Towards triptycene functionalization and triptycene-linked porphyrin arrays.

ABSTRACT: Herein, 9,10-diethynyltriptycene is investigated for its use as a rigid isolating unit in the synthesis of multichromophoric arrays. Sonogashira cross-coupling conditions are utilized to attach various porphyrins and boron dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs) to the triptycene scaffold. While there are previous examples of triptycene porphyrin complexes, this work reports the first example of a linearly connected porphyrin dimer, linked through the bridgehead carbons of triptycene. Symmetric and unsymmetric examples of these complexes are demonstrated and single crystal X-ray analysis of an unsymmetrically substituted porphyrin dimer highlights the evident linearity in these systems. Moreover, initial UV-vis and fluorescence studies show the promise of triptycene as a linker for electron transfer studies, showcasing its isolating nature.

Self-complementary double-stranded porphyrin arrays assembled from an alternating pyridyl-porphyrin sequence.

Project description:Oligomeric porphyrin arrays with an alternating pyridyl-porphyrin sequence were synthesized to explore double-strand formation through self-complementary pyridyl-to-zinc axial coordination bonds. Competitive titration experiments revealed the thermodynamic aspects involved in the zipper effect within double-strand formation. Multiple axial coordination bonds defined the stacked conformation, despite a marginal contribution to the stability of the double-strands. Thus, the zipper cooperativity was the dominant factor for the remarkable stability. Moreover, the dimeric and trimeric porphyrin arrays were independently assembled into double-strands by self-sorting from a binary mixture. Double-strand formation engineered discretely stacked π-systems. Successive slipped-cofacial stacks of the porphyrin rings progressively extended the π-system via exciton coupling over the double-strand while keeping a relatively high fluorescence quantum yield.

Single-Acetylene Linked Porphyrin Nanorings.

Project description:The synthesis of ethyne-linked porphyrin nanorings has been achieved by template-directed Sonogashira coupling. The cyclic hexamer and octamer are predicted by density functional theory to adopt low symmetry conformations, due to dihedral twists between neighboring porphyrin units, but their symmetries are effectively D6h and D8h, respectively, in solution by 1H NMR. The fluorescence spectra indicate that the singlet excited states of these nanorings are highly delocalized.

Ordering, flexibility and frustration in arrays of porphyrin nanorings.

Project description:The regular packing of atoms, molecules and nanoparticles provides the basis for the understanding of structural order within condensed phases of matter. Typically the constituent particles are considered to be rigid with a fixed shape. Here we show, through a combined experimental and numerical study of the adsorption of cyclic porphyrin polymers, nanorings, on a graphite surface, that flexible molecules can exhibit a rich and complex packing behaviour. Depending on the number of porphyrin sub-units within the nanoring we observe either a highly ordered hexagonal phase or frustrated packing driven by directional interactions which for some arrangements is combined with the internal deformation of the cyclic polymer. Frustration and deformation occur in arrays of polymers with ten sub-units since close packing and co-alignment of neighbouring groups cannot be simultaneously realised for nanorings with this internal symmetry.

Mechanochemical functionalization of disulfide linked hydrogels.

Project description:Poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels with disulfide linkages are functionalized through applied force. Compression or tension induces bond rupture at the relatively weak disulfide linkages, which will subsequently react through Michael-type addition with an acceptor molecule within the gel. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by patterning cell adhesion proteins through compression of a lithographically structured stamp, where cells predominately adhere to the compressed regions.

Functionalization of cobalt porphyrin-phospholipid bilayers with his-tagged ligands and antigens.

Project description:Methods to attach polypeptides to lipid bilayers are often indirect and ineffective, and can represent a substantial bottleneck in the formation of functionalized lipid-based materials. Although the polyhistidine tag (his-tag) has been transformative in its simplicity and efficacy in binding to immobilized metals, the successful application of this approach has been challenging in physiological settings. Here we show that lipid bilayers containing porphyrin-phospholipid conjugates that are chelated with cobalt, but not with other metals, can effectively capture his-tagged proteins and peptides. The binding follows a Co(II) to Co(III) transition and occurs within the sheltered hydrophobic bilayer, resulting in an essentially irreversible attachment in serum or in a million fold excess of competing imidazole. Using this approach we anchored homing peptides into the bilayer of preformed and cargo-loaded liposomes to enable tumour targeting without disrupting the bilayer integrity. As a further demonstration, a synthetic protein fragment derived from the human immunodeficiency virus was bound to immunogenic liposomes for potent antibody generation for an otherwise non-antigenic peptide.

Robust Functionalization of Large Microelectrode Arrays by Using Pulsed Potentiostatic Deposition.

Project description:Surface modification of microelectrodes is a central step in the development of microsensors and microsensor arrays. Here, we present an electrodeposition scheme based on voltage pulses. Key features of this method are uniformity in the deposited electrode coatings, flexibility in the overall deposition area, i.e., the sizes and number of the electrodes to be coated, and precise control of the surface texture. Deposition and characterization of four different materials are demonstrated, including layers of high-surface-area platinum, gold, conducting polymer poly(ethylenedioxythiophene), also known as PEDOT, and the non-conducting polymer poly(phenylenediamine), also known as PPD. The depositions were conducted using a fully integrated complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) chip with an array of 1024 microelectrodes. The pulsed potentiostatic deposition scheme is particularly suitable for functionalization of individual electrodes or electrode subsets of large integrated microelectrode arrays: the required deposition waveforms are readily available in an integrated system, the same deposition parameters can be used to functionalize the surface of either single electrodes or large arrays of thousands of electrodes, and the deposition method proved to be robust and reproducible for all materials tested.

Covalent Porphyrin Hybrids Linked with Dipyrrin, Bidipyrrin or Thiacorrole.

Project description:Novel meso-meso directly linked porphyrin hybrids were successfully targeted and synthesized, with porphyrin units linked with dipyrrin, bidipyrrin or thiacorrole, expanding the ranges of dipyrrin derivatives and showing diverse metal coordinations and further influencing the chemical shift of pyrrole units. The porphyrinyl dipyrrin nickel complex 3 was successfully obtained in a high yield by the oxidation of porphyrinyl dipyrromethane 2 and subsequent coordination. Further oxidative coupling reactions of 3 afforded por-bidipyrrin-por hybrid 4. Interestingly, an unexpected methoxy por-bidipyrrin-por hybrid 6 was generated by treating 4 with FeCl? in CH?Cl?/MeOH and subsequent coordination. In addition to open chain hybrids, an aromatic scaffold hybrid por-thiacorrole-por 8 was synthesized by treating porphyrinyl dibromo-dipyrrin nickel complex 7 with Na?S·9H?O. A series of porphyrin hybrids offers a new approach for ?-conjugated molecules.

Increased duplex stabilization in porphyrin-LNA zipper arrays with structure dependent exciton coupling.

Project description:Porphyrins were attached to LNA uridine building blocks via rigid 5-acetylene or more flexible propargyl-amide linkers and incorporated into DNA strands. The systems show a greatly increased thermodynamic stability when using as little as three porphyrins in a zipper arrangement. Thermodynamic analysis reveals clustering of the strands into more ordered duplexes with both greater negative ??S and ??H values, and less ordered duplexes with small positive ??S differences, depending on the combination of linkers used. The exciton coupling between the porphyrins is dependent on the flanking DNA sequence in the single stranded form, and on the nature of the linker between the nucleobase and the porphyrin in the double stranded form; it is, however, also strongly influenced by intermolecular interactions. This system is suitable for the formation of stable helical chromophore arrays with sequence and structure dependent exciton coupling.
