Several structural modifications to the original molecular tweezers of the Klärner’s group were made with the aim of improving its binding capacity towards anions. The proposed modifications raise the molecular electrostatic potential inside the cavity and provide more conformational flexibility. The complexes of these new molecules with the halide anions Cl−, Br−, I− were optimized at the MPW1B95/6-31+G* level of theory. The molecular interactions were analyzed by single point density fitted local second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (DF-LMP2) and DF-LMP2 spin-component-scaled MP2 (SCS-MP2), calculations were performed with the cc-pVTZ basis set. In view of the large magnitude of the interaction energies computed and the stability of the complexes in different solvents, this kind of molecule is a good candidate as molecular host for anion recognition.

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.
