✦ Synopsis
The methyl radical (CH 3 ) complexes with hydrogen fluoride (HF) and ethyne (HCCH) are reported to show the existence of a single-electron hydrogen bond. Their geometrical structures are optimized at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ and MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ levels and C 3v stationary structures are obtained for the two complexes. The single-electron hydrogen bond energies of H 3 CÁ Á ÁHF and H 3 CÁ Á ÁHCCH are calculated at six levels of theory [SCF, MP2, MP3, MP4, CCSD, and CCSD(T)] and their harmonic vibrational frequencies are calculated at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level.
