Abstract

Interplay between CH…π and hydrogen bond interactions of benzamide has been investigated by quantum mechanical calculations. The effect of the substituents on geometrical parameters has also been studied at the B3LYP level with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The electron-withdrawing substituents enhance the total interaction energy of the complexes. The results indicated that the cooperativity of interactions leads to extra stability of the ternary complexes. The CH…π interaction and the hydrogen bond energies have been estimated using the electron densities calculated by the atoms in molecules (AIM) method at hydrogen bond critical points. The strength of hydrogen bonding increases in the presence of CH…π interaction in the ternary complexes. The effect of CH…π interaction on the hydrogen bond interaction has also been studied by the natural bond orbital, AIM and the molecular electrostatic potential analyses.
