ABSTRACT
The microwave spectra of five isotopologues of phenylacetyleneâ¯methanol complex, C6H5CCHâ¯CH3OH, C6H5CCHâ¯CH3OD, C6H5CCHâ¯CD3OD, C6H5CCDâ¯CH3OH and C6H5CCHâ¯13CH3OH, have been observed through Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. Rotational spectra unambiguously unveil a specific structural arrangement characterised by dual interactions between the phenylacetylene and methanol. CH3OH serves as a hydrogen bond donor to the acetylenic π-cloud while concurrently accepting a hydrogen bond from the ortho C-H group of the PhAc moiety. The fitted rotational constants align closely with the structural configuration computed at the B3LYP-D3/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. The transitions of all isotopologues exhibit doublets owing to the methyl group's internal rotation within the methanol molecule. Comprehensive computational analyses, including natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, atoms in molecules (AIM) theory, and non-covalent interactions (NCI) index plots, reveal the coexistence of both O-Hâ¯π and C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds within the complex. Symmetry adapted perturbation theory with density functional theory (SAPT-DFT) calculations performed on the experimentally determined geometry provide an insight into the prominent role of electrostatic interactions in stabilising the overall structural arrangement.
