摘要

The present paper reports the spectroscopic investigations on non-covalent interaction of fullerenes C₆₀ and C₇₀ with a designed trihomocalix[6]arene (rong class="boldFont">2rong>) in toluene. UV-vis studies reveal appreciable ground state interaction between fullerenes and rong class="boldFont">2rong>. Jobs method of continuous variation establishes 1:1 stoichiometry for fullerene-rong class="boldFont">2rong> complexes. Binding constant (K) data reveals that rong class="boldFont">2rong> binds C₇₀ more strongly compared to C₆₀, i.e. K_{C60-rong class="boldFont">2rong>} = 47,540 dm³ mol^鈭? and K_{C70-rong class="boldFont">2rong>} = 86,360 dm³ mol^鈭?. Proton NMR studies provide very good support in favor of strong binding between C₇₀ and rong class="boldFont">2rong>. Estimation of solvent reorganization energy (R_S) evokes that C₇₀-rong class="boldFont">2rong> complex is stabilized more compared to C₆₀-rong class="boldFont">2rong> complex as R_{S(C60-rong class="boldFont">2rong>)} = 鈭?.162 eV and R_{S(C70-rong class="boldFont">2rong>)} = 鈭?.244 eV. Semiempirical calculations at third parametric level of theory in vacuo evoke the single projection structures of the fullerene-rong class="boldFont">2rong> complexes and interpret the stability difference between C₆₀ and C₇₀ complexes of rong class="boldFont">2rong> in terms of enthalpies of formation values.
