Can the positive aromatic ring be as π-electron donor in π-halogen bond? A MP2 theoretical investigation on the unusual π-halogen bond interaction between three-membered ring $$ \left( {\hbox{BNN}} \right)_3^{+} $$ and X1X2 (X1, X2 = F, Cl, Br)

Abstract: The unusual π-halogen bond interactions are investigated between (BNN)₃⁺ and X1X2 (X1, X2 = F, Cl, Br) employing MP2 at 6-311 + G(2d) and aug-cc-pVDZ levels according to the "CP (counterpoise) corrected potential energy surface (PES)" method. The order of the π-halogen bond interactions and stabilities of the complexes are obtained to be (BNN)₃⁺... F₂ < (BNN)₃⁺... ClF < (BNN)₃⁺... Cl₂ < (BNN)₃⁺... BrCl < (BNN)₃⁺... Br₂ < (BNN)₃⁺ ... BrF. at MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level. The analyses of the Mulliken charge transfer, n… Show more

“…Even less common are XB interactions between non-carbon-based aromatic π-systems and halogen atoms. Qi et al studied the interactions between the electron-deficient positive aromatic three-membered ring (BNN) 3+ and dihalogen molecules XY employing MP2 calculations based on the 6-311+ G­(2d) and aug-cc-pVDZ basis sets and found the calculated binding energies followed the expected trends in the dipole moment of the dihalogen, the polarizability of X, and the electron-withdrawing strength of Y . All-metal aromatic species such as Al 4 2– , initially described by Li et al, were also able to establish a π–XB interaction with halohydrocarbons (XCH 3 , XCH 2 CH 3 , XCHCH 2 , and XCCH, with X = Cl, Br, I) .…”
