Methyl iodine (CHI) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl) are both important volatile precursors for atmospheric ozone destruction. CHI and CCl can act as halogen bond donors to form molecular complexes with atmospheric organic species, such as 2,5-dihydrofuran, tetrahydrofuran, and acetone. This study characterized the halogen bonds in the CHI and CCl complexes using matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. With the combination of vibrational frequencies in spectra and the calculated interaction energies, frequencies and atoms-in-molecules analyses, we confirmed the formation of halogen-bonded complexes. CHI as a halogen-bond donor is comparable or slightly weaker than CCl, and furans involving ether oxygens are better halogen acceptors than acetone. The results help to understand the possibilities of formation of atmospheric molecular complexes that may influence the atmospheric chemical activities and enhance the aerosol formation.
