Ab initio MP2/aug′-cc-pVTZ calculations have been carried out in search of equilibrium dimers on (XCP) 2 potential energy surfaces, for X = CN, Cl, F, and H. Five equilibrium dimers with D ∞h , C ∞v , C s , C 2h , and C 2 symmetries exist on the (ClCP) 2 potential energy surface, four on the (FCP) 2 and (HCP) 2 surfaces, and three on the (NCCP) 2 surface. These dimers are stabilized by traditional halogen, pnicogen, and tetrel bonds, and one of them by a hydrogen bond. The binding energies of the dimers (XCP) 2 vary from 3.0 to 22.0 kJ•mol −1 , with the strongest and weakest bonds found for complexes on the (NCCP) 2 surface. The binding energies of the linear D ∞h and C ∞v dimers on each surface differ by no more than 1.0 kJ•mol −1 , except for (NCCP) 2 , which has D ∞h and C ∞v complexes with binding energies of 3.0 and 11.0 kJ•mol −1 , respectively. The highly symmetric complexes with D ∞h and C ∞v symmetry are found on all surfaces and are the most weakly bound complexes on each surface. The structures of these dimers, the nature and strengths of charge-transfer interactions, the molecular graphs, and the molecular electrostatic potentials are useful for determining the type of intermolecular bond that stabilizes the dimers. EOM-CCSD spin−spin coupling constants 1p J(P−P) for complexes with P•••P pnicogen bonds and D ∞h symmetry are the largest coupling constants, ranging from 119 to 170 Hz. These increase with decreasing distance and follow a second-order trendline. The nature of the spin−spin coupling constants of these complexes is consistent with the type of noncovalent bond that stabilizes the dimers.

The highly labile complexes between phosphaethyne (HCP) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) with 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometries have been generated in Ar and N 2 matrices at 10 K through laser photolysis of the molecular precursors 1-chlorophosphaethene (CH 2 PCl) and dichloromethylphosphine (CH 3 PCl 2 ), respectively. The IR spectrum of the 1:1 complex suggests the preference of a single "T-shaped" structure in which HCl acts as the hydrogen donor that interacts with the electron-rich C�P triple bond. In contrast, three isomeric structures for the 1:2 complex bearing a core structure of the "T-shaped" 1:1 complex are present in the matrix. The spectroscopic identification of these rare HCP πelectron complexes is supported by D-isotope labeling and the quantum chemical calculations at the CCSD(T)-F12a/cc-pVTZ-F12 level of theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
