Recently, the HBr + HCl bimolecular reaction has been exploited by guided ion beam studies to probe the effect of rotational excitations and collision energies on the dynamics of the ion-molecule reactions. The current manuscript employs high-level calculations and reports the potential energy of pathways leading to various products, including HBr + HCl, HCl + Br, HBr + Cl, and H + BrCl. The study shows that the intermediates involved in this reaction are connected by low-lying transition states, thus frequent isomerizations and diverse products are expected. Further, this manuscript screens the performance of 192 different combinations of computationally efficient methods and basis sets in order to identify the optimal quantum chemical method for further dynamics simulations.

The information entropy based on the occupation numbers has been found to play a central role in a description of electron correlation within the density-matrix functional theory [-DMFT, see , 128, 013001]. In this article, the -DMFT method is applied to predict potential energy curves, equilibrium bond lengths, and harmonic vibrational frequencies for the hydrogen halides: HF, HCl, and HBr. The results are compared with other theoretical calculations and experimental spectroscopic data.

Reaction of 2-amino-5-iodo-pyridine (5IAP) with concentrated HBr at room temperature yielded 2-amino-5-iodo-pyridinium bromide, CHIN ·Br or (5IAPH)Br. The complex formed pale-yellow crystals, which exhibit significant hydrogen bonding between the amino and pyridinium N-H donors and bromide ion acceptors. Halogen bonding is also observed.

Nucleophilicities for a range of simple carbene molecules acting as hydrogen bond acceptors B in forming complexes B⋯HX are reported. The carbenes chosen to fulfil the roles of a Lewis base are B = RM, -(CH)M, HCCM and two N-heterocyclic carbenes, where M is one of the group 14 tetrel atoms, C, Si, Ge or Sn and R = H, CH, and F. All the carbenes but CH have a singlet electronic ground state.

The acidity of hydrohalic acids increases down the group, with HF and HI being the weakest and strongest acids. Electronic structure calculations suggest that the critical electric fields required for the dissociation of HF, HCl, HBr, and HI are 347, 193, 163, and 153 MV cm, respectively, which are proportional to their corresponding p values and emphasize that in these systems the bond dissociation energy determines the p. The solvent configuration plays a significant role in the acid dissociation process, which is illustrated by a particular configuration of three water molecules around HX and favors dissociation of only HBr, even though the critical electric field required for the dissociation of HI is lower than that of HBr, as depicted in the graphical abstract.
