Coordination-driven self-assembly of truncated tetrahedra capable of encapsulating 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene.

ABSTRACT: The design and synthesis of coordinative truncated tetrahedra is described. The coordination-driven self-assembly of a truncated tetrahedron was achieved using 90° organoplatinum acceptors and a hexapyridyl ligand with six-fold symmetry under mild conditions. This tetrahedron can act as a host toward 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene. The truncated tetrahedral structures and the host-guest complex were identified using multinuclear ((31)P and (1)H) NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallography, and pulsed-field-gradient spin-echo NMR, along with computational simulations.

Multicomponent supramolecular systems: self-organization in coordination-driven self-assembly.

Project description:The self-organization of multicomponent supramolecular systems involving a variety of two-dimensional (2 D) polygons and three-dimensional (3 D) cages is presented. Nine self-organizing systems, SS(1)-SS(9), have been studied. Each involves the simultaneous mixing of organoplatinum acceptors and pyridyl donors of varying geometry and their selective self-assembly into three to four specific 2 D (rectangular, triangular, and rhomboid) and/or 3 D (triangular prism and distorted and nondistorted trigonal bipyramidal) supramolecules. The formation of these discrete structures is characterized using NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). In all cases, the self-organization process is directed by: 1) the geometric information encoded within the molecular subunits and 2) a thermodynamically driven dynamic self-correction process. The result is the selective self-assembly of multiple discrete products from a randomly formed complex. The influence of key experimental variables--temperature and solvent--on the self-correction process and the fidelity of the resulting self-organization systems is also described.

Coordination-driven self-assembly of three-dimensional supramolecular dendrimers.

Project description:The design and synthesis of novel three-dimensional (3-D) supramolecular dendrimers is described. The coordination-driven self-assembly of a 120 degrees diplatinum acceptor and tritopic pyridyl donors bearing [G-0]-[G-3] Fréchet-type dendrons results in a series of supramolecular dendrimers under mild conditions, possessing a robust adamantanoid core of well-defined shape and size. The assemblies were identified using multinuclear ((31)P and (1)H) NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, as well as pulsed-field-gradient spin-echo (PGSE) NMR measurement together with computational simulations. Isotopically resolved mass spectral data support the existence of the [6 + 4] assembly of adamantanoid dendrimers, and the NMR results are consistent with the formation of these symmetrical assemblies. PGSE NMR measurements together with MMFF force-field modeling clearly reveal the structural feature of the 3-D supramolecular dendrimers with varying sizes.

Construction of multifunctional cuboctahedra via coordination-driven self-assembly.

Project description:We present a general strategy for the synthesis of stable, multifunctional cuboctahedral complexes in which coordination-driven self-assembly allows for precise control over positioning of either ferrocene or crown ether functionalities. The appropriate stoichiometric combination of functionalized 120 degree diplatinum acceptor units with tritopic donor units afforded supramolecular cuboctahedra with covalently linked functional groups. The compounds are characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and electrochemistry.

Introduction of heterofunctional groups onto molecular hexagons via coordination-driven self-assembly.

Project description:The design and synthesis of two new heterofunctional hexagons containing both redox-active ferrocenyl and host-guest crown ether functionalities has been achieved via coordination-driven self-assembly. The size and relative distribution of functional groups on the supramolecular metallacycles can be precisely controlled. The host-guest recognition properties of the crown ether moieties and their ability to complex cationic guests to form tris[2]pseudorotaxane complexes have been investigated. The electronic properties of the ferrocenyl moieties have been obtained through electrochemical studies. The functional moieties are shown to operate orthogonally, resulting in discrete supramolecular hexagons that are capable of carrying out a variety of functions both simultaneously and independently.

Coordination-Driven Self-Assembly of Triazole-Based Apoptosis-Inducible Metallomacrocycles.

Project description:Ru(II)-metallomacrocycles containing 4-pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole moiety were realized by coordination-driven self-assembly. All new compounds were characterized by electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques. The molecular structure of metallomacrocycle 8 was determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The anticancer activities of metallomacrocycles 5-8 were evaluated by cytotoxicity, cell cycle analysis, and related protein expression. Metallomacrocycle 7 showed the highest cytotoxicity in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. In addition, apoptotic HepG2 cells were analyzed when metallomacrocycle 7 was treated. Our results suggest that metallomacrocycle 7 induces liver cancer cell death by increasing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest and that it has potential use as an agent for the treatment of human hepatocellular carcinoma.

Adsorption of Helium and Hydrogen on Triphenylene and 1,3,5-Triphenylbenzene.

Project description:The adsorption of helium or hydrogen on cationic triphenylene (TPL, C18H12), a planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecule, and of helium on cationic 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene (TPB, C24H18), a propeller-shaped PAH, is studied by a combination of high-resolution mass spectrometry and classical and quantum computational methods. Mass spectra indicate that HenTPL+ complexes are particularly stable if n = 2 or 6, in good agreement with the quantum calculations that show that for these sizes, the helium atoms are strongly localized on either side of the central carbon ring for n = 2 and on either side of the three outer rings for n = 6. Theory suggests that He14TPL+ is also particularly stable, with the helium atoms strongly localized on either side of the central and outer rings plus the vacancies between the outer rings. For HenTPB+, the mass spectra hint at enhanced stability for n = 2, 4 and, possibly, 11. Here, the agreement with theory is less satisfactory, probably because TPB+ is a highly fluxional molecule. In the global energy minimum, the phenyl groups are rotated in the same direction, but when the zero-point harmonic correction is included, a structure with one phenyl group being rotated opposite to the other two becomes lower in energy. The energy barrier between the two isomers is very small, and TPB+ could be in a mixture of symmetric and antisymmetric states, or possibly even vibrationally delocalized.

Fusion of two homoleptic truncated tetrahedra into a heteroleptic truncated octahedron.

Project description:The exploration of novel structures and structural transformation of supramolecular assemblies is of vital importance for their functions and applications. Herein, based on coordination-driven self-assembly, we prepare a neutral truncated tetrahedron and a heteroleptic truncated octahedron, whose structures are unambiguously confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. More importantly, the truncated tetrahedron is quantitatively transformed into the truncated octahedron through its fusion with another cationic truncated tetrahedron, as evidenced by fluorescence, mass and NMR spectroscopy. This study not only deepens our understanding of the process of supramolecular fusion but also opens up possibilities for the subsequent preparation of advanced supramolecular assemblies with complex structures and integrated functions.

Metallosupramolecular tetragonal prisms via multicomponent coordination-driven template-free self-assembly.

Project description:We present a general strategy for the synthesis of stable 3-D metallosupramolecular tetragonal prisms in which multicomponent coordination-driven self-assembly allows for single supramolecular species to be formed. The appropriate stoichiometric combination of a tetraphenylethylene-based tetratopic donor (1), a linear dipyridine donor (2), and a 90 degrees platinum metal complex (3) affords tetragonal prisms (4) as single products. The compounds have been characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The size of the supramolecules was determined by pulsed-gradient spin-echo NMR and modeled with molecular force field simulation methods.

Second-order self-organization in coordination-driven self-assembly: exploring the limits of self-selection.

Project description:Self-organization during the self-assembly of a series of functionalized bispyridyl organic donors with complementary di-Pt(II) acceptors into supramolecular rhomboids and rectangles is explored. The connectivity and location of functional groups on the organic donors ensures that they do not interfere sterically or electronically with their respective binding sites. Carefully controlled reaction conditions are employed so that the only means of self-organization during self-assembly is through "second-order" effects arising from the distal functional groups themselves. With the selection of functionalized systems studied, the extent of second-order self-organization varies from essentially zero to quite pronounced.
