The spectroscopic properties of $FO^+$ and FO were investigated by ab initio calculation. Several different levels of theory, $MP3/6-31G^*,\;MP4/6-311G^*\;and\;CISD/6-31G^*$, were tried and compared with experimental results of FO. In the overall performance the CISD showed the best agreement. Based on these results the spectroscopic constants of $FO^+$ are predicted.

Molecular structures were optimized for the 1,3-diethoxycalix[4]crown-5-ether (2) in the various isomers and their potassium-ion complexes by using B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)//B1LYP/6-31G(d,p) method after ab initio RHF/6-31G calculation. The cone-shaped isomer of 2 with cr-binding mode has shown the strongest binding efficiency among the six different complexes attributed to seven electrostatic interactions between the potassium cation and the oxygen atoms of crown-5-ether and ethoxy groups of the host (2). The vibrational spectra of 2 and its K+-complexes were obtained by restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) calculations with the 6-31G basis set. The characteristic vibrational frequencies of various C-O-C stretching and bending motions are analyzed.

In this study we have performed ab initio computer simulations to investigate the conformational characteristics of the tetraethyl (1) and triethyl ester (2) of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene. The structures of different conformational isomers for each compound have been optimized using ab initio RHF/6-31G methods. After optimization, B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) single point calculations of the final structures are done to include the effect of electron correlation and the basis set with diffuse function and polarization function. Relative stability of tetraethyl ester (1) of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene is in following order: cone (most stable) > partial cone > 1,3- alternate > 1,2-alternate isomer. Relative stability of triethyl ester (2) of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene is in following order: cone (most stable) > 2-partial cone > 1-partial cone > 3-partial cone ~ 1,3-alternate ~ 1,2- alternate isomer.

In this study we have performed ab initio computer simulations to investigate the conformational characteristics of the tetramethoxycalix[4]arenes (1 and 2). The structures of four types (cone, partial cone, 1,2-alternate, and 1,3-alternate) of conformers for each compound have been optimized using ab initio RHF/6-31G and 6-31$G^{**}$ methods. General trends in relative stabilities of tetramethyl ether derivatives of calix[4]arene 1 and p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene 2 are similar and decrease in following order: partial cone (most stable) > cone > 1,3-alternate > 1,2-alternate. The calculated results of the most stable conformation of partial cone structure agree with the reported NMR experimental observations.

The complexation characteristics of tetramethyl (1) and tetraethyl esters (2) of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene with alkali metal cations have been investigated by ab initio calculation. The structures of endo- or exocomplexation of the hosts in cone conformation with alkali metal ions have been optimized using HF/6-31G method followed by B3LYP/6-31G(d) single point calculation. B3LYP/6-31G(d) calculations suggest that exo-complexation efficiencies of sodium ion to the cavity of lower rim of hosts 1 and 2 are 27.1 and 25.8 kcal/mol better than that of potassium ion, respectively. The exo-complexation efficiencies of potassium ion to the cavity of lower rim of hosts 1 and 2 are 33.3 and 31.5 kcal/mol better than the endo-complexation inside the upper rim (four aromatic rings) as expected from the experimental results. B3LYP/6-31G(d) calculation of the ethyl ester 2 shows 29.5 and 30.8 kcal/mol better exo-complexation efficiency for both sodium and potassium ions than the methyl ester 1.

The structures and complexation energies of penta-O-alkylated 1b and penta-O-tert-butyl ester 1e of p-tert-butylcalix[5]arene and their simplified structures (2b and 2e) toward a series of alkyl ammonium guests have been calculated by a semi-empirical AM1 method. For AM1 calculations, complexation efficiencies of the simplified host 2e are very similar to the values of host 1e. The complexes of simplified host 2e with alkyl ammonium ions also have been optimized by ab initio HF/6-31G method. The calculated complexation efficiencies for 2e by ab initio method have been found to be bigger in magnitude than the values obtained by AM1 calculations for linear alkyl ammonium guests. Calculation results show that all of the calix[5]aryl derivatives investigated in this study have much better complexation ability toward ammonium cation without alkyl group compared with other alkyl ammonium guests. Ab initio calculations also well duplicate the molecular discriminating behaviors of calix[5]arene derivative 2e between butyl ammonium ions: $n-BuNH_3^+\;>\;iso-BuNH_3^+\;>\;sec-BuNH_3^+\;>\;tert-BuNH_3^+$.

A hexagonal hexamer of water cluster is optimized by ab initio method using the 4-31G basis set. At this geometry the nonadditive many-body interactions are calculated. The ab initio calculation with large basis set [T. H. Dunning, J. Chem. Phys., 53, 2823 (1970); 54, 3958 (1971)] shows that a pentagonal unit is rather stable among several kinds of clustering units of water molecules.

The structures and complexation energies of penta-O-tert-butyl ester 1 of p-tert-butylcalix[5]arene toward a series of alkyl ammonium guests have been optimized by ab initio HF/6-31G method. The calculated complexation efficiencies of 1 for alkyl ammonium guests have been found to be similar to the values of previously reported debutylated-calix[5]arene 2. Calculation results show that both of the calix[5]aryl derivatives have much better complexation ability toward ammonium cation without alkyl group over other alkyl ammonium guests. The structural characteristics of the calculated complexes are discussed as a function of the nature of the alkyl substituents of the ammonium guests.

메타-치환 피리딘의 치환기 효과를 조사하기 위하여 ab initio 계산을 수행하였다. 여러 메타-치환 피리딘의 최적화 된 구조로부터 정전기전위를 계산하였으며, 그 결과 피리딘의 질소 원자에서 최소정전기전위 값을 나타내었다. 최소정전기전위 값을 나타내었다. 최소정전기전위 값을 Hammett 치환기 상수, ${\sigma}_m$ 및 ${\Delta}pK_a$ 와 비교한 결과 흘륭한 상관성이 있음을 알았으며, 따라서 최소정전기전위가 치환기 효과를 나타내는 유용한 척도로 사용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
