Cyclobenzoin Esters as Hosts for Thin Guests.

ABSTRACT: Cyclotetrabenzoin esters can host terminal triple bonds of alkynes and nitriles in their cavities, as revealed by cocrystal structures of four such complexes. Within cyclotetrabenzoin cavities, π-clouds of triple bonds establish favorable and virtually equidistant interactions with the four aromatic walls of the cyclotetrabenzoin skeleton. Binding is selective for aliphatic nitriles and terminal alkynes, with their aromatic counterparts residing outside of the cyclotetrabenzoin cavity.

Anionic Hosts for the Incorporation of Cationic Guests.

Project description:Pentaphosphaferrocene [Cp*Fe(?5 -P5 )] (1?a) represents an excellent building block for the template-directed synthesis of spherical supramolecules. Here, the self-assembly of 1?a with CuI and CuII halides in the presence of the template complexes [FeCp2 ][PF6 ], [CoCp2 ][PF6 ] and [CoCp2 ] is reported, testifying to the redox behavior of the formed supramolecules. The oxidation or reduction capacity of these reactive complexes does not inhibit their template impact and, for the first time, the cationic metallocene [CoCp2 ]+ is enclosed in unprecedented anionic organometallic hosts. Furthermore, the large variety of structural motifs, as icosahedral, trigonal antiprismatic, cuboidal and tetragonal antiprismatic arrangements of 1?a units are realized in the supramolecules [FeCp2 ]@[{1?a}12 (CuBr)17.3 ]?(3), [CoCp2 ]+3 {[CoCp2 ]+ @[{1?a}8 Cu24.25 Br28.25 (CH3 CN)6 ]4- }?(4), {[Cp2 Co]+ @[{1?a}8 (CuI)28 (CH3 CN)9.8 ]}{[Cp2 Co]+ @[{1?a)}8 Cu24.4 I26.4 (CH3 CN)8 ]2- }?(5), and [{1?a}3 {(1?a)2 NH}3 Cu16 I10 (CH3 CN)7 ]?(6), respectively.

Enantioselective synthesis of chiral porphyrin macrocyclic hosts and kinetic enantiorecognition of viologen guests.

Project description:The construction of macromolecular hosts that are able to thread chiral guests in a stereoselective fashion is a big challenge. We herein describe the asymmetric synthesis of two enantiomeric C 2-symmetric porphyrin macrocyclic hosts that thread and bind different viologen guests. Time-resolved fluorescence studies show that these hosts display a factor 3 kinetic preference (ΔΔG ‡ on = 3 kJ mol-1) for threading onto the different enantiomers of a viologen guest appended with bulky chiral 1-phenylethoxy termini. A smaller kinetic selectivity (ΔΔG ‡ on = 1 kJ mol-1) is observed for viologens equipped with small chiral sec-butoxy termini. Kinetic selectivity is absent when the C 2-symmetric hosts are threaded onto chiral viologens appended with chiral tails in which the chiral moieties are located in the centers of the chains, rather than at the chain termini. The reason is that the termini of the latter guests, which engage in the initial stages of the threading process (entron effect), cannot discriminate because they are achiral, in contrast to the chiral termini of the former guests. Finally, our experiments show that the threading and de-threading rates are balanced in such a way that the observed binding constants are highly similar for all the investigated host-guest complexes, i.e. there is no thermodynamic selectivity.

Enhanced shape-selective recognition of anion guests through complexation-induced organization of porphyrin hosts.

Project description:We present a fortuitous discovery of enhanced shape-selective recognition of anion guests that stems from a complexation-induced conformational change in porphyrin hosts upon anion binding. Porphyrin hosts reported here exist in a conformation that is not favorable to guest binding. Anions that bind strongly are those that can induce a conformational change in the host to allow guest binding. Furthermore, guests that mimic the shape of the newly formed pocket bind the strongest.

Azocalix[4]arene-Rhodamine Supramolecular Hypoxia-Sensitive Systems: A Search for the Best Calixarene Hosts and Rhodamine Guests.

Project description:A potential hypoxia-sensitive system host-guest complex of three calixarenes (including two with four anionic carboxyl and sulphonate azo fragments on the upper rim and a newly synthesized bis-azo adduct of calixarene in the cone configuration with azo fragments on the lower rim with the most widespread cationic and zwitterionic rhodamine dyes (123, 6G and B)) was studied using UV-VIS spectrometry and fluorescence as well as 1D and 2D NMR techniques. It was found that all three calixarenes form a complex with rhodamine dyes with a 1:1 composition. The association constants of calixarene-dye complexes with sulfonate calixarenes, especially in the case of tetra-anionic calixarene, turned out to be higher compared with carboxyl calixarene due to the more intense electrostatic interactions. For the first time using an HRESI MS technique, it was shown that the treatment of rhodamine 6G and 123 with sodium dithionite (SDT) produces a non-fluorescent leuco form of the dye, and only rhodamine B can be used with SDT without the occurrence of a side reduction. Moreover, it was identified that in addition to the reduction in the azo groups, SDT causes partial cleavage of the aryl ether bonds. The found features of SDT should be taken into account when SDT is used as an azoreductase mimic.

Virtual screening for high affinity guests for synthetic supramolecular receptors.

Project description:The protein/ligand docking software GOLD, which was originally developed for drug discovery, has been used in a virtual screen to identify small molecules that bind with extremely high affinities (K ? 107 M-1) in the cavity of a cubic coordination cage in water. A scoring function was developed using known guests as a training set and modified by introducing an additional term to take account of loss of guest flexibility on binding. This scoring function was then used in GOLD to successfully identify 15 new guests and accurately predict the binding constants. This approach provides a powerful predictive tool for virtual screening of large compound libraries to identify new guests for synthetic hosts, thereby greatly simplifying and accelerating the process of identifying guests by removing the reliance on experimental trial-and-error.

Aniline-containing guests recognized by ?,?',?,?'-tetramethyl-cucurbit[6]uril host.

Project description:The host-guest complexation of symmetrical ?,?',?,?'-tetramethyl-cucurbit[6]uril (TMeQ[6]) and cucurbit[7]uril (Q[7]) with a series of aniline-containing guests has been investigated by various experimental techniques including NMR, ITC, and X-ray crystallography. Experimental results indicate that both TMeQ[6] and Q[7] hosts can encapsulate aniline-containing guests to form stable inclusion complexes. However, the oval cavity of TMeQ[6] is more complementary in size and shape to the aromatic ring of the guests than the spherical cavity of Q[7]. Shielding and deshielding effects of the aromatic ring on guests lead to the remarkable chemical shifts of the TMeQ[6] host protons. The rotational restriction of the guests in the oval cavity of TMeQ[6] results in the large negative values of entropy. The X-ray crystal structure of the 1:1 inclusion complex between TMeQ[6] and N,N'-diethyl-benzene-1,4-diamine unambiguously reveals that the aromatic ring of the guest resides in the oval cavity of TMeQ[6].

Non-covalent self assembly controls the relaxivity of magnetically active guests.

Project description:The relaxivity of a magnetically responsive Gd complex can be controlled by non-covalent molecular recognition with a water-soluble deep cavitand. Lowered relaxivity is conferred by a self-assembled micellar "off state", and the contrast can be regenerated by addition of a superior guest.

Space filling of ?-cyclodextrin and ?-cyclodextrin derivatives by volatile hydrophobic guests.

Project description:The inclusion of volatile derivatives of benzene and cyclohexane in ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD), hydroxypropyl-?-CD, and hydrophilic ?-CD-thioethers was investigated by static headspace gas chromatography (HS-GC) and molecular modelling. The obtained binding constants strongly increase with the amount of space filling of the CD cavity and the salt concentration. ?-CD thioethers show a 3-10 times higher binding potential than native ?-CD.

Anion-driven encapsulation of cationic guests inside pyridine[4]arene dimers.

Project description:Pyridine[4]arenes have previously been considered as anion binding hosts due to the electron-poor nature of the pyridine ring. Herein, we demonstrate the encapsulation of Me4N+ cations inside a dimeric hydrogen-bonded pyridine[4]arene capsule, which contradicts with earlier assumptions. The complexation of a cationic guest inside the pyridine[4]arene dimer has been detected and studied by multiple gas-phase techniques, ESI-QTOF-MS, IRMPD, and DT-IMMS experiments, as well as DFT calculations. The comparison of classical resorcinarenes with pyridinearenes by MS and NMR experiments reveals clear differences in their host-guest chemistry and implies that cation encapsulation in pyridine[4]arene is an anion-driven process.

Binding Between Cyclohexanohemicucurbit[<i>n</i>]urils and Polar Organic Guests.

Project description:Inherently chiral, barrel-shaped, macrocyclic hosts such as cyclohexanohemicucurbit[n]urils (cycHC[n]) bind zinc porphyrins and trifluoroacetic acid externally in halogenated solvents. In the current study, we tested a set of eighteen organic guests with various functional groups and polarity, namely, thiophenols, phenols, and carboxylic and sulfonic acids, to identify a preference toward hydrogen bond-donating molecules for homologous cycHC[6] and cycHC[8]. Guests were characterized by Hirshfeld partial charges on acidic hydrogens and their binding by 1H and 19F NMR titrations. Evaluation of association constants revealed the complexity of the system and indirectly proved an external binding with stoichiometry over 2:1 for both homologs. It was found that overall binding strength is influenced by the stoichiometry of the formed complexes, the partial atomic charge on the hydrogen atom of the hydrogen bond donor, and the bulkiness of the guest. Additionally, a study on the formation of complexes with halogen anions (Cl- and Br-) in methanol and chloroform, analyzed by 1H NMR, did not confirm complexation. The current study widens the scope of potential applications for host molecules by demonstrating the formation of hydrogen-bonded complexes with multisite hydrogen bond acceptors such as cycHC[6] and cycHC[8].
