RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 A General Treatment to Study Molecular Complexes Stabilized by Hydrogen‐, Halogen‐, and Carbon‐Bond Networks: Experiment and Theory of (CH2F2)n⋅⋅⋅(H2O)m A1 Calabrese, Camilla A1 Li, Weixing A1 Prampolini, Giacomo A1 Evangelisti, Luca A1 Uriarte, Iciar A1 Cacelli, Ivo A1 Melandri, Sonia A1 Cocinero, Emilio José AB Rotational spectra of several difluoromethane–wateradducts have been observed using two broadband chirpedpulseFourier-transform microwave (CP-FTMW) spectrometers.The experimental structures of (CH2F2)···(H2O)2,(CH2F2)2···(H2O), (CH2F2)···(H2O)3, and (CH2F2)2···(H2O)2were unambiguously identified with the aid of 18 isotopicsubstituted species. A subtle competition between hydrogen,halogen, and carbon bonds is observed and a detailed analysiswas performed on the complex network of non-covalentinteractions which stabilize each cluster. The study shows thatthe combination of stabilizing contact networks is able toreinforce the interaction strength through a cooperative effect,which can lead to large stable oligomers.
