Abstract

We have found weak C-H...S and C-H...N hydrogen bonds in crystal structures of 1,3-thiazolidine derivatives, which we investigated both experimentally as well as theoretically [1, 2]. To get deeper insight into the nature of such interactions, we performed additional studies on simple modeling complexes [3]. Molecules of CH4, C2H4 and C2H2 were selected as proton donors and NH3 and H2S molecules were selected as acceptors. We carried out ab initio calculations (SCF, MP2) using different basis set, up to MP2/aug-cc-pVQZ//MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of approximation. We used MP2/6-311++G(d,p) and MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ wave functions in order to find and to characterize BCPs in terms of electron densities and their Laplacians. The Bader Theory [4] was applied for such analysis.

The aim of this work was the investigation of the complexes of fluorine derivatives of previously cited methane, ethene and acetylene with the ammonia and hydrogen sulfide molecules.

We were wonder if the same tendencies as before are in force here, i.e. if the hybridization effect is also observed [3, 6] and if similarly as for C(sp3)-H...O interactions the blue-shifting H-bonds are observed for C(sp3)-H...Y (Y=N, S) [5, 6].

However in same cases formation of N-H...F and S-H...F interactions occurs and it is of interest whether thay can affect the strength or geometrical parameters of earlier discussed C-H...N and C-H...S hydrogen bonds.
