Abstract
The stabilities towards dissociation, geometries and electronic structures of ion/dipole complexes can be related to the donor/acceptor properties of the ion and dipole, respectively. This is demonstrated for the three radical cations CH2XH+. (X = F, OH, NH2) by means of ab initio investigations. MNDO and UMNDO calculations show qualitative the same results but differ considerably in detail. The relative stability of the ion/dipole complexes compared to the 'normal' structures CH3X+. does not reflect the strength of the bonding between ion and dipole.
