Abstract: By means of ab initio calculations of MP2/6-311+G(2d, 2p) method, the optimized geometryof the CH2F2…H2O complex is obtained.The structure of a subunit in the complex is similar to that of itsmolecule(CH2F2, H2O).It was found that the geometry structure of the complex CH2F2...H2O is close toits experimental structure.∠F…H-O= 116.5°is a large deviation from a strictly linear H-bond.It is aresult that a strong π-type secondary hydrogen bond formed.Using a probing point charge to detect theorientations of the lone pairs at atom Oof the CH2F2…H2O, we establish here a π-type secondary H-bondinteraction model.Because long pair ni and CHi(i=1, 2) is almost parallel and in a plane, the additionalsecondary H-bond between ni and CHi(i=1,2) formed.The double π-type H-bond is very strong.Fur-thermore, the stabilized energy of bending H-bond comes from π-type H-bond (△Esb= -0.0658eV) isalso calculated.The stabilized energy of bending H-bond is very large, 46.6% of the interactrion energy of CH2F2…H2O complex.It is shown that the double π-type secondary hydrogen bond is very strong.

Key words: CH2F2…H2O, Ab initio, π-type secondary hydrogen bond
