The current investigation uses the Density Functional Theory (DFT) with the M06-2X functional and 6-31G (d, p) basis set to examine the interaction between trichlorfon (TCF) and the cavity of βcyclodextrin (β-CD). The primary objective of our study is to gain an insight into the molecular characteristics of this interaction by analyzing quantum parameters such as the HOMO-LUMO gap, the HOMO and the LUMO. Two potential encapsulation modes, designated as A and B models, were identified for TCF. The thermodynamic assessments including complexation energies and alterations in enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy indicate a stable and advantageous encapsulation procedure. The Independent Gradient Model (IGMH) provides insights into the noncovalent interactions in developing the TCF@β-CD complex. The observed stability can be mainly attributed to a significant intermolecular hydrogen bond emphasized by the NBO and EDA and weak van der Waals forces. The results of our study indicate that β-CD as macrocycle has the potential to be a suitable trap for trichlorfon.
