83. 5X fragment in 2, which are caused by the complexation, are largest for X = F. While the C-H bond for the hydrogen coordinated with the incoming halide anion is only 0.006, 0.005, and 0.003 Å longer in 2b-d, respectively, than that in corresponding halobenzenes 1b-d, the C-H bond in 2a (1.118 Å) is elongated by 0.031 Å as compared with the C-H bond in fluorobenzene calculated at the MP2/6-31+G(d) level (Table 2 and Table 2S). The halide complexation leads to a slight elongation of the C-X bond length in 2a-d when compared with that in the halobenzenes.
