By semiempirical and nonempirical methods of quantum chemistry a study was made of the steric and electron structure of the molecules YNH/sub 2/ and PX/sub 3/ (Y = H, CH/sub 3/; X = H, F, Cl) and their molecular complexes. The binding of PF/sub 3/ and amines in complexes is effected by electrostatic interaction, but in complexes of PCl/sub 3/ with amines by donor-acceptor interaction with considerable transfer of electron density from the amine to the low-lying unoccupied orbitals of the P-Cl sigma* bond.
