Abstract
By using quantum–mechanical DFT calculations, the most probable structure of the cucurbit[5]uril·H3O+ cationic complex species was derived. In this complex, the hydroxonium cation H3O+ is bound by one linear hydrogen bond and two bifurcated hydrogen bonds to the five corresponding carbonyl oxygens of the parent macrocyclic receptor. .
