Competition between hydrogen and dihydrogen bonding: interaction of B2H6 with CH3OH and CHnX3−nOH derivatives

Abstract

Ab initio calculations were used to analyze the interactions between a molecule of B2H6 with CH3OH and CHnX3−nOH (X = F, Cl and n = 0,1,2) derivatives at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) computational level. Interaction of B2H6 with CH3OH occurs through its bridged protons to form a hydrogen bond cluster. On the other hand, CHnX3−nOH molecules interact with B2H6 by a Ht⋯H dihydrogen bond along with a weak Hb⋯X interaction. The structures obtained have been analyzed with the atoms in molecules (AIMs) methodology. AIM calculations indicate van der Waal's interactions of X with Hb of B2H6. The stability of the clusters depends on the type and number of X derivatives.
