Properties of fluorobenzene⋅⋅⋅Ar and p-difluorobenzene⋅⋅⋅Ar complexes: Ab initio study

Abstract
The potential energy surfaces of fluorobenzene...Ar and p‐difluorobenzene...Ar were studied by ab initio calculations with inclusion of second‐order Mo/ller–Plesset correlation energy. The optimal structures of both complexes agree nicely with experimental data. The theoretical stabilization enthalpy for the second complex (294 cm−1) agrees well with the experimental data (190–242 cm−1). The fluorine substitution of the benzene molecule does not influence the characteristics of the respective complex. The dipole moment of both complexes was calculated; in both cases the electron transfer from fluorobenzene to Ar was found.
