Abstract

By using quantum mechanical DFT calculations, the most probable structures of free benzo-18-crown-6 ligand (abbrev. L) and the cationic complex species CsL+ and CsL2+ were derived. In the CsL+ and CsL2+ complexes, the “central” cation Cs+ is bound by strong bond interactions to the corresponding ethereal oxygen atoms of the parent crown ligand L. The interaction energies of the CsL+ and CsL2+ complex species were found to be -272.5 and -385.0kJ/mol, respectively, confirming the formations of the considered complexes.
