(Graph Presented) The relative importance of H-bonding and π stacking in isolated cold complexes of 2-pyridone (2PY) with 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene (4FB), pentafluorobenzene (5FB), and hexafluorobenzene (6FB) was investigated. Unexpectedly, only 2PY·6FB exhibits π stacking in the gas phase and a broad UV spectrum. The other 2PY·nFB complexes show narrow absorption spectra characteristic of doubly H-bonded dimers (see picture). © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
