β¦ Synopsis
The intermolecular hydrogen bond and proton transfer of the system, acetic acid -pyridine was investigated by means of the semi-empirical PCILO (Perturbative Configuration Interaction using Localised Orbitals) method.
A potential curve with a single minimum was found in the 1:l complex of acetic acid -pyridine.
The effect of specific salvation (within the socalled supermolecule approach) on the potential curves for proton transfer was studied in the systems, acetic acid -pyridine x nH20 (n=2,3). The PCILO calculations, in agreement with experiments, have shown that these systems also form simple hydrogen bonded complexes.
