The mechanism for the conformational conversion of 1,3-dioxane guest encapsulated inside a capsular host was theoretically investigated using semiempirical PM3 method and DFT methods. The free-state process of the conformational conversion of 1,3-dioxane was also investigated to make a comparison between the two different states using the same theory. The influences of the inner phase of the capsule on the conformational conversion of guest molecule were discussed via analyzing the comparative results. It was found that the capsular host could accommodate 1,3-dioxane within its cavity by the weak attractive interactions between host and guest, and it responds to the conformational conversion of guest by the deformation of hydrogen-bonding seam at the middle of the capsule. When entrapped in the capsule, the guest molecule undergoes the conformational conversion from chair form to twist-boat form slower than that under the free condition. The deformation of the capsule is favorable to maximize the attractive interactions between host and guest.
