We report laser spectroscopic and computational studies of host/guest hydration interactions between functional molecules (hosts) and water (guest) in supersonic jets. The examined hosts include dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether (DB18C6), benzo-18-crown-6-ether (B18C6) and calix[4]arene (C4A). The gaseous complexes between the functional molecular hosts and water are generated under jet-cooled conditions. Various laser spectroscopic methods are applied for these species: the electronic spectra are observed by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), mass-selected resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) and ultraviolet-ultraviolet hole-burning (UV-UV HB) spectroscopy, whereas the vibrational spectra for each individual species are observed by infrared-ultraviolet double resonance (IR-UV DR) spectroscopy. The obained results are analyzed by first principles electronic structure calculations. We discuss the conformations of the host molecules, the structures of the complexes, and key interactions forming the specific complexes.
我们报道了在超音速射流中功能分子(主体)与水(客体)之间的主体/客体水合相互作用的激光光谱和计算研究。所研究的主体包括二苯并-18-冠-6-醚(DB18C6)、苯并-18-冠-6-醚(B18C6)和杯[4]芳烃(C4A)。在喷射冷却条件下,在气态复合物之间产生了功能分子主体和水之间的气态复合物。应用了各种激光光谱方法来研究这些物种:通过激光诱导荧光(LIF)、质量选择共振增强多光子电离(REMPI)和紫外-紫外空穴烧蚀(UV-UV HB)光谱观察电子光谱,而通过红外-紫外双共振(IR-UV DR)光谱观察每个物种的振动光谱。通过第一性原理电子结构计算对获得的结果进行了分析。我们讨论了主体分子的构象、配合物的结构以及形成特定配合物的关键相互作用。
