Abstract

In an attempt to account for the preferential binding to nonactin of K^+^ relative to Na^+^, theoretical computations are performed using the intermolecular interaction energies of the ionophore with the two cations. Both K^+^ and Na^+^ liganding conformations are considered, and an evaluation is made of the intramolecular energy expenditure caused by the reduction of the size of the cavity. The energy balance for the complexation of the two cations computed by taking into account the cation–ionophore interactions, the interactions between the liganding groups, as well as the desolvation enthalpies of the cations in methanol, favors K^+^ over Na^+^ by 4 to 5 kcal/mol, in fair agreement with the difference in the measured enthalpies of binding. The binding of NH to nonactin is also investigated.

A theoretical study of the reduction of the TiO, (001) rutile surface by atomic Na is reported. The study is based on ab initio embedded cluster calculations carried out for two different sites of this surface. The first one (A) is represented by a TiO$-cluster and the second (B), an oxygen ending s
