Thermodynamics of Supramolecular Associations with Macrocyclic Water-Soluble Hosts.

ABSTRACT: The thermodynamic study of the complexation of the ?-cyclodextrins and p-sulfonatocalix[n]arenes (CnS) with the 4-aminoazobenzene was reported and was carried out by molecular dynamics simulations. We determined the whole thermodynamic properties (K, ?r G°, ?r H°, and T?r S°) using the potential of mean force (PMF) technique and more precisely the adaptive biasing force method. Depending on both the nature of the host molecule and the pH of the solution, the PMF profiles present different shapes and energy minima. Considering the complexity of these PMF profiles, we are also interested in the structural properties of these associations. Hence, we calculated hydrogen bonds, Lennard-Jones and electrostatic energies, the number of atoms of the guest molecule inserted inside the cagelike host molecule, and the number of water molecules expelled from the cavity.

Iodocyclization in Aqueous Media and Supramolecular Reaction Control Using Water-Soluble Hosts.

Project description:Iodocyclization of 2-alkynylanisoles is an efficient route for synthesizing substituted benzofurans. Reaction efficiency with copper(II) sulfate and sodium iodide in an aqueous slurry under mild conditions is a manifold higher than in organic solvents. Water-soluble hosts of the cyclodextrin family solubilize the compounds in aqueous media and affect the reaction efficiency through conformation control and steric interactions. Computational chemistry and spectral titration provide information on the host-guest complex structure and insight into the mechanistic basis of the observed effects.

Supramolecular photosensitizers using extended macrocyclic hosts for photodynamic therapy with distinct cellular delivery.

Project description:The photosensitizers (PSs) for photodynamic therapy (PDT) mostly possess conjugated skeletons that are over-sized and poorly water-soluble to be encapsulated by conventional macrocyclic receptors. Herein, we report that two fluorescent hydrophilic cyclophanes, AnBox·4Cl and ExAnBox·4Cl, can effectively bind hypocrellin B (HB), a pharmaceutically active natural PS for PDT, with binding constants of the 107 level in aqueous solutions. The two macrocycles feature extended electron-deficient cavities and can be facilely synthesized through photo-induced ring expansions. The corresponding supramolecular PSs (HB⊂AnBox4+ and HB⊂ExAnBox4+) exhibit desirable stability, biocompatibility, and cellular delivery, as well as excellent PDT efficiency against cancer cells. In addition, living cell imaging results indicate that HB⊂AnBox4+ and HB⊂ExAnBox4+ have different delivery effects at the cellular level.

Separation of Low-Molecular-Weight Organics by Water-Soluble Macrocyclic Arenes.

Project description:In this study, we fabricate a series of water-soluble anionic macrocyclic arenes, including pillar[5]arene (WP5), pillar[6]arene (WP6), leaning pillar[6]arene (WLT6), and biphenyl-extended pillar[6]arene (WBpP6), which show different separation capabilities toward low-molecular-weight organics, such as short chain haloalkanes, cyclic aliphatics, and aromatics, in water. The liquid-liquid distribution experiments are carried out at room temperature. The separation factor for low-molecular-weight organics is evaluated in the extraction of equimolar mixtures. WP6 demonstrates a high extraction efficiency of up to 89% in separating toluene/methylcyclohexane mixtures. These adsorbents also have the advantages of rapid adsorption, high separation efficiency, remarkable selectivity, and good recyclability. This work not only expands the application scope of macrocyclic chemistry, but also has practical research value for organics separation and water purification.

Consequences of chirality on the dynamics of a water-soluble supramolecular polymer.

Project description:The rational design of supramolecular polymers in water is imperative for their widespread use, but the design principles for these systems are not well understood. Herein, we employ a multi-scale (spatial and temporal) approach to differentiate two analogous water-soluble supramolecular polymers: one with and one without a stereogenic methyl. Initially aiming simply to understand the molecular behaviour of these systems in water, we find that while the fibres may look identical, the introduction of homochirality imparts a higher level of internal order to the supramolecular polymer. Although this increased order does not seem to affect the basic dimensions of the supramolecular fibres, the equilibrium dynamics of the polymers differ by almost an order of magnitude. This report represents the first observation of a structure/property relationship with regard to equilibrium dynamics in water-soluble supramolecular polymers.

Binding Properties and Supramolecular Polymerization of a Water-Soluble Resorcin[4]arene.

Project description:Controlling the self-assembly of molecules in water is difficult because the small size, polarity, and hydrogen bond donating and accepting properties of water attenuate most non-covalent interactions. Here we describe how resorcinarene 1, with pyridinium pendent groups, assembles in water to form head-to-tail assemblies. These small supramolecular polymers form because they offer greater stabilization than any latent head-to-head assembly of resorcinarenes to form dimeric (or hexameric) containers. Instead, the resorcinarene bowl - particularly if negatively charged - is a good host for the pyridinium pendent groups of a second resorcinarene. Alternatively, resorcinarene 1 is also a good host for complexing anions and cations of any added salt. In combination therefore, host 1 possesses a rich repertoire of supramolecular properties that is dependent on the ionic strength and the nature of salts, pH, and the concentration of the host. These findings provide new information about controlling the self-assembly of resorcinarenes in water.

Vortex-induced alignment of a water soluble supramolecular nanofiber composed of an amphiphilic dendrimer.

Project description:We have synthesized a novel amphiphilic naphthalene imide bearing a cationic dendrimer wedge (NID). NID molecules in water self-assemble to form a two-dimensional ribbon, which further coils to give a linear supramolecular nanofiber. The sample solution showed linear dichroism (LD) upon stirring of the solution, where NID nanofibers dominantly align at the center of vortex by hydrodynamic interaction with the downward torsional flows.

CPL on/off control of an assembled system by water soluble macrocyclic chiral sources with planar chirality.

Project description:Herein, we report the synthesis and planar chiral properties of a pair of water-soluble cationic pillar[5]arenes with stereogenic carbons. Interestingly, although units of the molecules were rotatable, only one planar chiral diastereomer existed in water in both cases. As a new type of chiral source, these molecules transmitted chiral information from the planar chiral cavities to the assembly of a water-soluble extended π-conjugated compound, affording circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). The chirality transfer process and resulting CPL were extremely sensitive to the feed ratio of the chiral pillar[5]arenes owing to the combined action of their planar chirality, bulkiness, and strong binding properties. When a limited amount of chiral source was added, further assembly of the extended π-conjugated compound into helical fibers with CPL was triggered. Unexpectedly, larger amounts of chiral source destroyed the helical fiber assemblies, resulting in elimination of the chirality and CPL properties from the assembled structures.

Inhibition of histone binding by supramolecular hosts.

Project description:The tandem PHD (plant homeodomain) fingers of the CHD4 (chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 4) ATPase are epigenetic readers that bind either unmodified histone H3 tails or H3K9me3 (histone H3 trimethylated at Lys?). This dual function is necessary for the transcriptional and chromatin remodelling activities of the NuRD (nucleosome remodelling and deacetylase) complex. In the present paper, we show that calixarene-based supramolecular hosts disrupt binding of the CHD4 PHD2 finger to H3K9me3, but do not affect the interaction of this protein with the H3K9me0 (unmodified histone H3) tail. A similar inhibitory effect, observed for the association of chromodomain of HP1? (heterochromatin protein 1?) with H3K9me3, points to a general mechanism of methyl-lysine caging by calixarenes and suggests a high potential for these compounds in biochemical applications. Immunofluorescence analysis reveals that the supramolecular agents induce changes in chromatin organization that are consistent with their binding to and disruption of H3K9me3 sites in living cells. The results of the present study suggest that the aromatic macrocyclic hosts can be used as a powerful new tool for characterizing methylation-driven epigenetic mechanisms.

Environment-dependent guest exchange in supramolecular hosts.

Project description:Dynamic exchange of guest molecules, encapsulated in host assemblies, is a phenomenon in supramolecular chemistry that has important implications in several applications. While the mechanism of exchange in micellar assemblies has been previously investigated, the effect of host and guest environment upon the guest-exchange dynamics has received little attention, if any. In this paper, we study the guest-exchange mechanism in pH-sensitive nanogels along with pH-insensitive nanogels as a control. By systematically comparing the behavior of these nanogels, we show that size, concentration, and hydrophobicity can all play a critical role in guest-exchange dynamics. More importantly, these studies reveal that the dominant mechanism of guest exchange can intimately depend on environmental factors.
