Cation– π or cation–2 π interactions generally exist between one cation and one or two electron-rich π -ring, which play an important role in many areas (such as benzene, borazine, aromatic rings, graphene and carbon nanotubes). Here, we report the interaction of M-BZ, M( H 2 O )-BZ, M-2BZ and M( H 2 O )-2BZ ( BZ = borazine , M = Li + , Na + , K + , Mg 2 + , Ca 2 + ) at the B3LYP-D3/TZ2P levels of theory. We found that the interaction energy decreases as the radii of the cations increase. The total interaction energy was decomposed into the dispersion correction, Pauli repulsion, electrostatic interaction and orbital interaction by using energy decomposition analysis. In addition, the binding energy of M-BZ (2BZ) is similar to that of M-benzene (2benzene), indicating the special importance of M-BZ (2BZ) interaction in biological system. From the extended transition state scheme with the theory of natural orbitals for chemical valence, the first dominant deformation densities plot shown the flow of charge between the fragments, which mean the BZ is π donation and cation (M( H 2 O )) is σ or π acceptor.
