Density functional theory (B3LYP/LANL2DZp) calculations on the structures and complex formation energies were performed to predict the alkali and alkaline earth ion selectivity of the cryptands 1,4,7,10,13,16,21,24-octaazabicyclo(8.8.8)hexacosane (N2N2N2) 1, 3,6,10,13,16,19-hexaazabicyclo(6.6.6)icosane (sarcophagine) 2 and 1,3,6,8,10,13,16,19-octaazabicyclo(6.6.6)icosane (sepulchrate) 3. Compounds 2 and 3 favour binding of Li+ and Mg2+ and exhibit a cavity size similar to [2.1.1], whereas cryptand 1 has a cavity size similar to [2.2.2] and prefers the selective binding of K+ and Ba2+. The cryptand flexibility of 1 is attributed mainly to the groups adjacent to the bridgehead nitrogens, whereas the main guiding feature for the flexibility of 2 and 3 can be traced back to the coordination of the ethylenediamine spacer.

The selectivity of the cryptands [2.2.bpy] and [2.bpy.bpy] for the endohedral complexation of alkali, alkaline-earth and earth metal ions was predicted on the basis of the DFT (B3LYP/LANL2DZp) calculated structures and complex-formation energies. The cavity size in both cryptands lay between that for [2.2.2] and [bpy.bpy.bpy], such that the complexation of K+, Sr2+ and Tl3+ is most favorable. While the [2.2.bpy] is moderately larger, preferring Rb+ complexation and demonstrating equal priority for Sr2+ and Ba2+, the slightly smaller [2.bpy.bpy] yields more stable cryptates with Na+ and Ca2+. Although the CH2-units containing molecular bars fixed at the bridgehead nitrogen atoms determine the flexibility of the cryptands, the twist angles associated with the bipyridine and glycol building blocks also contribute considerably.

Full quantum chemical calculations with density functional theory (DFT) show that bond-strengthening back-donation to a π-diborene, recently discovered for transition metal systems (Braunschweig and co-workers, Nat. Chem., 2013, 5, 115–121), would be just as favored for Main Group silylene complexes.

This article describes the synthesis and tautomerism of 2- (4,6-dioxo-1,3,5-triazinan-2-ylidene) hydrazinecarboxyamide. The synthesized compound was investigated using elemental analysis methods, and quantum chemical calculations performed in ChemCraft 1.8 and Gaussian programs. Composite methods of the Gaussian family (G4) and density functional theory (DFT) methods (BLYP / 6-311 + G (d, p)) were used. The data obtained indicate that the BLYP / 6-311 + G (d, p) well suited for describing such systems in order to save 66 machine resources. Based on the calculated resistance series, it was established that the main form is diketoenolform.
