The Tetrel Bonds of Hypervalent Halogen Compounds

The tetrel bond between PhXF<sub>2</sub>Y(TF<sub>3</sub>) (T = C and Si; X = Cl, Br, and I; Y = F and Cl) and the electron donor MCN (M = Li and Na) was investigated at the M06-2X/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. As the electronegativity of the halogen atom X increases, the stren...
