Abstract

The vibrational spectra of the p-tetrasulfonatothiacalix[4]arene pentasodium salt (TCAS) and tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene (BuTCA) were studied. Comparison of the TCAS and BuTCA IR spectra allows us to isolate the bands of tert-butyl and sulfonate groups. Geometry, IR and Raman spectra were calculated for conformation cone, partial cone, 1,2-, and 1,3-alternate. The most stable conformation of the TCAS is the cone. Characteristic bands were determined for each of the possible conformations. In the case of the TCAS molecule, four ions of sodium are coordinated with the oxygen atoms of sulfonate groups, and the fifth ion interacts with the oxygen and sulfur atoms of the macrocycle. Under the influence of sodium ions, the distribution of electron density in the TCAS molecule and its ability to supramolecular interactions change.
