title: DFT calculations on the cyclic ethers hydrogen-bonded complexes: molecular parameters and the non-linearity of the hydrogen bond.
abstract: B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) calculations were used to explore the geometry, intermolecular energy and the vibrational harmonic spectrum of heterocyclic complexes formed between 2,5-dihydrofuran and thiophene cyclic ethers and the HCl and HF acids. The simulated structures of these hydrogen complexes are discussed in terms of the linearity deviation of the n...HX hydrogen bond. Theoretical results are satisfactory as compared to the experimental equilibrium structure. The energies of the hydrogen bonds were determinate through the difference between the complex and its correspondent isolated monomers. Moreover, to obtain the correct energies of the hydrogen bonds, it was included the values of the zero point vibrational energy and the basis set superposition error. The infrared spectra reveal the direct relationship between the distance of the hydrogen bond and its stretching frequencies, as well as a good interpretation of the bathochromic effect of the HCl and HF stretching modes from intermolecular charge transfer.
