Abstract
The propensity of the π-electron system lying above a polycyclic aromatic system to engage in a halogen bond is examined by DFT calculations. Prototype Lewis acid CF3I is placed above the planes of benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, naphthacene, chrysene, triphenyl, pyrene, and coronene. The I atom positions itself some 3.3-3.4 Å above the polycyclic plane, and the associated interaction energy is about 4 kcal/mol. This quantity is a little smaller for benzene, but is roughly equal for the larger polycyclics. The energy only oscillates a little as the Lewis acid slides across the face of the polycyclic, preferring regions of higher π-electron density over minima of the electrostatic potential. The binding is dominated by dispersion which contributes half of the total interaction energy.

Classification of So-Called Non-Covalent Interactions Based on VSEPR Model. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26164939. [PMID: 34443526 PMCID: PMC8399763 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26164939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2021] [Revised: 08/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The variety of interactions have been analyzed in numerous studies. They are often compared with the hydrogen bond that is crucial in numerous chemical and biological processes. One can mention such interactions as the halogen bond, pnicogen bond, and others that may be classified as σ-hole bonds. However, not only σ-holes may act as Lewis acid centers. Numerous species are characterized by the occurrence of π-holes, which also may play a role of the electron acceptor. The situation is complicated since numerous interactions, such as the pnicogen bond or the chalcogen bond, for example, may be classified as a σ-hole bond or π-hole bond; it ultimately depends on the configuration at the Lewis acid centre. The disadvantage of classifications of interactions is also connected with their names, derived from the names of groups such as halogen and tetrel bonds or from single elements such as hydrogen and carbon bonds. The chaos is aggravated by the properties of elements. For example, a hydrogen atom can act as the Lewis acid or as the Lewis base site if it is positively or negatively charged, respectively. Hence names of the corresponding interactions occur in literature, namely hydrogen bonds and hydride bonds. There are other numerous disadvantages connected with classifications and names of interactions; these are discussed in this study. Several studies show that the majority of interactions are ruled by the same mechanisms related to the electron charge shifts, and that the occurrence of numerous interactions leads to specific changes in geometries of interacting species. These changes follow the rules of the valence-shell electron-pair repulsion model (VSEPR). That is why the simple classification of interactions based on VSEPR is proposed here. This classification is still open since numerous processes and interactions not discussed in this study may be included within it.

Abstract
The formation of molecular hydrogen as well as the possibility of using coinage metal hydrides as a prospective complex to produce hydrogen was presented in this work. Therefore, the reactions involving the interaction between two coinage metal hydrides, MH (M=Cu, Ag and Au, homo and heterodimers), were studied. The free energy profiles corresponding to aforementioned complexation were analysed by means of ab initio methods of quantum chemistry. The characteristics of these intermediates, final complexes and the electron density properties of the established interactions were discussed.

Abstract
A theoretical study of the complexes formed by Ag2 and Cu2 with different molecules, XH (FH, ClH, OH2 , SH2 , HCN, HNC, HCCH, NH3 and PH3 ) that can act as hydrogen-bond donors (Lewis acids) or regium-bond acceptors (Lewis bases) was carried out at the CCSD(T)/CBS computational level. The heteronuclear diatomic coinage molecules (AuAg, AuCu, and AgCu) have also been considered. With the exception of some of the hydrogen-bonded complexes with FH, the regium-bonded binary complexes are more stable. The AuAg and AuCu molecules show large dipole moments that weaken the regium bond (RB) with Au and favour those through the Ag and Cu atoms, respectively.

Abstract
The fundamental underpinnings of noncovalent bonds are presented, focusing on the σ-hole interactions that are closely related to the H-bond. Different means of assessing their strength and the factors that control it are discussed. The establishment of a noncovalent bond is monitored as the two subunits are brought together, allowing the electrostatic, charge redistribution, and other effects to slowly take hold. Methods are discussed that permit prediction as to which site an approaching nucleophile will be drawn, and the maximum number of bonds around a central atom in its normal or hypervalent states is assessed. The manner in which a pair of anions can be held together despite an overall Coulombic repulsion is explained. The possibility that first-row atoms can participate in such bonds is discussed, along with the introduction of a tetrel analog of the dihydrogen bond.

Abstract
Various Lewis acid-Lewis base interactions are discussed as initiating chemical reactions and processes. For example, the hydrogen bond is often a preliminary stage of the proton transfer process or the tetrel and pnicogen bonds lead sometimes to the SN2 reactions. There are numerous characteristics of interactions being first stages of reactions; one can observe a meaningful electron charge transfer from the Lewis base unit to the Lewis acid; such interactions possess at least partly covalent character, one can mention other features. The results of different methods and approaches that are applied in numerous studies to describe the character of interactions are presented here. These are, for example, the results of the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules, of the decomposition of the energy of interaction or of the structure-correlation method.

Abstract
The second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory calculations with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set were performed for complexes of molecular hydrogen. These complexes are connected by various types of interactions, the hydrogen bonds and halogen bonds are most often represented in the sample of species analysed; most interactions can be classified as σ-hole and π-hole bonds. Different theoretical approaches were applied to describe these interactions: Quantum Theory of ‘Atoms in Molecules’, Natural Bond Orbital method, or the decomposition of the energy of interaction. The energetic, geometrical, and topological parameters are analysed and spectroscopic properties are discussed. The stretching frequency of the H-H bond of molecular hydrogen involved in intermolecular interactions is considered as a parameter expressing the strength of interaction.

Molecular electrostatic potentials (MESP) for optimized B4X6 systems, optimized geometries, and binding energies are reported for all B4X6:nH2 (n = 1–4) complexes. All B4X6:nH2 (n = 1–4) complexes show attractive patterns, with B4O6:nH2 systems showing remarkable behavior with larger binding energies and smaller B···H2 distances as compared to the other structures with different X.

Abstract
The most stable geometries of the coinage metal (or regium) atom (Cu, Ag, Au) clusters Mn for n up to 6 are all planar, and adopt the lowest possible spin multiplicity. Clusters with even numbers of M atoms are thus singlets, while those with odd n are open-shell doublets. Examination of the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) of each cluster provides strong indications of the most likely site of attack by an approaching nucleophile, generally one of two positions. A nucleophile (NH3 or HCN) most favorably approaches one particular M atom of each cluster, rather than a bond midpoint or face. In the closed-shell clusters, the interaction energies are highly dependent upon the intensity of the MEP, but this correlation fades for the open-shell systems studied in this work. The strength of the interaction is also closely related to the basicity of the nucleophile. Regium bond energies can be more than 30 kcal mol-1 and tend to follow the Au > Cu > Ag order. These interaction energies are in large part derived from Coulombic attraction, with a smaller orbital interaction contribution.

Abstract
The ability of metal clusters involving elements from group 11 (Ag, Cu, Au) to favorably interact with π systems of different size and electronic nature was evaluated at the PBE0-D3/def2-TZVPP//PBE0-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory. The M9 clusters (M=Cu, Ag, Au) were used as σ-hole and σ-lump donors, and benzene, trifluorobenzene, and hexafluorobenzene as aromatic rings. In addition, the study was expanded to the analysis of extended π systems by using naphthalene and anthracene as well as their corresponding perfluorinated derivatives. Furthermore, Bader's theory of Atoms in Molecules as well as natural bonding orbital and spin-density calculations were used to further investigate and characterize the regium-π and σ-lump complexes described herein. Apparently, regium-π bonds have not previously been described in the literature and may be of great importance in the understanding of organocatalytic processes involving aromatic substrates as well as in the design of new materials based on this novel subclass of σ-hole bonding.

The largely electrostatic interaction is influenced by relativistic effects which, however, do not increase the binding energy. Very weak Au⋅⋅⋅H associations-exhibiting a corresponding bond path-occur between neutral AuH and HF units, although ultimately F becomes the preferred donor atom in the most stable structure. Increasing the hydridicity of AuH by attachment of an electron donating NHC ligand effects Au-H⋅⋅⋅H bonding of moderate strength only with HF, whereas competing Au⋅⋅⋅H interactions dominate for H2 O and NH3 . Rare η2 coordinated and HX (X=F or OH) associated H2 complexes are produced during interaction with a single ion of stronger acidity, H2 F+ or H3 O+ . Theoretically, reaction of excess [AuH2 ]- as proton acceptor with H3 O+ or NH4+ in 3:1 or 4:1 ionic ratios, respectively, affords H⋅⋅⋅H bonded analogues of Eigen-type adducts. Outstanding analytical relationships between selected bonding parameters support the integrity of the results.
