Abstract
ABSTRACT This study explores the impact of a small structural modification on a biomimetic receptor. The hosting structure is a calix[6]arene capped by a tetraaza core. Two receptors are compared: one (1) presents three anisole units while the other (2) has three phenols. The latter was obtained with an excellent yield by selective demethylation thanks to a supramolecular strategy. Complexation studies showed that [2.H]+ displays strong affinities for Cl−, NO3 −, HSO4 −, whereas [1.H]+ is non-responsive. The anions are embedded at the level of the small rim, hydrogen-bonded to the protonated cap and the phenol groups. Ternary complexes are obtained in the presence of ammoniums. Finally, [2.H]+ shows high affinity for small zwitterions presenting a carboxylate and an ammonium groups separated by one or two carbon atom(s), not three, due to multi-point recognition. These results open routes to the design of new receptors for a variety of anionic and zwitterionic guests.
期刊介绍:
Supramolecular Chemistry welcomes manuscripts from the fields and sub-disciplines related to supramolecular chemistry and non-covalent interactions. From host-guest chemistry, self-assembly and systems chemistry, through materials chemistry and biochemical systems, we interpret supramolecular chemistry in the broadest possible sense. Interdisciplinary manuscripts are particularly encouraged. Manuscript types include: high priority communications; full papers; reviews, and; Methods papers, techniques tutorials highlighting procedures and technologies that are important to the field. We aim to publish papers in a timely fashion and as soon as a paper has been accepted and typeset it will be published in electronic form on the Latest articles section of the website. The two most important review criteria are that the paper presents high-quality work that fits generally into the broad spectrum of activities in the supramolecular chemistry field. Under normal circumstances, Supramolecular Chemistry does not consider manuscripts that would be more suitable in a highly specialized journal. This includes, but is not limited to, those based mostly or exclusively on topics such as solid state/X-ray structures, computational chemistry, or electrochemistry. .
