Hydrogen-bonded ? complexes C2H2--H-X have been formed by codeposition of C2H2 and HX in excess argon at 15 K and by vacuum-UV photolysis of vinyl halides.The strength of the hydrogen bond, as measured by the displacement of the H-X vibrational fundamental below the isolated HX value, decreases in the series HF, HCl, and HBr as expected.Similar complexes made from di- and thichloroethylenes give slightly higher H-Cl vibrations which show minimal interaction between the halide and the acetylene substituent.The H-F fundamentals for C2H4 and C2H2 complexes at 3732 and 3747 cm-1, respectively, show that the ? electrons in double and triple bonds are comparable hydrogen-bond acceptors.
