ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: The molecular design of spatially preorganized molecules is one of the critical issues in organic chemistry. Molecular recognition and multipoint binding define them. They organize nanoscale assemblies and devices and stably form host-guest inclusion complexes. Not only is this kind of research important in theory but it also has applications. They are used to create the basic elements of sensory devices: elements of cellular electronics, functional nanofilms and coatings, molecular switches, etc. Thiacalix[4]arenes are a useful molecular platform for constructing a wide range of preorganized receptor structures. This research aims to examine the structure and spectra of distally substituted para-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene aliphatic (C1) and aromatic (C2) esters. The comparison of the spectra of C1, C2, and C3 makes it possible to reveal the structures and H-bonds of these compounds. The structures and H-bonds of these compounds can be seen by analyzing the spectra of C1, C2, and C3. Calculations were made for the spectra of various C1 and C2 molecule conformations. The most stable conformation for C1 and C2 molecules is a distorted cone 2 (DC2) with the same ester group orientation. The pinched cone (PC) conformation is the most unstable. Thiacalixarene molecules' cavities shrink from 3.61 to 3.57 Å when aromatic ester groups take the place of aliphatic ester groups. Two OH groups are linked to an oxygen atom in the DC1 and DC2 conformations of the C1 and C2 molecules. H-bonds in C1 and C2 molecules affect the supramolecular characteristics of these molecules. A drop in ionization energy and increases in electron affinity, chemical potential, softness, electrophilicity index, and dipole moment occur when aliphatic esters are replaced with aromatic ones. METHODS: Disubstituted aliphatic and aromatic esters' IR, Raman, and NMR spectra have been investigated. The DFT/B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) method and the GAUSSIAN 09W software were used to determine the vibrational spectra of molecules and optimize their geometry. A gauge-independent (GIAO) approach was used to determine chemical shifts in the NMR spectra with respect to tetramethylsilane.

ABSTRACT

The vibrational spectra of the p-tetrasulfonatothiacalix[4]arene pentasodium salt (TCAS) and tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene (BuTCA) were studied. Comparison of the TCAS and BuTCA IR spectra allows us to isolate the bands of tert-butyl and sulfonate groups. Geometry, IR and Raman spectra were calculated for conformation cone, partial cone, 1,2-, and 1,3-alternate. The most stable conformation of the TCAS is the cone. Characteristic bands were determined for each of the possible conformations. In the case of the TCAS molecule, four ions of sodium are coordinated with the oxygen atoms of sulfonate groups, and the fifth ion interacts with the oxygen and sulfur atoms of the macrocycle. Under the influence of sodium ions, the distribution of electron density in the TCAS molecule and its ability to supramolecular interactions change.

ABSTRACT

The IR spectra of p-(3-carboxy-1-adamantyl)thiacalix[4]arene (1-AdCOOHTC4A) have been studied. IR spectra of crystalline 1-AdCOOHTC4A obtained at room temperature or upon heating to 250 °C or its dilute solutions lack bands of free hydroxyl groups. The frequency of hydroxyl groups at 3377 cm-1 indicates the formation of an intramolecular H-bond along the lower rim of the 1-AdCOOHTC4A molecule. On the top edge of thiacalixarene, the carboxyl groups form dimeric or cyclic tetrameric complexes via intermolecular H-bonds. The conformation of the cone persists, but there is a mutual influence of H-bonds along the upper and lower rims of the thiacalix[4]arene molecule. The structure with dimer H-bonds between carboxyl groups is 31.9 KJ/mol less preferable than the conformation with tetramer cyclic H-bonds for 1-AdCOOHTC4A. Comparison of the absorption band of νOH alcohol hydroxyl groups in the IR spectra of 1-AdCOOHTC4A at 3377 cm-1, with the corresponding band of 1-AdTC4A at 3372 cm-1, suggests that the presence of the second system of H-bonds of carboxyl groups in the first molecule does not affect the H-bond of alcohol hydroxyl groups.
