Halogen Bonds in Clathrate Cages: A Real Space Perspective

Abstract: In this paper we present real space analyses of the nature of the dihalogen-water cage interactions in the 5 and 5 6 clathrate cages containing chlorine and bromine, respectively. Our Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules and Interacting Quantum Atoms results provide strong indications that halogen bonding is present even though the lone pairs of water molecules are already engaged in hydrogen bonding interactions.

“…Fortunately, H-bond cooperativity is already important in small water clusters, where it has been extensively studied both experimentally and theoretically [25,26,63,147,156,[158][159][160][161][162][163][164][165]. These systems provide a simple way of testing the accuracy of DFT approximations in describing non-additivity, since very accurate benchmarks are readily available.…”

“…Eskandari et al, for example, discarded the formation of halogen bonding by fluorine [ 102 ]. In contrast, Madzhidov and coworkers found [ 103 ] that the interaction between different organoselenium molecules and diiodine indeed complies with the definition of a halogen bond, and Guevara-Vela et al shown that the dihalogen-water cage interactions in the 5 and 5 6 clathrate cages can be considered as halogen bonding [ 104 ].…”

“…The last‐mentioned circumstance has provided many useful insights about the energetic relationship among the constituents of a system. Indeed, the IQA procedure has been widely successful in the examination of a large variety of chemical problems such as intra‐ and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, the nature of halogen bonding or dihydrogen interactions, the character of chemical bonding in excited states, and the description of the metal–ligand interplay in coordination complexes . Additionally, the IQA analysis has been applied to study the role of water clusters in the production of acid rain, to examine nonclassical contributions in lone pair‐ and anion‐ π interactions, and lately to determine and quantify the spatial localization of the electronic correlation within a chemical bond or to shed light on the nature of chalcogenide bonds .…”
