Project
An experimental and theoretical study into the competition between halogen bonding and hydrogen bonding.
Experimental data on the formation, the relative stability and the three dimensional structure of and the structural competition between C-I..X halogen and C-H..X hydrogen bonded complexes is obtained by infrared and Raman measurements of cryogenic solutions, i.e. solutions in liquid argon (88-128 K), krypton (119-169 K) and xenon (168-221 K), and of solid rare gas matrices. The research involves a systematic study of the complexes of the combined halogen/hydrogen donors CHF2I, CF3CFHI,
CF2HCF2I, (CF3)2CFHI, and trans-C2HF2I with typical O, N, S and P containing acceptor molecules.
