Effect of Fluorination on the Competition of Halogen Bonding and Hydrogen Bonding: Complexes of Fluoroiodomethane with Dimethyl Ether and Trimethylamine. Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen
To further rationalize the competition between halogen and hydrogen bonding, a combined experimental and theoretical study on the weakly bound molecular complexes formed between the combined halogen bond/hydrogen bond donor fluoroiodomethane and the Lewis bases dimethyl ether and trimethylamine (in standard and fully deuterated form) is presented. The experimental data are obtained by recording infrared and Raman spectra of mixtures of the ...
