Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory analysis of the N center dot center dot center dot HX hydrogen bonds
The main aim of the study was the detailed investigation of the interaction energy decomposition in dimers and trimers containing N center dot center dot center dot HX bonds of different types. The study of angular dependence of interaction energy terms partitioned according to the symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) was performed for the dimers containing N center dot center dot center dot HX bonds as mentioned above: ammonia-HX (X = F, Cl, Br) and pyridine-HF complexes. It was found that the electrostatic and induction terms exhibit strong angular dependence, while the exchange contributions are less affected. The dispersion terms are virtually nondirectional. In addition, the three-body SAPT interaction energy analysis for the mixed acid-base NH3 center dot center dot center dot(HF)(2) and (NH3)(2)center dot center dot center dot HF trimers revealed strong differences between interactions of similar strength but different types (i.e., hydrogen bond and general electrostatic interaction). The importance of the induction terms for the nonadditivity of the interaction energy in strongly polar systems was confirmed.
