运用量子化学从头算方法, 在MP2/6-311++G(d,p), MP2/6-311++G(2df,2p), MP2/6-311++G(3df,3pd)和QCISD/6-311++G(d,p)水平上, 研究了CH3F, CH3Cl和CH3Br作为质子给体与Cl-, Br-作为质子接受体形成的氢键CH3…Y. 计算结果表明: 6种复合物中C—H键收缩, 伸缩振动频率增大, 形成蓝移氢键. 分子中原子(Atoms in Molecules, AIM)分析表明, 这些复合物的电子密度拓扑性质与普通氢键有着本质的不同, 在Y…H之间不存在键临界点, 而在Y与C之间存在键临界点, 因此这些相互作用严格地不能称为氢键. 自然键轨道(Natural bond orbital, NBO)分析表明, 在这些复合物中弯曲的CH…Y的特殊结构使得分子间超共轭n(Y)®σ*(C—H)减小到可以忽略; 质子接受体的电子密度没有转移到σ*(C—H)上, 而是转移到了σ*(C—X) (X=F, Cl, Br)上; 存在一定程度的重杂化; 分子内超共轭相互作用减小使得σ*(C—H)的电子密度减少. 这些因素共同导致C—H伸缩振动频率的蓝移.

Ab initio quantum mechanics methods were applied to investigate the CH3…Y bend hydrogen bonds in the complexes Cl-…CH3F, Cl-…CH3Cl, Cl-…CH3Br, Br-…CH3F, Br-…CH3Cl and Br-…CH3Br. The MP2 level of theory with the four basis sets 6-311++G(d,p), 6-311++G(2df,2p), 6-311++G(3df,3pd) and QCISD/6-311++G(d,p) and the standard gradient technique were used to optimize the geometries and analyze vibrational frequencies. The results show that there are three C—H…Y (Y=Cl-, Br-) hydrogen bonds in each of the six complexes, and the C—H bond contracts with a concomitant blue shift of the corresponding stretching frequency. The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis shows that four factors lead to the formation of these blue-shifted H-bonds: (a) intermolecular hyperconjugation in a bend H-bond configuration is very small and can be neglected; (b) there exists rehybridization; (c) the electron density in the Cl- or Br- lone pair is transferred not to σ*(C—H) but to the σ*(C—X) (X=F, Cl, Br) antibonding orbital; (d) decrease of intramolecular hyperconjugation leads to decrease of occupancy in σ*(C—H). The analysis using the theory of atoms in molecules (AIM) shows that the topological properties of electron density for these trifurcated bent H-bonds have essential differences from those of usual H-bonds, where the bond critical point is not between H and Y, but between C and Y.
