Complexes of HXeY with HX (Y, X = F, Cl, Br, I) : Symmetry-Adapted Perturbation Theory Study and Anharmonic Vibrational Analysis

A comprehensive analysis of the intermolecular interaction energy and anharmonic vibrations of 41 structures of the HXeY· · · HX (X, Y = F, Cl, Br, I) family of noble-gas-compound complexes for all possible combinations of Y and X was conducted. New structures were identified, and their interaction energies were studied by means of symmetry-adapted perturbation theory, up to secondorder corrections: this provided insight into the physical nature of the interaction in the complexes. The energy components were discussed, in connection to anharmonic frequency analysis. The results show that the induction and dispersion corrections were the main driving forces of the interaction, and that their…
