Strong orbital deformation due to CH-π interaction in the benzene-methane complex

    Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

    Abstract

    The orbital distribution and composition of the benzene-methane complex have been investigated systemically using ab initio calculations for the first time. Surprisingly, we find strong deformation in the HOMO-4 and LUMO+2 induced by CH-π interaction, extending the general view that nonbonding interaction does not cause orbital change of molecules.
