基于密度泛函理论的5~10元瓜环结构参数与前线轨道的计算

Calculation of Structural Parameters and Frontier Orbital of Cucurbituril (5-10) with Density Functional Theory

  • 摘要: 在气相环境中,使用密度泛函理论(DFT)优化由n个苷脲单元组成的瓜环n(CBn)(n=5~10),并使用密度泛函(DFT)概念指数和Multiwfn软件包计算和分析CBn的结构参数、前线轨道能量和化学稳定性.结果表明:α-N结构最稳定,α=O、γ-γγ-H和β-H(2)结构的化学稳定性较差;以CB6为界,主要二面角的变化呈现中心对称的形式;随着苷脲单元n的增加,CBn的端口直径、空腔直径和圆外径线性增大;前线轨道EHOMOELUMO值及ELUMO-EHOMO值逐渐降低,化学活性逐渐增强、稳定性逐渐减弱;端口O原子是最大的亲电活性位点,LUMO的电子云分布主要与H原子有关,且次甲基H原子对LUMO电子云的贡献最大;次甲基C原子、亚甲基C原子和指向CBn端口方向的亚甲基H原子对LUMO的电子云分布具有抑制作用,抑制能力的大小为指向CBn端口方向的亚甲基H原子>亚甲基C原子>次甲基C原子.为研究瓜环的超分子组装提供理论依据.

     

    Abstract: In gas phase, structure of cucurbituril (CBn, n=5-10) composed of n glycoluril units was optimized by density functional theory (DFT). Structural parameters, frontier orbital energy levels and chemical stability of CBn(n=5-10) were calculated and analyzed with conceptual DFT reactivity index and Multiwfn wave function analyzer. It showed that structure of C-N bond is most stable, chemical stability of α=O, γ-γ, γ-H and β-H(2) is poor. Change of part bond angle is bounded by CB6, and change of main dihedral angle exhibits symmetrical. Port diameter, cavity diameter and outer diameter of CBn(n=5-10) tend to increase linearly with increase of number of glycoluril units. EHOMO, ELUMO and ELUMO-EHOMO of CBn(n=5-10) reduced, their chemical activity increased and stability decreased with increase of number of glycoluril units. The largest electrophilic active sites are located at port O atoms. Electron cloud distribution of LUMO is mainly related to H atoms, and contribution of methine H atom to LUMO electron cloud is the largest. Methine C atom, methylene C atom, and methylene atom H in direction of CBn port have an inhibitory effect on electron cloud distribution of LUMO. Inhibitory capacity is methylene H atom in direction of CBn > methylene C atom > methine C atom. It provides theoretical basis for study of supramolecular assembly of cucurbituril.
