The H bonds of HArF and HF with N2, CO, and BF were studied at the MP2(full)/6-311++G(2d, 2p) level. The results show that only the complexes WY···HArF (WY = N2, OC) and WY···HF (WY = N2, OC, FB) are stable, the H-bonding WY···HArF leads to contraction of the HAr bond with a concomitant frequency blue shift, but the H-bonding WY···HF causes the HF bond to elongate with a frequency red shift. A quantity P is defined to measure polarization of the HX bond; the H bonding causes the P value of the HX bond (X = Ar, F) to increase. The HX bond length change and frequency shift in the H-bonding WY···HArF and WY···HF are mainly caused by intermolecular hyperconjugation, n(Y) → σ*(HX) (X = Ar, F), where electrostatic interaction has only a small contribution. In HArF, the strong intramolecular hyperconjugation, n(F) → σ*(HAr), can adjust electron density on σ*(HAr); upon formation of H bonding, the HAr stretching frequency blue shift is caused by a decrease of intramolecular hyperconjugation and an increase of the s character of the Ar hybrid in the HAr bond, induced by the intermolecular hyperconjugation. In the H bonds of HF without intramolecular hyperconjugation, the intermolecular hyperconjugation, n(Y) → σ*(HF), leads to a red shift of the HF bond, although there is also large rehybridization.
