Impact of mechanical bonding on the redox-switching of tetrathiafulvalene in crown ether-ammonium [2]rotaxanes.

ABSTRACT: Switchable crown ether-ammonium [2]rotaxanes with a redox-active tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) unit implemented in their wheels were synthesised and fully characterised. Reversible operation in two modes is possible, in which the [2]rotaxane's axle is either charged or neutral. Cyclic voltammetry experiments reveal the effects of mechanical bonding on the electrochemical properties of TTF and show the [2]rotaxanes to perform a distinct function in both modes. In the charged mode, redox-switching is dominated by strong electrostatic repulsion in the [2]rotaxane which subsequently leads to a macrocycle translation along the axle. In the non-charged mode, a selective energetic stabilisation of TTF radical cations is observed, which can be attributed to an interplay of weak electrostatic interactions between wheel and axle.

Crown Ether Host-Rotaxanes as Cytotoxic Agents.

Project description:Highly toxic bacterial ionophores are commonly used in veterinary medicine, but their therapeutic index is too narrow for human usage. With the goal of developing ionophores with a broader therapeutic index, we constructed highly derivatized synthetic ionophores. The toxicities of crown ether host-rotaxanes (CEHR's) against the SKOV-3 cell line were measured. The effect of Mg2+ or Ca2+ on toxicity was explored because changes in the intracellular concentration of these cations can cause cell death through apoptosis. We found Boc-CEHR is highly toxic and Arg-CEHR is slightly less toxic with IC50 values of 0.5 ?M and 6 ?M, respectively, in standard growth medium. Increasing the concentration of Ca2+ resulted in greater toxicity of the CEHRs, whereas increasing the concentration of Mg2+ was less effective on reducing IC50. Cell death occurs mainly through apoptosis. Although preliminary, these results suggest that the CEHRs deliver Ca2+ and perhaps Mg2+ into cells inducing apoptosis.

Thermodynamic and electrochemical study of tailor-made crown ethers for redox-switchable (pseudo)rotaxanes.

Project description:Crown ethers are common building blocks in supramolecular chemistry and are frequently applied as cation sensors or as subunits in synthetic molecular machines. Developing switchable and specifically designed crown ethers enables the implementation of function into molecular assemblies. Seven tailor-made redox-active crown ethers incorporating tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) or naphthalene diimide (NDI) as redox-switchable building blocks are described with regard to their potential to form redox-switchable rotaxanes. A combination of isothermal titration calorimetry and voltammetric techniques reveals correlations between the binding energies and redox-switching properties of the corresponding pseudorotaxanes with secondary ammonium ions. For two different weakly coordinating anions, a surprising relation between the enthalpic and entropic binding contributions of the pseudorotaxanes was discovered. These findings were applied to the synthesis of an NDI-[2]rotaxane, which retains similar spectroelectrochemical properties compared to the corresponding free macrocycle. The detailed understanding of the thermodynamic and electrochemical properties of the tailor-made crown ethers lays the foundation for the construction of new types of molecular redox switches with emergent properties.

A redox-active inorganic crown ether based on a polyoxometalate capsule.

Project description:Cation-uptake has been long researched as an important topic in materials science. Herein we focus on a molecular crystal composed of a charge-neutral polyoxometalate (POM) capsule [MoVI72FeIII30O252(H2O)102(CH3CO2)15]3+ encapsulating a Keggin-type phosphododecamolybdate anion [α-PMoVI12O40]3-. Cation-coupled electron-transfer reaction occurs by treating the molecular crystal in an aqueous solution containing CsCl and ascorbic acid as a reducing reagent. Specifically, multiple Cs+ ions and electrons are captured in crown-ether-like pores {MoVI3FeIII3O6}, which exist on the surface of the POM capsule, and Mo atoms, respectively. The locations of Cs+ ions and electrons are revealed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and density functional theory studies. Highly selective Cs+ ion uptake is observed from an aqueous solution containing various alkali metal ions. Cs+ ions can be released from the crown-ether-like pores by the addition of aqueous chlorine as an oxidizing reagent. These results show that the POM capsule functions as an unprecedented "redox-active inorganic crown ether", clearly distinguished from the non-redox-active organic counterpart.

Mechanical Bond Enhanced Lithium Halide Ion-Pair Binding by Halogen Bonding Heteroditopic Rotaxanes.

Project description:A family of novel halogen bonding (XB) and hydrogen bonding (HB) heteroditopic [2]rotaxane host systems constructed by active metal template (AMT) methodology, were studied for their ability to cooperatively recognise lithium halide (LiX) ion-pairs. 1 H NMR ion-pair titration experiments in CD3 CN:CDCl3 solvent mixtures revealed a notable "switch-on" of halide anion binding in the presence of a co-bound lithium cation, with rotaxane hosts demonstrating selectivity for LiBr over LiI. The strength of halide binding was shown to greatly increase with increasing number of halogen bond donors integrated into the interlocked cavity, where an all-XB rotaxane was found to be the most potent host for LiBr. DFT calculations corroborated these findings, determining the mode of LiX ion-pair binding. Notably, ion-pair binding was not observed with the corresponding XB/HB macrocycles alone, highlighting the cooperative, heteroditopic, rotaxane axle-macrocycle component mechanical bond effect as an efficient strategy for ion-pair recognition in general.

Urea-Based [2]Rotaxanes as Effective Phase-Transfer Organocatalysts: Hydrogen-Bonding Cooperative Activation Enabled by the Mechanical Bond.

Project description:We finely designed a set of [2]rotaxanes with urea threads and tested them as hydrogen-bonding phase-transfer catalysts in two different nucleophilic substitutions requiring the activation of the reactant fluoride anion. The [2]rotaxane bearing a fluorinated macrocycle and a fluorine-containing urea thread displayed significantly enhanced catalytic activity in comparison with the combination of both noninterlocked components. This fact highlights the notably beneficial role of the mechanical bond, cooperatively activating the processes through hydrogen-bonding interactions.

Triangular cyclic rotaxanes: Size, fluctuations, and switching properties.

Project description:We examine one of the simplest cyclic rotaxanes-a molecule made from three rods with variable length between 0 and L. This [3]rotaxane, unlike a traditional molecule, shows significant size and shape fluctuations. We quantify these using a number of different measures. In particular, we show that the average angles are [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] and the most populated lengths lie at [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] The triangles are usually obtuse. We discuss the area allowed within the triangle for inclusion compounds. Inspired by the linear rotaxane switches, we also consider the statistical mechanics of switching when stations with attractive interactions promote small-cycle areas.

Effect of Crown Ether Ring Size on Binding and Fluorescence Response to Saxitoxin in Anthracylmethyl Monoaza Crown Ether Chemosensors.

Project description:Convenient macrocyclization synthetic routes for the preparation of different-sized monoaza anthracylmethyl crown ether chemsensors (15-crown-5, 18-crown-6, 21-crown-7, 24-crown-8 and 27-crown-9) are described. Evaluation of these crowns as chemosensors for saxitoxin revealed that the larger crowns have moderately higher binding constants, with the 27-crown-9 chemosensor having the largest binding constant: 2.29×10(5) M(-1). Fluorescence enhancements of 100% were observed at saxitoxin concentrations of 5 ?M, which is close to the detection limit in mouse bioassay.

Porphyrinoid rotaxanes: building a mechanical picket fence.

Project description:Building on recent progress in the synthesis of functional porphyrins for a range of applications using the Cu-mediated azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction, we describe the active template CuAAC synthesis of interlocked triazole functionalised porphyrinoids in excellent yield. By synthesising interlocked analogues of previously studied porphyrin-corrole conjugates, we demonstrate that this approach gives access to rotaxanes in which the detailed electronic properties of the axle component are unchanged but whose steric properties are transformed by the mechanical "picket fence" provided by the threaded rings. Our results suggest that interlocked functionalised porphyrins, readily available using the AT-CuAAC approach, are sterically hindered scaffolds for the development of new catalysts and materials.

Synthesis and Properties of Norphthalocyanines Functionalized with a Tetrathiacrown Ether-Tetrathiafulvalene Substituent.

Project description:To construct novel ion receptors and D-A self-assembly systems for materials with better functions, the annulation of a tetrathiafulvalene donor with a magnesium norphthalocyanine core via a flexible tetrathiacrown ether bridge afforded a new triad 1. The structure of this product was characterized by 1H NMR and infrared spectroscopy, time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The optical and electrochemical properties were investigated using UV-vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The complex of triad 1 and 2,3,5,6- tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane produced electron transfer with a radical cationic character, as confirmed by UV-Vis and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis. Furthermore, the target compound presented evident intramolecular charge-transfer interactions in ground states, which were explained using density functional theory. Furthermore, norphthalocyanine 1 was able to coordinate Ag+ through the peripheral ligating oxathiaether crown.

DNA Origami Rotaxanes: Tailored Synthesis and Controlled Structure Switching.

Project description:Mechanically interlocked supramolecular assemblies are appealing building blocks for creating functional nanodevices. Herein, we describe the multistep assembly of large DNA origami rotaxanes that are capable of programmable structural switching. We validated the topology and structural integrity of these rotaxanes by analyzing the intermediate and final products of various assembly routes by electrophoresis and electron microscopy. We further analyzed two structure-switching behaviors of our rotaxanes, which are both mediated by DNA hybridization. In the first mechanism, the translational motion of the macrocycle can be triggered or halted at either terminus. In the second mechanism, the macrocycle can be elongated after completion of the rotaxane assembly, giving rise to a unique structure that is otherwise difficult to access.
