On the nature of non-covalent interactions in isomers of 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone dimers – ground- and excited-state properties

Abstract: The competition between non-covalent interactions (NCIs), such as C-H∙∙∙O, C-H∙∙∙Cl, C-Cl∙∙∙O, C-Cl∙∙∙Cl-C, C-O∙∙∙C, C-Cl∙∙∙C and C-O∙∙∙π, in the isomers of the 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (DCBQ) dimer were investigated by quantum chemical calculations to study the properties of the ground and excited states. All the interactions were identified through bond critical points (BCP) with an atoms in molecule (AIM) study. Isomer 1 (IH) and isomer 6 (IP) were surprisingly very stable, and the largest stabilizatio… Show more

“…Work over the years has shown that this bonding mechanism is not limited to the halogen family but extends as well to other atoms, some less electronegative than others . Depending upon the column of the periodic table to which the bridging atom belongs, these noncovalent bonds have been denoted as chalcogen (6A), pnicogen (5A), , and tetrel (4A) bonds.…”

“…This Coulombic attraction is supplemented by the transfer of charge from the neighboring molecule's lone electronp airs into the CÀX s*a ntibonding orbital under the rubric of polarization or induction energy.A dditional attraction arises by way of Londond ispersion forces. It is worthwhile to notet hat this bondingm echanism is not limited to halogen atoms, but has been observed for chalcogen, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] pnicogen, [12,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28] and tetrel [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] atoms in the eponymous bonds.…”
