Molecular model of CENS piperidine β-CD inclusion complex: DFT study

Abstract

Structural aspects of the complexation of N-nitroso-N'-(2-chloroethyl)-N'-sulfamide piperidine (CENS) with b-cyclodextrin (b-CD) were investigated using standard B3LYP and MPW1PW91 Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Two orientations of the incoming CENS inside b-CD were considered to determine the lowest energy complex, namely the head (ring first) and tail (chain first) orientations. The calculations confirm that the tail orientation is more favorable than the head one by 5.9 kcal/mol (B3LYP) and 5.9-6.1 kcal/mol (MPW1PW91) the driving factor being the deformation energy undergone by b-CD. This preference is also due to the fact that the complexation with tail orientation of CENS occurs with a favourable anti-parallel disposition of the dipole moments of b-CD and CENS. The computed structure for the CENS -b-CD complex is in good agreement with mass and 15 N NMR spectroscopy observations. Moreover, this complexation mode leads to the formation of four intermolecular H-bonds between CENS and CD, i.e. two conventional H-bonds, one between N atom (N136) of the NO bond of CENS and H-6-O atom (H129) of b-CD and the other one between O atom (O137) of CENS SO 2 group and H-6-O (H120) and two weak (C-H. . .O) bonds. These interactions were investigated using the Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) approach. To cite this article: F.

Host–guest complex of cypermethrin with β-cyclodextrin: A spectroscopy and theoretical investigation

“…The size and conformal flexibility of CDs make the geometrical optimization very expensive and difficult precluding the use of more sophisticated ab initio methods, such as Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2, MP3 or MP4). Instead, some research works are based on molecular dynamics (MD) [23][24][25][26], semi-empirical quantum mechanics (QM) methods [27][28][29], Hartree-Fock method [30] and Density functional theory with appropriate basis set [31][32][33][34]. Among these works, the combining distinct theoretical methodologies, such as semi-empirical and DFT, are able to obtain reliable structures and interaction energies of CD's systems [27][28][29].…”

“…In NBO analysis, a stabilization energy (E (2) ) is used to characterize the interaction between the LP(Y) lone pair of the proton acceptor and BD* (X-H) anti-bond of proton donor, which reflects the delocalization trend of electrons from electron donor to acceptor orbitals [21]. It is suggested, in general, that the E (2) value is larger than 8.37 kJ mol -1 for strong H-bond interaction and from 8.37 to 2.09 kJ mol -1 for weak H-bond interaction [22].…”
