Abstract

In this contribution we investigated the ion complexation of Bühl's cryptand, dodeka(ethylene)octamine by quantum chemical methods (B3LYP/LANL2DZp). This cryptand is an isomer of a well-known Lehn-type cryptand [TriPip222]. The ion selectivity was determined based on the energetic criteria derived by model reactions starting from solvated metal ions and empty dodeka(ethylene)octamine, and by comparing the M–N bond length in [M ⊂ dodeka(ethylene)octamine]m+ and [M(NH3)6]m+. We calculated that Bühl's cryptand will complex best Na+ followed by Li+ as alkaline cations and Ca2+ followed by Mg2+ as alkaline earth metal ions. Based on this data we conclude that Bühl's cryptand offers a smaller cavity to nest ions than the Lehn-type [TriPip222].
