Abstract
The advantageous
property of water-soluble calixarenes is their ability to form stable complexes
with inorganic guest molecules. Due to these attributes, their application in
areas including molecular recognition, sensing, and supramolecular chemistry is
extraordinarily alluring. The 4-sulfocalix[4]arene (SC[4]) is a
water-soluble molecule and a derivative of the calixarene family that has both
aromatic rings and sulfonate groups. The thin films were prepared using a
spin-coating technique and characterised by Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy
(UV-Vis). By employing the Corey-Pauling-Koltun (CPK) model in conjunction with
density functional theory (DFT), the height and diameter of SC[4] were
precisely determined by devotedly representing its molecular shape and size.
Then, the calixarene thin film’s optical properties and light absorption by the
thin film were determined using the absorbance graph and Beer-Lambert law
equation. The band gap energy of the thin film was determined to be equal to
4.44 eV through the Tauc-plot method. These results substantiate the integration
of CPK models validated using DFT for measuring the size of SC[4] molecules and
characterising the thin film’s optical characteristics. In a nutshell, the
implementation of the CPK models was validated with DFT to determine the height
and diameter of the SC[4] and the optical characterisation of its thin film was
thoroughly determined in this study. The results obtained from this study are
not only essential for understanding the properties of SC [4] but also inspire
further research for multiple applications such as molecular recognition,
adsorption and supramolecular chemistry.

Abstrak
Antara manfaat kaliksarena
larut air ialah keupayaan dan kemampuannya untuk membentuk kompleks yang stabil
dengan molekul tetamu bukan organik. Disebabkan sifat ini, penggunaannya dalam
pelbagai bidang termasuk pengecaman molekul, penderiaan dan kimia supramolekul
amat menarik perhatian untuk dikaji. 4-sulfokaliks[4]arena (SC[4]) adalah
molekul larut air dan terbitan daripada keluarga kaliksarena yang mempunyai
cincin aromatik dan kumpulan sulfonat dan selaput nipisnya difabrikasi
menggunakan teknik salutan berputar dan dicirikan dengan Spektroskopi Cahaya
Tampak-Ultralembayung (UV-Vis). Dengan menggunakan Model Corey-Pauling-Koltun
(CPK) dan disahkan bersama dengan teori kefungsian ketumpatan (DFT), ketinggian
dan diameter SC[4] ditentukan dengan tepat dalam melambangkan bentuk dan saiz
molekulnya secara nyata dan realistik. Kemudian, sifat optik selaput nipis
kaliksarena dan penyerapan cahaya oleh selaput nipis tersebut ditentukan
menggunakan graf penyerapan dan persamaan Hukum Beer-Lambert. Jurang
jalur selaput nipis ditentukan bersamaan dengan 4.44 eV melalui kaedah plot
Tauc. Hasil keputusan kajian ini telah mengesahkan integrasi model CPK yang
disahkan menggunakan DFT untuk mengukur saiz molekul SC[4] dan mencerap ciri
optik selaput nipisnya. Secara ringkasnya, pelaksanaan model CPK disahkan
dengan DFT untuk menentukan ketinggian dan diameter SC[4] dan pencirian optik
selaput nipisnya telah ditentukan dengan teliti dalam kajian ini. Hasil yang
diperoleh daripada kajian ini penting kerana boleh digunakan dalam penyelidikan
lanjut untuk pelbagai aplikasi seperti pengecaman molekul, penjerapan dan kimia
supramolekul.
