A computational study of the dihydrogen bonded complexes HBeH ... HArF and HBeH ... HKrF.
We report an ab initio computational study of the properties of two linear dihydrogen-bonded complexes of HBeH with the recently discovered rare gas compounds HArF and HKrF at the MP2(full)/6-311++G(2d,2p) level of theory. The HBeH ... HArF and HBeH ... HKrF complexes were found to have zero-point energy corrected binding energies of 27 and 12 kJ mol(-1), respectively. Large red shifts of the H-Rg vibrational stretching frequency in both complexes were also predicted. The electron density rearrangement of the rare gas compounds on complexation was also examined. We also consider the relative stabilities of D-containing isotopomers of the complexes by comparison of their computed zero-point vibrational energies.
