexes were studied computationally. Only molecular ensembles were found in the global minimum for the 1 : 1 stoichiometry. The O⋯X-Y halogen bond is the main factor for the thermodynamic stability of these complexes. Arguments for electrostatic interactions as the driving force for this noncovalent interaction were discussed. Also, the equilibrium structures are additionally stabilised by weak C-H⋯X hydrogen bonds. Consequently, formally monodentate ligands are bound in a polycentric manner.

Abstract
A theoretical study of the hydrogen bond (HB) and halogen bond (XB) complexes between 1-halo-closo-carboranes and hydrogen cyanide (NCH) as HB and XB probe has been carried out at the MP2 computational level. The energy results show that the HB complexes are more stable than the XBs for the same system, with the exception of the isoenergetic iodine derivatives. The analysis of the electron density with the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) shows the presence of a unique intermolecular bond critical point with the typical features of weak noncovalent interactions (small values of the electron density and positive Laplacian and total energy density). The natural energy decomposition analysis (NEDA) of the complexes shows that the HB and XB complexes are dominated by the charge-transfer and polarization terms, respectively. The work has been complemented with a search in the CSD database of analogous complexes and the comparison of the results, with those of the 1-halobenzene:NCH complexes showing smaller binding energies and larger intermolecular distances as compared to the 1-halo-closo-carboranes:NCH complexes.

Abstract
Relativistic effects are found to be important for the estimation of NMR parameters in halogen-bonded complexes, mainly when they involve the heavier elements, iodine and astatine. A detailed study of 60 binary complexes formed between dihalogen molecules (XY with X, Y = F, Cl, Br, I and At) and four Lewis bases (NH3, H2O, PH3 and SH2) was carried out at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ/aug-cc-pVTZ-PP computational level to show the extent of these effects. The NMR parameters (shielding and nuclear quadrupolar coupling constants) were computed using the relativistic Hamiltonian ZORA and compared to the values obtained with a non-relativistic Hamiltonian. The results show a mixture of the importance of the relativistic corrections as both the size of the halogen atom and the proximity of this atom to the basic site of the Lewis base increase.

Abstract
A novel method for the accurate and efficient calculation of interaction energies in weakly bound complexes composed of a large number of molecules is presented. The new ALMO+RPAd method circumvents the prohibitive scaling of coupled cluster singles and doubles while still providing similar accuracy across a diverse range of weakly bound chemical systems. Linear-scaling procedures for the Fock build are given utilizing absolutely localized molecular orbitals (ALMOs), resulting in the a priori exclusion of basis set superposition errors. A bespoke data structure and algorithm using density fitting are described, leading to linear scaling for the storage and computation of the two-electron integrals. Electron correlation is included through a new, linear-scaling pairwise local random phase approximation approach, including exchange interactions, and decomposed into purely dispersive excitations (RPAxd). Collectively, these allow meaningful decomposition of the interaction energy into physically distinct contributions: electrostatic, polarization, charge transfer, and dispersion. Comparison with symmetry-adapted perturbation theory shows good qualitative agreement. Tests on various dimers and the S66 benchmark set demonstrate results within 0.5 kcal mol-1 of coupled cluster singles and doubles results. On a large cluster of water molecules, we achieve calculations involving over 3500 orbital and 12,000 auxiliary basis functions in under 10 min on a single CPU core.

Abstract
Equilibrium nuclear quadrupole coupling constants associated with the di-halogen molecule XY in each of 60 complexes BXY (where B is one of the Lewis bases N2, CO, HCN, H2O, H2S, HCCH, C2H4, PH3, NH3 or (CH3)3N and XY is one of the di-halogens Cl2, BrCl, Br2, ICl, IBr or I2) have been calculated ab initio. The Townes-Dailey model for interpreting the changes in the coupling constants when XY enters the complex was used to describe the electron redistribution in the di-halogen molecule in terms of the fraction δi of an electron transferred from the Lewis base B to atom X and the fraction δp of an electron transferred simultaneously from atom X to atom Y. Systematic relationships between the δi values for the six series are established. It is shown that, in reasonable approximation, δi decays exponentially as the first ionisation energy IB of the Lewis base B increases, that is δi = A exp(-bIB). It is concluded from the results for the series BBrCl, BBr2, BICl, BIBr and BI2 that the coefficients A and b in regression fits to the corresponding logarithmic version ln(δi) = ln(A) -b(IB) of the equation are not strongly dependent on either the halogen atom X directly involved in the halogen bond in BXY or, for a given X, on the nature of Y. The behaviour of PH3 as a Lewis base appears to be anomalous. Values of δi and δp calculated by the quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules and natural bond orbital methodologies are very close to those from application of the Townes-Dailey approach described.

Abstract
We employ a variety of natural bond orbital (NBO) and natural resonance theory (NRT) tools to comprehensively investigate the nature of halogen and pnicogen bonding interactions in RPH2···IF/FI binary complexes (R = CH3, OH, CF3, CN, and NO2) and the tuning effects of R-substituents. Though such interactions are commonly attributed to “sigma-hole”-type electrostatic effects, we show that they exhibit profound similarities and analogies to the resonance-type 3-center, 4-electron (3c/4e) donor-acceptor interactions of hydrogen bonding, where classical-type “electrostatics” are known to play only a secondary modulating role. The general 3c/4e resonance perspective corresponds to a continuous range of interatomic A···B bond orders (bAB), spanning both the stronger “covalent” interactions of the molecular domain (say, bAB ≥ ½) and the weaker interactions (bAB ˂ ½, often misleadingly termed “noncovalent”) that underlie supramolecular complexation phenomena. We show how a unified NBO/NRT-based description of hydrogen, halogen, pnicogen, and related bonding yields an improved predictive utility and intuitive understanding of empirical trends in binding energies, structural geometry, and other measurable properties that are expected to be manifested in all such supramolecular interaction phenomena.

Abstract
Halogen bonds are prevalent in many areas of chemistry, physics, and biology. We present a statistical model for the interaction energies of halogen-bonded systems at equilibrium based on high-accuracy ab initio benchmark calculations for a range of complexes. Remarkably, the resulting model requires only two fitted parameters, X and B—one for each molecule—and optionally the equilibrium separation, R e , between them, taking the simple form E = X B / R e n . For n = 4 , it gives negligible root-mean-squared deviations of 0.14 and 0.28 kcal mol - 1 over separate fitting and validation data sets of 60 and 74 systems, respectively. The simple model is shown to outperform some of the best density functionals for non-covalent interactions, once parameters are available, at essentially zero computational cost. Additionally, we demonstrate how it can be transferred to completely new, much larger complexes and still achieve accuracy within 0.5 kcal mol - 1 . Using a principal component analysis and symmetry-adapted perturbation theory, we further show how the model can be used to predict the physical nature of a halogen bond, providing an efficient way to gain insight into the behavior of halogen-bonded systems. This means that the model can be used to highlight cases where induction or dispersion significantly affect the underlying nature of the interaction.

Abstract
Intermolecular interaction of XH2P···MY (X = H, CH3, F, CN, NO2; M = Cu, Ag, Au; Y = F, Cl, Br, I) complexes was investigated by means of an ab initio method. The molecular interaction energies are in the order Ag < Cu < Au and increased with the decrease of RP···M. Interaction energies are strengthened when electron-donating substituents X connected to XH2P, while electron-withdrawing substituents produce the opposite effect. The strongest P···M bond was found in CH3H2P···AuF with -70.95 kcal/mol, while the weakest one was found in NO2H2P···AgI with -20.45 kcal/mol. The three-center/four-electron (3c/4e) resonance-type of P:-M-:Y hyperbond was recognized by the natural resonance theory and the natural bond orbital analysis. The competition of P:M-Y ↔ P-M:Y resonance structures mainly arises from hyperconjugation interactions; the bond order of bP-M and bM-Y is in line with the conservation of the idealized relationship bP-M + bM-Y ≈ 1. In all MF-containing complexes, P-M:F resonance accounted for a larger proportion which leads to the covalent characters for partial ionicity of MF. The interaction energies of these Cu/Ag/Au complexes are basically above the characteristic values of the halogen-bond complexes and close to the observed strong hydrogen bonds in ionic hydrogen-bonded species.

Abstract
A computational study was undertaken for the model complexes H2 X…YF and (CH3 )2 X…YF (X=O, S, Se; Y=F, Cl, H), and H3 X'…YF and (CH3 )3 X'…YF (X'=N, P, As), at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. For H2 X…YF and H3 X'…YF, noncovalent interactions dominate the binding in order of increasing YF dipole moment, except for H3 As…F2 , and possibly H3 As…ClF. However, for the methyl-substituted complexes (CH3 )2 X…YF and (CH3 )3 X'…YF the binding is especially strong for the complexes containing F2 , implying significant chemical bonding between the interacting molecules. The relative stability of these complexes can be rationalized by the difference in the electronegativity of the X or X' and Y atoms.

Nucleophilicities of Lewis Bases B and Electrophilicities of Lewis Acids A Determined from the Dissociation Energies of Complexes B⋯A Involving Hydrogen Bonds, Tetrel Bonds, Pnictogen Bonds, Chalcogen Bonds and Halogen Bonds. Molecules 2017; 22:E1786. [PMID: 29065546 PMCID: PMC6151704 DOI: 10.3390/molecules22101786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2017] [Revised: 10/17/2017] [Accepted: 10/19/2017] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
It is shown that the dissociation energy D e for the process B⋯A = B + A for 250 complexes B⋯A composed of 11 Lewis bases B (N₂, CO, HC≡CH, CH₂=CH₂, C₃H₆, PH₃, H₂S, HCN, H₂O, H₂CO and NH₃) and 23 Lewis acids (HF, HCl, HBr, HC≡CH, HCN, H₂O, F₂, Cl₂, Br₂, ClF, BrCl, H₃SiF, H₃GeF, F₂CO, CO₂, N₂O, NO₂F, PH₂F, AsH₂F, SO₂, SeO₂, SF₂, and SeF₂) can be represented to good approximation by means of the equation D e = c ' N B E A , in which N B is a numerical nucleophilicity assigned to B, E A is a numerical electrophilicity assigned to A, and c ' is a constant, conveniently chosen to have the value 1.00 kJ mol-1 here. The 250 complexes were chosen to cover a wide range of non-covalent interaction types, namely: (1) the hydrogen bond; (2) the halogen bond; (3) the tetrel bond; (4) the pnictogen bond; and (5) the chalcogen bond. Since there is no evidence that one group of non-covalent interaction was fitted any better than the others, it appears the equation is equally valid for all the interactions considered and that the values of N B and E A so determined define properties of the individual molecules. The values of N B and E A can be used to predict the dissociation energies of a wide range of binary complexes B⋯A with reasonable accuracy.
