Halogens in Acetophenones Direct the Hydrogen Bond Docking Preference of Phenol via Stacking Interactions

Halogens in Acetophenones Direct the Hydrogen Bond Docking Preference of Phenol via Stacking Interactions

Phenol is added to acetophenone (methyl phenyl ketone) and to six of its halogenated derivatives in a supersonic jet expansion to determine the hydrogen bonding preference of the cold and isolated 1:1 complexes by linear infrared spectroscopy. Halogenation is found to have a pronounced effect on the...
