摘要
Donor-acceptor interactions play a dominant role in descriptions of various chemical systems. The interactions of main-group Lewis bases with main-group Lewis acids has attracted interest for many years. In this article, donor-acceptor interactions in NHC-EX3 (NHC = normal and abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene; E = B, Al, Ga; X = H, F, Cl, OH, NH2, CH3, CF3) adducts have been investigated within the realms of DFT and atoms-in-molecules (AIM) theory. Substituents attached to the E atom have a profound effect on the strength and dissociation energies of the NHC-E bond. AIM analysis suggests that these donor-acceptor bonds have significant covalent character, which follows the order Al < Ga < B.
