The rotational spectrum of the 1 : 1 benzaldehyde-CO complex has been investigated using pulsed-jet Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy complemented with quantum chemical calculations. Two isomers, both characterized by one C⋯O tetrel bond (n → π* interaction) and one C-H⋯O hydrogen bond (n → σ* interaction), have been observed in the pulsed jet. Competition between the tetrel bond and the hydrogen bond has been disclosed by natural bond orbital analysis: isomer I is characterized by one dominating OC⋯O tetrel bond (12.6 kJ mol) and a secondary (C-H)⋯O hydrogen bond (2.2 kJ mol); by contrast, in isomer II the (C-H)⋯O hydrogen bond (7.6 kJ mol) becomes the dominant bond, while the OC⋯O tetrel bond (5.8 kJ mol) becomes much weaker with respect to that of isomer I. Using intensity measurements the relative population ratio of the two isomers was estimated to be / ≈ 2/1.
利用脉冲喷射傅里叶变换微波光谱并结合量子化学计算,对1:1苯甲醛 - CO络合物的转动光谱进行了研究。在脉冲喷射中观察到了两种异构体,它们都具有一个C⋯O四元键(n → π相互作用)和一个C - H⋯O氢键(n → σ相互作用)。自然键轨道分析揭示了四元键和氢键之间的竞争:异构体I的特征是一个占主导地位的OC⋯O四元键(12.6 kJ/mol)和一个次级(C - H)⋯O氢键(2.2 kJ/mol);相比之下,在异构体II中,(C - H)⋯O氢键(7.6 kJ/mol)成为主导键,而OC⋯O四元键(5.8 kJ/mol)相对于异构体I变得弱得多。通过强度测量,估计两种异构体的相对丰度比为/ ≈ 2/1。
