Binary halide–water complexes X<sup>–</sup>(H<sub>2</sub>O) are examined by means of symmetry-adapted perturbation theory, using charge-constrained promolecular reference densities to extract a meaningful charge-transfer component from the induction energy. As is known, the X<sup>–</sup>(H<sub>2</sub>O) potential energy surface (for X = F, Cl, Br, or I) is characterized by symmetric left and right hydrogen bonds separated by a <i>C<sub>2v</sub></i>-symmetric saddle point, with a tunneling barrier height that is < 2 kcal/mol except in the case of F<sup>–</sup>(H<sub>2</sub>O). Our analysis demonstrates that the charge-transfer energy is correspondingly small (< 2 kcal/mol except for X = F), considerably smaller than the electrostatic interaction energy. Nevertheless, charge transfer plays a crucial role determining the conformational preferences of X<sup>–</sup>(H<sub>2</sub>O) and provides a driving force for the formation of quasi-linear X<sup>...</sup>H–O hydrogen bonds. Charge-transfer energies correlate well with measured O–H vibrational redshifts for both halide–water complexes as well as OH<sup>–</sup>(H<sub>2</sub>O) and NO<sub>2</sub><sup>–</sup>(H<sub>2</sub>O), providing some indication of a general mechanism. <br>
