Abstract: | It is demonstrated that the introduction of p-tert-butyl groups dramatically influences the conformational behaviour of the mercaptothiacalix4]arene molecules. Quantum-chemical
computations in combination with IR and NMR spectroscopy prove that, in contrast to closely related calixarenes, the 1,3-alternate becomes a dominant conformer of p-tert-butyl-mercaptothiacalix4]arene not only in crystal, but also in solutions and in vacuum. It is shown that the title molecules
form essentially non-cooperative intramolecular hydrogen bonds: their SH groups are intramolecularly H-bonded solely to the
sulfide groups bridging thiophenolic units. The enthalpy of this bonding, evaluated from Iogansen’s rule, amounts to ca. 1.5 kcal mol−1 per one SH···S bond, which about four times smaller than the enthalpies of cooperative intramolecular H-bonds formed by related
calixarenes and thiacalixarenes.
