Quantum Mechanics and Molecular Mechanics Studies of the Low-Energy Conformations of 9-Crown-3

Abstract: Quantum mechanics calculations and molecular mechanics calculations using the MMX force field have been performed on the low-energy conformations of 9-crown-3. A [144] conformation corresponds to the global minimum at the MP2/6-31G**//6-31G** level, with a [225] conformation only 0.72 kcal/mol higher in energy. The [333] conformation in which all three oxygen atoms are on the same side of the least squares plane passing through the ring, a structure particularly favorable as a tridentate ligand, is calculated… Show more

“…In other words, inclusion of the electron correlation had a significant effect on the energy order. As was mentioned above, this is in a clear agreement to what was concluded for 12c4 22 but in contradiction to what was observed for 9c3 21 and in a previous report of 12c4. 24 It is not clear the reason of this disagreement between 12c4 and 18c6 on one hand and 9c3 on the other hand, but this may be attributed to the small number of the possible conformation of 9c3.…”

“…This indicates the importance of inclusion of the electron correlation for the accurate prediction of the energy order concluded for 12c4. 22 This is in contradiction to what was reported earlier by Anderson et al 21 and Bultanic et al 24 that the electron correlation is not necessary for accurate predication of order of the relative conformational energies. Also, because of the known accuracy of the optimized geometries predicted at the B3LYP level compared to those at the HF level, according to the MP2/6-31+G*//B3LYP/6-31+G* energy order, it is reasonable to assume that conformation 115 has lower energy than the C i conformation.…”
