摘要
[GRAPHICS] "Tennis ball" and "softball" are spherical dimeric molecules held together by hydrogen bonds yet able to exchange guest molecules. Mechanisms of guest exchange were explored with AMBER* force field calculations. The "one-door" S(N)1 and the "side-door" S(N)2 gating mechanisms are predicted for guest exchanges in the "softball", while a dissociation mechanism is predicted for the "tennis ball". Entropy changes have an important influence on the guest exchange mechanisms.
