Stabilities of the C-H...O bonded complexes of the haloforms HCClnF3-n (n = 0-3) with dimethyl ether, oxirane, and acetone: an experimental and theoretical study

J Phys Chem A. 2005 Nov 3;109(43):9836-43. doi: 10.1021/jp051476d.

Abstract

Complexation enthalpies of the complexes of the haloforms HCCl(n)F(3-)(n) (n = 0-3) with dimethyl ether, oxirane, and acetone have been determined in liquid krypton and/or liquid argon using infrared spectroscopy. The same quantities were derived starting from ab initio complexation energies, calculated at the MP2=FULL/aug-cc-VTZ level, and by correcting these energies for thermodynamic and solvent contributions. The two sets of data are compared and discussed.
