The interaction between carbon dioxide and planar carboxylic acids has been investigated through the analysis of the microwave spectrum of the acrylic acid·CO2 complex and quantum chemical modeling of the R–COOH·(CO2)1,16 clusters, where R = H, CH2CH. As regards the 1 : 1 compounds, two species, involving the s-cis and s-trans conformers of acrylic acid were observed. For both of them, a similar bidentate interaction arises between the carbonyl group of CO2 and the carboxylic group of the organic acid, leading to the formation of a planar six-membered ring. The binding energy is estimated to be De ≃ 21 kJ mol−1, 1/3 being the energy contributions of the tetrel to hydrogen bonds, respectively. In the 1 : 16 clusters, the ring arrangement is broken, allowing for the interaction of the acid with several CO2 molecules. The CO2 molecules completely surround formic acid, whereas, in the case of acrylic acid, they tend to avoid the allyl chain.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
