Popis: The conformational preferences for the chelate ring formed by 1,3-diaminopropane in its octahedral mono, bis, and tris complexes have been studied by a priori calculations of conformational energies. The chair conformation was found to be the most stable for each of the compounds studied. The minimum energy geometries were found to agree well with the solid state structures determined by X-ray crystallography. The lowest energy pathway for converting one chair conformation into the other possible chair conformation was similarly studied, and the barrier of activation was calculated to be of the order of 7 kcal mol-1.
