The complexes formed by H{sub 2}CO, CH{sub 3}CHO, and (CH{sub 3}){sub 2}CO with 1, 2, and 3 molecules of CO{sub 2} are studied by ab initio calculations. Three different types of heterodimers are observed, most containing a tetrel bond to the C atom of CO{sub 2}, and some supplemented by a CH⋅⋅O H-bond. One type of heterodimer is stabilized by an anti-parallel arrangement of the C=O bonds of the two molecules. The binding energies are enhanced by methyl substitution on the carbonyl, and vary between 2.4 and 3.5 kcal/mol. Natural bond orbital analysis identifies a prime source of interaction as charge transfer into the π*(CO) antibonding orbital. Heterotrimers and tetramers carry over many of the geometrical and bonding features of the binary complexes, but also introduce O⋅⋅O chalcogen bonds. These larger complexes exhibit only small amounts of cooperativity.
