title: Theoretical investigation of the dihydrogen bond linking MH2 with HCCRgF (M = Zn, Cd; Rg = Ar, Kr).
abstract: An ab initio computational study of the properties of four linear dihydrogen-bonded complexes pairing MH2 (M = Zn, Cd) with HCCRgF (Rg = Ar, Kr) was undertaken at the MP2/DGDZVP level of theory. The calculated complexation energies of the linear complexes vary between 6.5 kJ/mol for M = Zn to 8.5 kJ/mol for M = Cd. Equilibrium interatomic H...H distances are roughly 2.07 A for all four complexes. The red shifts of the H-C stretching frequency of HCCRgF correlate nicely with the interaction energies.
