Abstract
In the presence of a halide ion, hypohalous acids can adopt two binding motifs upon formation of the ion-molecule complexes [XHOY]-(X, Y = Cl, Br, I): a hydrogen (HB) bond to the acid OH group and a halogen (XB) bond between the anion and the acid halogen. Here we isolate the X-bonded Cl-·IOH ion-molecule complex by collisions of I-·(H2O)nclusters with HOCl vapor and measure its vibrational spectrum by IR photodissociation of the H2-tagged complex. Anharmonic analysis of its vibrational band pattern reveals that formation of the XB complex results in dramatic lowering of the HOI bending fundamental frequency and elongation of the O-I bond (by 168 cm-1and 0.13 Å, respectively, relative to isolated HOI).
