Abstract
Single isolated molecules and supramolecular host-guest systems, which consist of π-π stacking interactions, are emerging as promising building blocks for creating molecular electronic devices. In this article, we have investigated the noncovalent π-π interaction and intermolecular electron charge transport involved in a series of host-guest complexes formed between a cage-like host (H6+) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) guests (G1-G7) using different quantum chemical approaches. The host (H6+) consists of two triscationic π-electron-deficient trispyridiniumtriazine (TPZ3+) units that are bridged face-to-face by three ethylene-triazole-ethylene. Our theoretical calculations show that the perylene and naphthalene inclusion complexes G7⊂H and G1⊂H have the highest and lowest interaction energies, respectively. In addition, energy decomposition analysis (EDA) indicated that the dispersion interaction term, ΔEdisp, significantly contributes to the host-guest interaction and is correlated with the existence of π-π van der Waals interaction. Using the nonequilibrium Greens function (NEGF) method in combination with density functional theory (DFT), the current-voltage (I-V) curves of the complexes were estimated. The conductance values increased when the guests were embedded inside the host cavity. Notably, the complex G7⊂H has the maximum conductance value. Overall, this study provided the electron transport of the PAH inclusion host-guest complex through π-π interaction and provided a direction for the fabrication of future supramolecular molecular devices.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are polluting agents, produced naturally or artificially, widely dispersed in the environment and potentially carcinogenic and immunotoxic to humans and animals, mainly for marine life. Recently, a tetracationic box-shaped cyclophane (ExBox4+) was synthesized, fully characterized, and revealed to form host-guest complexes with PAHs in acetonitrile, demonstrating the potential ability for it to act as a PAHs scavenger. This work investigates, through Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, the binding affinity between different PAHs and ExBox4+ in different solvents: chloroform (nonpolar), acetonitrile (polar protic), and water (polar protic). An alchemical method of simultaneous decoupling-recoupling (SDR) was used and implemented in a newly developed Python program called GHOAT, which fully automates the calculation of binding free energies and invokes the AMBER 2020 simulation package. The results showed that the affinity between ExBox4+ and PAHs in water is much larger than in organic media, with free energies between -5 and -20 kcal/mol, being able to act as a PHAs scavenger with great potential for applications in environmental chemistry such as soil washing. The results also reveal a significant correlation with the experimental available ΔG values. The methodology employed presents itself as an important tool for the in silico determination of binding affinities, not only available for charged cyclophanes but also extensible to several other HG supramolecular systems in condensed media, aiding in the rational design of host-guest systems in a significant way.

Elucidating the Aromatic Properties of Covalent Organic Frameworks Surface for Enhanced Polar Solvent Adsorption. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13111861.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have a distinguished surface as they are mostly made by boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. Many applications of COFs rely on polarity, size, charge, stability and hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of their surface. In this study, two frequently used COFs sheets, COF-1 and covalent triazine-based frameworks (CTF-1), are studied. In addition, a theoretical porous graphene (TPG) was included for comparison purposes. The three solid sheets were investigated for aromaticity and stability using quantum mechanics calculations and their ability for water and ethanol adsorption using molecular dynamics simulations. COF-1 demonstrated the poorest aromatic character due to the highest energy delocalization interaction between B–O bonding orbital of sigma type and unfilled valence-shell nonbonding of boron. CTF-1 was identified as the least kinetically stable and the most chemically reactive. Both COF-1 and CTF-1 showed good surface properties for selective adsorption of water via hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. Among the three sheets, TPG’s surface was mostly affected by aromatic currents and localized π electrons on the phenyl rings which in turn made it the best platform for selective adsorption of ethanol via van der Waals interactions. These results can serve as guidelines for future studies on solvent adsorption for COFs materials.

Abstract
We investigated the reliability of ab initio methods to predict the binding energies of molecular encapsulation complexes. Vast possibilities for the docking conformations were screened down to a couple of geometries using a semiempirical docking simulation. For the candidates, we applied density functional theory (DFT) with several exchange-correlation (XC) functionals to evaluate the binding energy. We carefully selected and compared the functionals to elucidate the role of the characteristic factors in achieving the XC effects. It is clarified that the improper combination in XC with D3 dispersion force correction leads to overbinding. For achieving a proper combination, the exchange interaction over the longer range to avoid the overbinding was found to be important.

Abstract
The interaction of two neutral alkoxy bridged binuclear rhenium(I) complexes, 1 and 2 [{Re(CO)3(1,4-NVP)}2(μ2-OR)2] (1, R = C4H9; 2, R = C10H21; 1,4-NVP = 4-(1-naphthylvinyl)pyridine] with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) is investigated. UV-vis absorption, emission, 1H NMR spectral titrations, TCSPC lifetime studies and DFT theoretical calculations were carried out to examine the binding responses of complexes 1 and 2 with various PAHs such as pyrene, naphthalene, anthracene and phenanthrene. The UV-Vis absorption spectra showed an increase in absorbance of the metal-to ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) and ligand centered (LC) bands upon addition of various PAH molecules to 1 and 2, whereas the emission behavior was found to show emission quenching, which might occur through energy transfer pathway. The binding constants (K) of complexes 1 and 2 for various PAHs are found to be in the order of 104 M-1 with a 1:1 binding mode, as determined from UV-vis absorption and emission spectral titration studies. 1H NMR spectral studies show that the chemical shifts of pyrene guest and the 1,4-NVP moiety of 2 are shifted up-field, whilst the alkoxy protons do not show any appreciable change in their chemical shifts. It is believed that the open cavities present in the Re(I) complexes may lead to the recognition of PAHs via CH···π interaction.

Abstract
Acting as hosts, cationic cyclophanes, consisting of π-electron-poor bipyridinium units, are capable of entering into strong donor-acceptor interactions to form host-guest complexes with various guests when the size and electronic constitution are appropriately matched. A synthetic protocol has been developed that utilizes catalytic quantities of tetrabutylammonium iodide to make a wide variety of cationic pyridinium-based cyclophanes in a quick and easy manner. Members of this class of cationic cyclophanes with boxlike geometries, dubbed Ex(n)Boxm(4+) for short, have been prepared by altering a number of variables: (i) n, the number of "horizontal" p-phenylene spacers between adjoining pyridinium units, to modulate the "length" of the cavity; (ii) m, the number of "vertical" p-phenylene spacers, to modulate the "width" of the cavity; and (iii) the aromatic linkers, namely, 1,4-di- and 1,3,5-trisubstituted units for the construction of macrocycles (ExBoxes) and macrobicycles (ExCages), respectively. This Account serves as an exploration of the properties that emerge from these structural modifications of the pyridinium-based hosts, coupled with a call for further investigation into the wealth of properties inherent in this class of compounds. By variation of only the aforementioned components, the role of these cationic receptors covers ground that spans (i) synthetic methodology, (ii) extraction and sequestration, (iii) catalysis, (iv) molecular electronics, (v) physical organic chemistry, and (vi) supramolecular chemistry. Ex(1)Box(4+) (or simply ExBox(4+)) has been shown to be a multipurpose receptor capable of binding a wide range of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), while also being a suitable component in switchable mechanically interlocked molecules. Additionally, the electronic properties of some host-guest complexes allow the development of artificial photosystems. Ex(2)Box(4+) boasts the ability to bind both π-electron-rich and -poor aromatic guests in different binding sites located within the same cavity. ExBox2(4+) forms complexes with C60 in which discrete arrays of aligned fullerenes result in single cocrystals, leading to improved material conductivities. When the substitution pattern of the Ex(n)Box(4+) series is changed to 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzenoid cores, the hexacationic cagelike compound, termed ExCage(6+), exhibits different kinetics of complexation with guests of varying sizes-a veritable playground for physical organic chemists. The organization of functionality with respect to structure becomes valuable as the number of analogues continues to grow. With each of these minor structural modifications, a wealth of properties emerge, begging the question as to what discoveries await and what properties will be realized with the continued exploration of this area of supramolecular chemistry based on a unique class of receptor molecules.

Abstract
A recently published theoretical approach employing a nondynamic structure model using dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D3) to calculate equilibrium free energies of association (Chem. – Eur. J., 2012, 18, 9955–9964) is illustrated by its application to eight supramolecular complexes.
