The electronic and geometric structures of dibenzo-12-crown-4, dibenzo-18-crown-6, and dibenzo-24-crown-8 ethers, and dibenzo-18-crown-6 ether of fullero-N-methylpyrrolidine and their complexes with (CH3)xNH+4−x, x = 0–4 were investigated by employing density functional theory (B3LYP, M05-2X, M06-2X, MPWBIK and B2PLYP-D) in conjunction with three basis sets. Different energetic minima have been identified for all of the above molecules and complexes in the gas phase as well as in CHCl3 solvent. We report geometries, complexation energies and some thermochemical data. For increasing values of x, the complexation energies, corrected for the basis set superposition error range from 3.29 to 0.73 eV in the gas phase and from 1.56 to 0.13 eV in the CHCl3 solvent. In the case of the largest crown ethers, the 24-crown-8 ethers are folded around the ammonium cation so as to maximize the number of hydrogen bonds formed and present the largest complexation energies. Finally, the presence of fullero-N-methylpyrrolidine, attached to the crown ethers, does not change the complexation energies substantially.

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.
