Abstract
Semiempirical PM3, ab initio HF/3-21g*, and DFT B3LYP/6-31g* calculations i n vacuum and in solution were performed on the inclusion complexation of cy clobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) with nine symmetric aromatic substrates. A goo d correlation was found between the theoretical stabilization energies and experimental free energy changes upon complexation, (C) 2001 Elsevier Scien ce B.V. All rights reserved.
