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.

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: $n-BuNH_3^+\;>\;iso-BuNH_3^+\;>\;sec-BuNH_3^+\;>\;tert-BuNH_3^+$.

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.

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.

ab initio 방법을 이용하여 hexahydroxbenzene triscarbonate($C_9O_9$)와 이와 유사한 화합물($C_9O_9,C_9O_6S_3,C_9O_3S_9$)들의 평형구조(equilibrium geometry)와 에너지를 HF와 MP2 level에서 구하였다. 계산결과 이들 화합물은 모드 $C_{3v}$ bowl형 구조보다는 $D_{3h}$ 평면형구조가 더 안정함을 알 수 있었다. $HF/3-21G^*$ level에서 조화진동수(harmonic vibrational frequency)를 계산하였고 각각의 진동방식(vibrational mode)을 비교, 분석하였으며, $HF/63G^*$ level에서 구한 Mulliken population과 natural population을 이용하여 화합물들의 결합특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 또한 이들 화합물들의 열분해 의해서 생성되는 $C_6O_6$과 $C_6S_6$의 전자구조와 결합특성에 대한 연구를 HF와 MP2 level에서 하였다. 그리고 화합물들이 열분해하여 $C_6O_6,\;C_6S_6$, CO, 그리고 CS로 분리될 때의 필요한 에너지를 $HF/3-21G^*$ level에서 계산하여 열분해에 필요한 대략적인 에너지 장벽을 예상하여 보았다.

The barrier heights of the internal rotations for ethyl halides calculated by ab initio methods differ from those of experiments by more than 0.2 kcal/mol. The use of basis sets larger than the $6-31G^{\ast}$ set and the inclusion of correlation do not improve the agreement between the calculated and experimental values. The zero-point vibration corrections are substantial in the HF calculations with $6-31G^{\ast}$ basis sets, but become negligible in the MP2 calculations with $6-311G^{{\ast}{\ast}}$ basis sets for $C_2H_5F\;and\;C_2H_5Cl$. It is shown that the rigid rotor approximation and the assumed shape of the potential curve as a cos2${\theta}$ curve could also be the sources of discrepancies between calculated and experimental values. Higher order perturbation corrections narrow the gap between experimental and theoretical values, but there still remains about 10% overestimate of 0.3 kcal/mol. Optimized geometries from the HF and MP2 calculations are in good agreement with those from experiments. Dipole moments calculated from the MP2 densities show slightly better agreement with experiments than those from the HF densities.

The conformations and energies of p-tert-butylcalix[4]crown-6-ether (1) and its alkyl ammonium complexes have been calculated by ab initio HF/6-31G quantum mechanics method. The cone conformation was found to be most stable for free host 1. We hav e determined the binding site of these host-guest complexes focusing on the crown-6-ether or p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene pocket of the cone conformation of host molecule 1. The primary binding site of host 1 for the recognition of alkyl ammonium guests was confirmed to be the central part of the crown moiety of cone conformation. The complexation energy calculations revealed that the ammonium cation without alkyl group showed the highest complexation efficiency when combined with host 1, that is in satisfactory agreement with the experimental results.

$6-31+G^{\ast}^{\ast}와\;6-311+G^{\ast}^{\ast}$의 기본조를 사용해서 이합체 분자착물 FH…FH, FH…CO, FH…OC 뿐만 아니라 $(HF)_2(CO)$의 형성가능한 두가지 삼합체 분자착물들에 대해서 HF-SCF, MP2 그리고 B3LYP 계산을 수행했다. 이 삼합체 분자착물들에 대한 여러 가지 바닥상태 성질들을 구하였으며, 대응하는 단위체들과 이합체들의 성질들과 비교하였다. FH…CO가 FH…OC에 비해 평균 0.85 kcal/mol 만큼 안정했고, F-H…F-H…C≡O가 F-H…F-H…O≡C 보다 1∼2 kcal/mol 만큼 안정한 것으로 계산되었다. 삼합체 분자착물 형성에 따른 C≡O stretching band 는 그들의 이합체들(FH…CO, FH…OC)에 비해 각각 24, $37\;cm^{-1}$만큼, H-F stretching band는 각각 $54, 353\; cm^{-1}$만큼 red shift 되는 것으로 평가되었다.
