Abstract
ABSTRACT The unique temperature, solvent and pH drivenvase to kite equilibrium in quinoxaline cavitands allows the reversible uptake and release of guests. However, the cavity breathing associated with this conformational switch reduces the strength of complexation. A limited number of solutions have been proposed for the cavity rigidification, using either H-bonding, metal coordination or covalent connections. Here we report the synthesis and structural characterisation of quinoxaline-based cavitand baskets, which present two distal quinoxaline walls linked together. Baskets A and B were obtained through a bridging reaction starting from an AC di-quinoxaline bridged cavitand using two different di-quinoxaline moieties. In both cases, two isomers were obtained: isomer C2, with the linking unit crossing the cavity mouth, and isomer Cs, having the linker sideways. The isomers were identified through 1H NMR analysis. In the case of basket A-Cs, the resolved molecular structure confirmed the Cs symmetry of the basket. Grapical abstract
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. .
