Abstract
The gas-phase van der Waals complexes formed in the course of donor–acceptor interaction are shown to become coordination compounds only in the crystalline state. With close lengths of the covalent-ionic and coordination bonds, their energies differ by ∼100 kJ. This energy difference is due to the work spent to overcome van der Waals forces during the formation of complex ions from interacting molecules.
