Details of computational methods Software DFT calculations were performed using the Gaussian 09 software package,1 revision B.01 for geometry optimisation, revision D.01 for single point energy, frequency, and counterpoise correction calculations, running on 8-core Mac-Pro workstations and the Fujitsu cluster of the Australian National Computing Infrastructure National Facility. When necessary, preliminary energy minimisations using the MM2 force field method were performed using the ChemBioOffice Ultra 2010 Suite software package,2 ChemBio3D Ultra version 12.0, running on an Intel Quad-Core CPU at 3.50 GHz with 8 GB of RAM on a Windows 7 64-bit operating system. The molecular graphics were generated using the PyMOL Molecular Graphics System3 and Mercury4 software packages. The infrared spectra from the vibrational frequency calculations were generated using the Gabedit5 software, the infrared spectra line-shapes were convoluted using Lorentzian functions with a half-width at a half-maximum of 20 cm−1. Methodology All DFT calculations were performed using the default spin restricted closed shell wavefunctions. Calculations were performed on the free host and host‒guest complexes in vacuum unless otherwise stated and the default “fine” integration grid implemented in the Gaussian 09 software was employed throughout unless otherwise stated. Where calculations in 2 solvent are indicated, the self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) method, with the polarised continuum model (PCM)6, 7 method employing chloroform as solvent was implemented in Gaussian 09. For geometry optimisations and frequency calculations of the free host and host‒guest complexes, the hybrid PBE08 functional, PBE1PBE/6-31+G(d)9, polarisation and diffuse functions11, 12 10 level of theory, with was employed for all heavy elements. All geometry optimisations were performed using the default Berny optimisation algorithm (GEDIIS)13 with the default cut-offs employed, unless otherwise stated. All optimised geometries in vacuum converged to average RMS forces on all atoms within less than 9.2 × 10−6 a.u.; optimised geometries in chloroform (PCM) solvent environment converged to average RMS forces on all atoms within less than 1.8 × 10−5 a.u. All minimum energy structures for the free host and host‒ guest complexes were calculated without any symmetry constraints and were confirmed to be minima by calculating their normal vibrations within the harmonic approximation and observing that there were no imaginary frequencies. Geometry optimisations for minimised structures that showed negative frequencies were repeated using “tight” convergence criteria with the “ultrafine” integration grid implemented in Gaussian 09; this resulted in minimised structures which were negligibly different in geometry and energy with no imaginary frequencies. See Table S1 for the computational result summary. The input starting geometry for the quantum mechanical DFT geometry optimisation of the free host (H) was performed from the X‒ray crystal structure (CCDC#994170, available from the Cambridge Structural Database). The input geometry of the H•Cl− complex was generated by taking the X‒ray crystal structure of H and docking a chloride atom at the centre of the centrosymmetric host; similarly the H•2Cl− ternary complex was created from the X‒ray crystal 3 structure of H by adding two chloride atoms each at the isophthalamide anion binding sites, in the plane of the aromatic ring. From our previously reported cation NMR binding study results,14 it was apparent that the binding towards calcium cation induced significant structural perturbation to the folded-closed conformation of macrocyclic host, resulting in two different conformations for the 1:1 and 1:2 host‒guest calcium cation complexes. As was described previously,14 the initial input coordinates for H•Ca2+ complex was constructed by docking one calcium atom at the centre of the X‒ray crystal structure of H. This structure was preliminarily minimised using the MM2 force field method with either ten dummy bonds between the calcium atom and all the oxygen atoms, or with six dummy bonds between the calcium atom and the crown-6 oxygen atoms. The dummy bonds were removed from the two MM2 minimised structures and these were then used as input geometries for DFT geometry optimisation. Both input structures were fully optimised and the latter was computed with a lower total energy. The initial structure for the H•2Ca2+ complex was taken from the X‒ray crystal structure of H•2[Ca(ClO4)2]•4H2O complex (CCDC#994171, available from the Cambridge Structural Database), and the four counter-anions and four axial water ligands were removed before performing DFT geometry optimisation. Lastly, the input coordinates for the 2Ca2+•H•2Cl− quinary complex was obtained by taking the DFT minimised structures of H•2Ca2+ and adding two chloride atoms each at the isophthalamide anion binding sites, in the plane of the aromatic ring. See Section 3.1−3.10 below for the parameters and coordinates for all fully optimised structures. 4 Single point energy calculations for all the fully optimised structures were performed with the larger basis set, with polarisation and diffuse functions for both hydrogen and heavy atoms at the PBE1PBE/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. The computed energies used in the calculation of binding energy for all host‒guest systems in vacuum were corrected for the basis set superposition error (BSSE) using the counterpoise (CP)15 method implemented in Gaussian 09. In addition, the calculated BSSE energies in vacuum were used to implement CP corrections for the calculated energies in chloroform (PCM) solvent environment. Additional single point energy calculations for optimised structures of free host, H•Cl‒ and H•Ca2+ complexes were performed with a large 6-311++G(2df,2p) basis set using the hybrid functionals PBE1PBE,8 B3LYP16 and M06,17 and the dispersion-corrected density functionals B3LYP-GD3BJ18 and ωB97X-D.19 The chloroform solvent environment was applied in these calculations using a universal continuum solvation model (SMD).20 The computed energies used in the calculation of binding energy were CP corrected using BSSE energies obtained from calculation at the PBE1PBE/6-311++G(2df,2p) level of theory. Details on the computed energies for ∆E arithmetic calculations are given in Section 4 below. 5 2. Computational results summary Table S1.
