Area of Science:

  • Theoretical chemistry
  • Computational chemistry
  • Organic chemistry

Background:

  • Self-association of cyclic alpha-hydroxy-carbonyl derivatives is crucial for understanding molecular interactions.
  • Chirality plays a significant role in the aggregation behavior of organic molecules.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the self-association of homochiral and heterochiral dimers of cyclic alpha-hydroxy-carbonyl derivatives.
  • To analyze the influence of substituents and solvation on dimer stability and properties.
  • To explore the impact of complexation on optical rotatory power.

Main Methods:

  • Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) for electronic structure calculations.
  • Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) and Atoms in Molecules (AIM) methodologies for energetic analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Gas-phase studies indicate a preference for heterochiral dimers across different substituents.
    • Solvation effects showed minor changes in preferred configurations but could alter homo/heterochiral preferences.
    • Optical rotatory power exhibited significant variations based on substituents and complexation.

    Conclusions:

    • Heterochiral dimers are generally favored in the gas phase for these cyclic systems.
    • Solvation plays a nuanced role, affecting preferences without drastically changing favored configurations.
    • The study highlights the sensitivity of optical properties to molecular structure and aggregation.
