Halogen–Halogen Nonbonded Interactions [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2021 Halogen-halogen nonbonded interactions were studied for methyl halides and phenyl halides using both B3LYP and MP2 along with 6-311+G* and aug-cc-pVTZ. With the methyl halides, the linear approach was found to lead to little stabilization, whereas the "90°" approach gave 1-2 kcal/mol. This modest stabilization was due to long-range electron correlation
