The structure of dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether (DB18C6) and its hydrated clusters has been investigated in a supersonic jet. Two conformers of bare DB18C6 and six hydrated clusters (DB18C6–(H2O)n) were identified by laser-induced fluorescence, fluorescence-detected UV–UV hole-burning and IR–UV double-resonance spectroscopy. The IR–UV double resonance spectra were compared with the IR spectra obtained by quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31+G* level. The two conformers of bare DB18C6 are assigned to “boat” and “chair I” forms, respectively, among which the boat form is dominant. All the six DB18C6–(H2O)nclusters with n = 1–4 have a boat conformation in the DB18C6 part. The water molecules form a variety of hydration networks in the boat–DB18C6 cavity. In DB18C6–(H2O)1, a water molecule forms the bidentate hydrogen bond with the O atoms adjacent to the benzene rings. In this cluster, the water molecule is preferentially hydrogen bonded from the bottom of boat–DB18C6. In the larger clusters, the hydration networks are developed on the basis of the DB18C6–(H2O)1cluster.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
