A redox-controllable molecular switch based on weak recognition of BPX26C6 at a diphenylurea station. Molecules 2015; 20:1775-87. [PMID: 25621422 PMCID: PMC6272467 DOI: 10.3390/molecules20021775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2014] [Revised: 01/08/2015] [Accepted: 01/15/2015] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The Na+ ion–assisted recognition of urea derivatives by BPX26C6 has allowed the construction of a redox-controllable [2]rotaxane-type molecular switch based on two originally very weakly interacting host/guest systems. Using NOBF4 to oxidize the triarylamine terminus into a corresponding radical cation attracted the macrocyclic component toward its adjacent carbamate station; subsequent addition of Zn powder moved the macrocyclic component back to its urea station.

Abstract
Squaraine rotaxane endoperoxides (SREPs) are storable chemiluminescent compounds that undergo a clean cycloreversion reaction that releases singlet oxygen and emits near-infrared light when warmed to body temperature. This study examined the effect of solvent on SREP chemiluminescence intensity and found that acidic alcohols, such as 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, α-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol, and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol, greatly increased chemiluminescence. In contrast, aprotic solvents, such as trifluoroethylmethyl ether, had no effect. The interlocked rotaxane structure was necessary as no chemiluminescence was observed when the experiments were conducted with samples containing a mixture of the two non-interlocked components (squaraine thread and macrocycle endoperoxide). Spectroscopic analyses of the enhanced SREP chemiluminescent reactions showed a mixture of products. In addition to the expected squaraine rotaxane product caused by cycloreversion of the endoperoxide, a diol derivative was isolated. The results are consistent with an endoperoxide O–O bond cleavage process that is promoted by the hydrogen bonding solvent and produces light emission from a squaraine excited state.

Abstract
An effective method to synthesize mechanically linked transformable block polymer was developed utilizing functional macromolecular [2]rotaxane with a "fixed" or "movable" wheel. The interaction between a sec-ammonium and a dibenzo-24-crown-8-ether was the key to control the mobility of the wheel component, indicating the capability of the transformation from linear block copolymer to block/graft copolymer in which the grafting polymer chain is movable along the axle polymer chain.

Abstract
Macromolecular [2]rotaxanes, which consist of a polymer chain threading into a wheel component, were synthesized in high yield and with high purity. The synthesis was achieved by the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of δ-valerolactone (VL) using a hydroxyl-terminated pseudorotaxane as an initiator with diphenyl phosphate as a catalyst in dichloromethane at room temperature. The 1H NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and MALDI-TOF-MS measurements of the resulting poly(δ-valerolactone)s clearly indicate the presence of the rotaxane structure with the polymer chain, confirming that the diphenyl phosphate-catalyzed ROP of VL proceeds without deslippage of the wheel component. The obtained macromolecular [2]rotaxane was acetylated to afford a nonionic macromolecular [2]rotaxane, in which only one wheel component is movable from one end to another along the polymer chain.
