Abstract

Anions perform several important functions in biological processes. Thus, structures that are able to interact with anions are of great relevance. Here, light is shed on the main characteristics of the bonds between the anions chloride (Cl-), bromide (Br-) and nitrite (NO2-) and the -CH groups of trioxane structures non-substituted and polarized by the ligands (i) -CH3, (ii) -CH2Cl, (iii) -CHCl2, and (iv) -CCl3. There is a less attractive recognition of the anions Cl-, Br- and NO2- using trioxane substituted by the -CH3 groups compared to the receptors non-substituted due to the destabilization of the electrostatic interactions C-HMIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS(Cl-, Br- and NO2-). The presence of electron withdrawing groups in the receptor structure improves the interaction with the anions through more favorable sigma bonds between the -CH groups and anions Cl-, Br- and NO2-. The anion NO2- is recognized with (i) more favorable and (ii) similar energy and rate by receptors containing (i) -CH3 and (ii) -CH2Cl, -CHCl2 or -CCl3, compared to anions Cl- and Br-. The lower values of the Pauli repulsion contribution in receptorsMIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSISCl- bonds when compared to the interactions receptorsMIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSISBr- explain the more favorable recognition of the anion Cl- in relation to Br-. The larger recognition rate of the anion Cl- regarding to anion Br- is determined by more favorable electrostatic and orbital interactions. These data provide relevant information about the recognition of anions using C-H bonds and can be used to guide the development of new receptors. (AU)
