✦ Synopsis

Ab tnillo molecular orbltal'theory IS used to study gcomctrtes and encrges of hydrogen-bonded complcxcs between hydrogen fluondc, hydrogen chlondc (as proton donors) and acctylcnc, cthylcnc (as proton acceptors). Symmetrical Tshaped structures arc found lo be equlbnum structures for all four complexes. The strcnbths of the hydrogen bonds arc found to be less than for conventional hydrogen bonds mvolvmg lone patrs of electrons CzH2 C2H4
