The nature of the bond-length change upon molecule complexation has been investigated at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. Our results have clearly shown that the X–Y bond-length change upon complex formation is determined mainly by the electrostatic attractive interaction and the charge-transfer interaction. In the case of strongly polar bond, the electrostatic interaction always causes bond elongation while in the case of weakly polar bond it causes bond contraction. The charge-transfer interaction generally results in the X–Y bond elongation; either it is a more polar bond or it is a less polar bond. Employing this simple “electrostatic interaction plus charge-transfer interaction” explanation, we explained and predicted many interesting phenomena related to the bond-length change upon molecule complexation. In addition, the difference between the origin of the bond-length change upon hydrogen-bonded complex formation and the origin of the bond-length change upon halogen-bonded complex formation was also discussed.

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.

The shifts in the acetylenic C–H stretching vibration in the C–H⋯X hydrogen-bonded complexes correlate with the electrostatic component of the stabilization energy.
