要旨

Model complexes of hexaethynylhexamethoxy[6]pericyclyne (HM6P) molecules, with or without dichloromethane (DCM) guests, have been calculated at the M05-2X/6-311G(d,p) DFT level. Analysis of nonbonding interactions shows that the cohesion of the supramolecular tubular assemblies previously observed in the crystal state, relies mainly on C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds between axial ethynyl and equatorial methoxy substituents of stacked HM6P C18 macrocycles in a cyclohexane-like chair conformation. The intrinsic binding energy of one HM6P molecule with two neighbors is calculated to be more than 40 kcal mol−1. The inner channel of the stacks (of ca. 8 Å diameter) are suitable for hosting DCM molecules. Using the Atoms In Molecules (AIM) theory, the interaction between DCM molecules and surrounding triple bonds is analyzed in terms of σ-hole-directed C–Cl⋯π halogen bonds. A σ-hole-directed Cl⋯Cl interaction between two chlorine atoms of different DCM molecules is also evidenced.

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.
