Tuning Supramolecular Selectivity for Hydrosulfide: Linear Free Energy Relationships Reveal Preferential C-H Hydrogen Bond Interactions.

ABSTRACT: Supramolecular anion receptors can be used to study the molecular recognition properties of the reactive yet biologically critical hydrochalcogenide anions (HCh^-). Achieving selectivity for HCh^- over the halides is challenging but necessary for not only developing future supramolecular probes for HCh^- binding and detection, but also for understanding the fundamental properties that govern these binding and recognition events. Here we demonstrate that linear free energy relationships (LFERs)-including Hammett and Swain-Lupton plots-reveal a clear difference in sensitivity to the polarity of an aryl C-H hydrogen bond (HB) donor for HS^- over other HCh^- and halides. Analysis using electrostatic potential maps highlights that this difference in sensitivity results from a preference of the aryl C-H HB donor for HS^- in this host scaffold. From this study, we demonstrate that LFERs are a powerful tool to gain interpretative insight into motif design for future anion-selective supramolecular receptors and highlight the importance of C-H HB donors for HS^- recognition. From our results, we suggest that aryl C-H HB donors should be investigated in the next generation of HS^- selective receptors based on the enhanced HS^- selectivity over other competing anions in this system.

Substituent Effects in CH Hydrogen Bond Interactions: Linear Free Energy Relationships and Influence of Anions.

Project description:Aryl CH hydrogen bonds (HBs) are now commonly recognized as important factors in a number of fields, including molecular biology, stereoselective catalysis, and anion supramolecular chemistry. As the utility of CH HBs has grown, so to has the need to understand the structure-activity relationship for tuning both their strength and selectivity. Although there has been significant computational effort in this area, an experimental study of the substituent effects on CH HBs has not been previously undertaken. Herein we disclose a systematic study of a single CH HB by using traditional urea donors as directing groups in a supramolecular binding cavity. Experimentally determined association constants are examined by a combination of computational (electrostatic potential) and empirical (?m and ?p) values for substituent effects. The dominance of electrostatic parameters, as observed in a computational DFT study, is consistent with current CH HB theory; however, a novel anion dependence of the substituent effects is revealed in solution.

Linear free energy relationships reveal structural changes in hydrogen-bonded host-guest interactions.

Project description:Hydrogen bond strength in host-guest systems is modulated by many factors including preorganization, steric effects, and electronic effects. To investigate how electronic effects impact barbiturate binding in bifurcated Hamilton receptors, a library of receptors with differing electronic substituents was synthesized and (1)H NMR titrations were performed with diethyl barbital. The Hammett plot revealed a clear break between the different electronic substituents suggesting a change in binding conformation. The titration data were complimented with computational studies confirming the change in structure.

A Synthetic Supramolecular Receptor for the Hydrosulfide Anion.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) has emerged as a crucial biomolecule in physiology and cellular signaling. Key challenges associated with developing new chemical tools for understanding the biological roles of H2 S include developing platforms that enable reversible binding of this important biomolecule. The first synthetic small molecule receptor for the hydrosulfide anion, HS(-) , using only reversible, hydrogen-bonding interactions in a series of bis(ethynylaniline) derivatives, is reported. Binding constants of up to 90?300±8700?m(-1) were obtained in MeCN. The fundamental science of reversible sulfide binding, in this case featuring a key CH???S hydrogen bond, will expand the possibility for discovery of sulfide protein targets and molecular recognition agents.

A conserved water-mediated hydrogen bond network defines bosutinib's kinase selectivity.

Project description:Kinase inhibitors are important cancer drugs, but they tend to display limited target specificity, and their target profiles are often challenging to rationalize in terms of molecular mechanism. Here we report that the clinical kinase inhibitor bosutinib recognizes its kinase targets by engaging a pair of conserved structured water molecules in the active site and that many other kinase inhibitors share a similar recognition mechanism. Using the nitrile group of bosutinib as an infrared probe, we show that the gatekeeper residue and one other position in the ATP-binding site control access of the drug to the structured water molecules and that the amino acids found at these positions account for the kinome-wide target spectrum of the drug. Our work highlights the importance of structured water molecules for inhibitor recognition, reveals a new role for the kinase gatekeeper and showcases an effective approach for elucidating the molecular origins of selectivity patterns.

Supramolecular polymerisation in water; elucidating the role of hydrophobic and hydrogen-bond interactions.

Project description:Understanding the self-assembly of small molecules in water is crucial for the development of responsive, biocompatible soft materials. Here, a family of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) derivatives that comprise a BTA moiety connected to an amphiphilic chain is synthesised with the aim to elucidate the role of hydrophobic and hydrogen-bonding interactions in the self-assembly of these BTAs. The amphiphilic chain consists of an alkyl chain with a length of 10, 11, or 12 methylene units, connected to a tetraethylene glycol (at the periphery). The results show that an undecyl spacer is the minimum length required for these BTAs to self-assemble into supramolecular polymers. Interestingly, exchange studies reveal only minor differences in exchange rates between BTAs containing undecyl or dodecyl spacers. Additionally, IR spectroscopy provides the first experimental evidence that hydrogen-bonding is operative and contributes to the stabilisation of the supramolecular polymers in water.

Understanding structure-activity relationships in linear polymer photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution.

Project description:Conjugated polymers have sparked much interest as photocatalysts for hydrogen production. However, beyond basic considerations such as spectral absorption, the factors that dictate their photocatalytic activity are poorly understood. Here we investigate a series of linear conjugated polymers with external quantum efficiencies for hydrogen production between 0.4 and 11.6%. We monitor the generation of the photoactive species from femtoseconds to seconds after light absorption using transient spectroscopy and correlate their yield with the measured photocatalytic activity. Experiments coupled with modeling suggest that the localization of water around the polymer chain due to the incorporation of sulfone groups into an otherwise hydrophobic backbone is crucial for charge generation. Calculations of solution redox potentials and charge transfer free energies demonstrate that electron transfer from the sacrificial donor becomes thermodynamically favored as a result of the more polar local environment, leading to the production of long-lived electrons in these amphiphilic polymers.

Room temperature catalytic carbon-hydrogen bond alumination of unactivated arenes: mechanism and selectivity.

Project description:We report the first catalytic methods for the transformation of C-H bonds of unactivated arenes into C-Al bonds. The catalytic reactions occur at 25 °C (benzene, toluene and xylenes) with palladium loadings as low as 0.1 mol%. Remarkably, the C-H activation of toluene and xylenes proceeds with ortho- and meta-selectivity. This selectivity is highly unusual and complementary to both Friedel-Crafts and the majority of C-H borylation methods. Through a detailed mechanistic analysis (Eyring analysis, KIE, DFT, QTAIM) we show that unusual Pd-Al intermetallic complexes are on the catalytic cycle and that the selectivity is determined by weak attractive dispersion forces in the transition state for C-H bond breaking.

Intramolecular Hydrogen Bond Driven Conformational Selectivity of Coumarin Derivatives of Resorcin[4]arene.

Project description:In this study, the synthesis and structure of 4-aminocoumarin derivatives of resorcin[4]arene were investigated. Spectroscopic analysis and quantum mechanical calculations showed that this molecule undertakes a crown-in conformation in chloroform. The conformations of the aminocoumarin derivative of resorcin[4]arene were compared with a hydroxycoumarin derivative of resorcin[4]arene, and the effect of the substituent on the conformational selectivity of the coumarin derivatives of resorcin[4]arene was demonstrated. Both UV-VIS and fluorescence spectroscopy for the coumarin derivative of resorcin[4]arene (3) were performed, and a strong fluorescence quenching of derivative 3 compared to 4-aminocoumarin was observed.

Polycatenated 2D Hydrogen-Bonded Binary Supramolecular Organic Frameworks (SOFs) with Enhanced Gas Adsorption and Selectivity.

Project description:Controlled assembly of two-dimensional (2D) supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs) has been demonstrated through a binary strategy in which 1,4-bis-(4-(3,5-dicyano-2,6-dipyridyl)pyridyl)naphthalene (2), generated in situ by oxidative dehydrogenation of 1,4-bis-(4-(3,5-dicyano-2,6-dipyridyl)dihydropyridyl)naphthalene (1), is coupled in a 1:1 ratio with terphenyl-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylic acid (3; to form SOF-8), 5,5'-(anthracene-9,10-diyl)diisophthalic acid (4; to form SOF-9), or 5,5'-bis-(azanediyl)-oxalyl-diisophthalic acid (5; to form SOF-10). Complementary O-H···N hydrogen bonds assemble 2D 63-hcb (honeycomb) subunits that pack as layers in SOF-8 to give a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular network with parallel channels hosting guest DMF (DMF = N,N'-dimethylformamide) molecules. SOF-9 and SOF-10 feature supramolecular networks of 2D ? 3D inclined polycatenation of similar hcb layers as those in SOF-8. Although SOF-8 suffers framework collapse upon guest removal, the polycatenated frameworks of SOF-9 and SOF-10 exhibit excellent chemical and thermal stability, solvent/moisture durability, and permanent porosity. Moreover, their corresponding desolvated (activated) samples SOF-9a and SOF-10a display enhanced adsorption and selectivity for CO2 over N2 and CH4. The structures of these activated compounds are well described by quantum chemistry calculations, which have allowed us to determine their mechanical properties, as well as identify their soft deformation modes and a large number of low-energy vibration modes. These results not only demonstrate an effective synthetic platform for porous organic molecular materials stabilized solely by primary hydrogen bonds but also suggest a viable means to build robust SOF materials with enhanced gas uptake capacity and selectivity.

In situ tuning of electronic structure of catalysts using controllable hydrogen spillover for enhanced selectivity.

Project description:In situ tuning of the electronic structure of active sites is a long-standing challenge. Herein, we propose a strategy by controlling the hydrogen spillover distance to in situ tune the electronic structure. The strategy is demonstrated to be feasible with the assistance of CoOx/Al2O3/Pt catalysts prepared by atomic layer deposition in which CoOx and Pt nanoparticles are separated by hollow Al2O3 nanotubes. The strength of hydrogen spillover from Pt to CoOx can be precisely tailored by varying the Al2O3 thickness. Using CoOx/Al2O3 catalyzed styrene epoxidation as an example, the CoOx/Al2O3/Pt with 7 nm Al2O3 layer exhibits greatly enhanced selectivity (from 74.3% to 94.8%) when H2 is added. The enhanced selectivity is attributed to the introduction of controllable hydrogen spillover, resulting in the reduction of CoOx during the reaction. Our method is also effective for the epoxidation of styrene derivatives. We anticipate this method is a general strategy for other reactions.
