摘要

The cooperativity effects between the O/N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen-bonding and Na+center dot center dot center dot O cation-molecule interactions in the 1: 2 (Na+: N-(Hydroxymethyl) acetamide) systems were investigated at the B3LYP/6-311++ G**, MP2(full)/6-311++ G** and MP2(full)/aug-cc-pvtz levels. The thermodynamic cooperativity calculations were also carried out for two pathways of the ternary-complex formation. The result shows that, in most ternary complexes, the O/N-H center dot center dot center dot O and Na+center dot center dot center dot O interactions are weakened in comparison with those in binary systems, leading to the anti-cooperativity effects, in particular in the complexes in which only the Na+center dot center dot center dot O interactions exist. Shifts of electron density confirm the existence of anti-cooperativity. The increase of favorable enthalpic contribution leads to the positive cooperativity effect with negative. G(coop) on forming the ternary complex by initial N-(Hydroxymethyl) acetamide dimer followed by addition of Na+. In forming the ternary complex by Na+ N-(Hydroxymethyl) acetamide with the second N-(Hydroxymethyl) acetamide unit, the large unfavorable entropy change leads to the negative cooperativity effect with positive. Delta G(coop). The ternary complex is more easily formed by the pathway in which Na+ binds to N-(Hydroxymethyl) acetamide dimer.
