Abstract The σ···π interactions in the Au6···PhX (X=H, CH3, OH, OCH3, NH2, F, Cl, Br, CN, NO2) complexes are studied using quantum chemical methods. The present study focuses on the different effects of electron-donating and -withdrawing substituent. The structure and binding strength of the complexes are examined. The interactions between Au6 cluster and various substituted benzene become strengthened relative to the Au6···benzene complex. The interaction region indicator analysis was performed, and the interaction region and interaction between the substituent and Au6 cluster are discussed. It is found that the substituent effects on the σ···π interactions between Au6 cluster and substituted benzene are different from π···π interactions of benzene dimer. Energy decomposition analysis was carried out to study the nature of σ···π interactions, and the substituent effects are mainly reflected on the electrostatic interaction and dispersion.

N-heterocyclic aromatic in anion-π interaction has been playing a crucial role in a host of chemical and biological processes. In the present contribution, several different complexes composed of N-heterocyclic anthracene C14-2mH10-2mN2m (m = 1, 2, and 3) and chloride anion are investigated at the atomic level. We find that anion-π interactions are enhanced with the increasing number of N atoms. In addition, positions of nitrogen heteroatoms also have a significant effect on this interaction. Contributions of α, β and γ N atoms are in order of Nβ>Nγ>Nα. Moreover, energy decomposition analysis indicates that electrostatic interactions are the dominant stabilizing forces when chloride anion locates above aromatic ring, while the influence of other terms becomes significant when chloride anion deviates from aromatic ring. It is worth noting that dispersion forces play an important role in those anion-π interactions.
