Abstract

Complexes of 18-crown-6 with alkali-metal cations (Na+, K+, and Rb+), urea, and the uncomplexed crown ether were studied in vacuo with the molecular dynamics method. Conformational data from these calculations (simulation times in the range from 6-15 ns) was compared with information from the Cambridge Structural Database. Despite the differences in condition between the simulations and the solid state, a number of interesting similarities are observed.
