Monitoring Hierarchical Assembly of Ring-in-Ring and Russian Doll Complexes Based on Carbon Nanoring by Förster Resonance Energy Transfer. JACS AU 2024; 4:402-410. [PMID: 38425918 PMCID: PMC10900207 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.3c00720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
We presented the construction of the ring-in-ring and Russian doll complexes on the basis of triptycene-derived carbon nanoring (TP-[12]CPP), which not only acts as a host for pillar[5]arene (P5A) but also serves as an energy donor for building Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) systems. We also demonstrated that their hierarchical assembly processes could be efficiently monitored in real time using FRET. NMR, UV-vis and fluorescence, and mass spectroscopy analyses confirmed the successful encapsulation of the guests P5A/P5A-An by TP-[12]CPP, facilitated by C-H···π and ···π interactions, resulting in the formation of a distinct ring-in-ring complex with a binding constant of Ka = 2.23 × 104 M-1. The encapsulated P5A/P5A-An can further reverse its role to be a host for binding energy acceptors to form Russian doll complexes, as evidenced by the occurrence of FRET and mass spectroscopy analyses. The apparent binding constant of the Russian doll complexes was up to 3.6 × 104 M-1, thereby suggesting an enhanced synergistic effect. Importantly, the Russian doll complexes exhibited both intriguing one-step and sequential FRET dependent on the subcomponent P5A/P5A-An during hierarchical assembly, reminiscent of the structure and energy transfer of the light-harvesting system presented in purple bacteria.

Abstract
We report the facile, metal-free convergent synthesis and the characterization of novel quinacridone dyes in which two triptycene units end-cap and sterically confine the quinacridone chromophore. A precise comparison of the confined dyes with their known homologues reveals that the reduction of π-π interactions in triptycene-fused quinacridone dyes compared to classical quinacridone results not only in an increase of solubility and processability but also in an enhancement of fluorescence quantum yield and photostability in the solid state.

Abstract
Molecular tweezers are open-ended, cavity-possessing U-shaped molecular architectures with high potential for various applications in supramolecular chemistry. Their covalent synthesis, however, is often tedious and the structures obtained lack structural responsiveness beyond the limited conformational flexibility of the scaffold. Herein we present a proof-of-concept study on the design, synthesis, assembly, and transformations of a novel supramolecular construct─a fully noncovalent molecular tweezer. The supramolecular tweezer was assembled from a set of four building blocks, composed of two identical molecular angle bars and two flat aromatic extension wings, using hydrogen bonding only. The chirality-assisted aggregation process was utilized to ensure scaffold bending directionality using enantiomerically pure bicyclic angle bars. To address the challenges associated with shifting of the equilibrium from strong cooperative narcissistic self-sorting of self-complementary angle bars in cyclic aggregates toward integrative self-sorting in molecular tweezers, a rational desymmetrization strategy was applied. The dynamic supramolecular tweezer has been shown to display rich supramolecular chemistry, allowing for stimuli-responsive change in aggregate topology and solvent-responsive supramolecular polymerization.

Abstract
This work presents the first transition metal-free synthesis of oxygen-linked aromatic polymers by integrating iterative exponential polymer growth (IEG) with nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions. Our approach applies methyl sulfones as the leaving groups, which eliminate the need for a transition metal catalyst, while also providing flexibility in functionality and configuration of the building blocks used. As indicated by 1) 1H-1H NOESY NMR spectroscopy, 2) single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and 3) density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the unimolecular polymers obtained are folded by nonclassical hydrogen bonds formed between the oxygens of the electron-rich aromatic rings and the positively polarized C-H bonds of the electron-poor pyrimidine functions. Our results not only introduce a transition metal-free synthetic methodology to access precision polymers but also demonstrate how interactions between relatively small, neutral aromatic units in the polymers can be utilized as new supramolecular interaction pairs to control the folding of precision macromolecules.

Abstract
Bacterial infections pose severe threats to global public health security. Developing antibacterial agents with both high efficiency and safety to handle this problem has become a top priority. Here, highly stable and effective polymer nanosheets have been constructed by the covalent co-assembly of a pillar[5]arene derivative and metalloporphyrin for photodynamic antibacterial therapy (PDAT). The monolayer nanosheets are strongly positively charged and thus capable of binding with Staphylococcus aureus (SA) through electrostatic interactions. Additionally, the nanosheets can be activated to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under white-light irradiation, and exhibit satisfactory antibacterial performance towards SA. More importantly, cell viability assays demonstrate that the nanosheets show little to no cytotoxicity impact on mammalian cells even when the concentrations are much higher than those employed in the antibacterial studies. The above results suggest that the polymer nanosheets could be an effective antibacterial agent to overcome bacterial infections and hold a broad range of potential applications in real life.

Abstract
By applying a chirality-assisted synthesis (CAS) approach enantiopure diaminodibromotriptycenes were converted to rigid chiral helical diazadibenzoanthracenes, which show besides pronounced Cotton effects in circular dichroism spectra higher photoluminescence quantum yields as comparable carbacyclic analogues. For the enantiopure building blocks, a protocol was developed allowing the large scale synthesis without the necessity of separation via HPLC.

Abstract
A novel colorimetric sensing method for glucose was developed based on the catalytic activity of Au nanoparticles (NPs) and a synthetic cyclic peptide that specifically binds with glucose. It is the first time that a cyclic peptide was used as a recognition element for glucose sensing. In the absence of glucose, the monolayers of cyclic peptide on the Au NP surfaces interfered little with the adsorption of 4-nitrophenol, and the Au NPs catalyze the reduction of bright yellow 4-nitrophenol to colorless 4-aminophenol in the presence of NaBH4. Added glucose was preferentially bound by the cyclic peptides and impeded the adsorption of 4-nitrophenol. Therefore, the color of the solution presented varying shades of yellow depending on the concentration of glucose. The method had a short response time of 10 min and demonstrated a linear response over a range of glucose concentrations from 0.1 mM to 20 mM, with a lower limit of detection of 0.04 mM. Meanwhile, it also provided results readily observable by the naked eye. The method was successfully applied for the detection of glucose in spiked food samples (Chinese cabbage, pear, and wheat flour) and spiked rabbit blood, and a good recovery rate of 88.04-103.28% and 94.27-101.53% was obtained, respectively.

Abstract
A racemic C3-symmetric trihydroxytribenzotriquinacene was resolved on a large scale by fractional crystallization of the corresponding (1S)-camphanic esters, achieving both enantiopure enantiomers (>99% ee) in 35% and 32% yields. The method relies on a distinct solvent-controlled discrimination process between the diastereomers. The enantiopure trihydroxytribenzotriquinacenes were converted into four other enantiopure building blocks, which are valuable precursors for supramolecular and materials chemistry to illustrate the utility of the synthesized compounds.

Abstract
A multicyclophane with a core based on tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN) linked by amide spacers to three fragments of pillar[5]arene was synthesized. The choice of the tris-amide core allowed the multicyclophane to bind to anion guests. The presence of three terminal pillar[5]arene units provides the possibility of effectively binding the colorimetric probe N-phenyl-3-(phenylimino)-3H-phenothiazin-7-amine (PhTz). It was established that the multicyclophane complexed PhTz in chloroform with a 1:1 stoichiometry (lgKa = 5.2 ± 0.1), absorbing at 650 nm. The proposed structure of the complex was confirmed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy: the amide group linking the pillar[5]arene to the TREN core forms a hydrogen bond with the PhTz imino-group while the pillararenes surround PhTz. It was established that the PhTz:tris-pillar[5]arene complex could be used as a colorimetric probe for fluoride, acetate, and dihydrogen phosphate anions due to the anion binding with proton donating amide groups which displaced the PhTz probe. Dye displacement resulted in a color change from blue to pink, lowering the absorption band at 650 nm and increasing that at 533 nm.

Abstract
The strategic combination of the methylene bridged glycoluril dimer and triptycene skeletons delivers acyclic water soluble hybrid receptor 1 which is analogous to cucurbit[6]uril. The molecular recognition properties of host 1 toward hydrophobic cationic guests are investigated in detail by a combination of 1H NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) studies. The fluorescence emission of 1 can be selectively and efficiently quenched upon the formation of 1·26 and 1·28 complexes.

Abstract
The synthesis of enantiomerically pure, configurationally stable fenestrindane-based polyaromatic compounds with saddle-like structures is reported. Seven racemic fenestrane synthetic precursors were first screened by chiral HPLC for resolvability into enantiomers. Among the three resolvable precursors, a tribenzofenestrene derivative was resolved on a semipreparative scale, and the absolute configuration of the more slowly eluting enantiomer was established by X-ray crystallography. The enantiopure tribenzofenestrenes were then separately converted, in six steps, to the saddle-shaped fenestrindane derivatives in optically pure form. The two enantiomeric pairs of saddles were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and circular dichroism spectroscopy. All new compounds reported herein represent the first enantiopure non-natural carbocyclic fenestranes isolated to date.

Abstract
We designed and synthesized a "hybrid" molecular container 1, which is structurally related to both cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n]) and pillar[n]arene type receptors. Receptor 1 was fully characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, IR, MS and X-ray single crystal diffraction. The self-association behavior, host-guest recognition properties of 1, and the [salt] dependence of Ka were investigated in detail by 1 H NMR and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Optical transmittance and TEM measurements provide strong evidence that receptor 1 undergoes co-assemble with amphiphilic guest C10 in water to form supramolecular bilayer vesicles (diameter 25.6±2.7 nm, wall thickness ≈3.5 nm) that can encapsulate the hydrophilic anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and the hydrophobic dye Nile red (NR). The release of encapsulated DOX or NR from the vesicles can be triggered by hexamethonium (8 c) or spermine (10) which leads to the disruption of the supramolecular vesicles.

Abstract
Supramolecular assemblies are constructed from at least two molecules through various noncovalent bonding modes such as hydrogen bonding, cationic-anionic electrostatic interactions, aromatic interactions, metal-ligand bonding, hydrophobic-hydrophilic interactions, and charge-transfer interactions. Owing to the dynamic and reversible nature of these noncovalent bonds, the assembly and disassembly of these molecules are dynamic and reversible. Molecules self-assemble to form the most conformationally and thermally stable structures through these noncovalent interactions. The formation of these noncovalent interactions is affected by the properties of the environment such as its polarity, temperature, and pressure; thus, the structure of the assembled compounds is determined by the environment. The sizes and shapes of the supramolecular assemblies play an important role in determining their functions. Therefore, controlling their size and shape is important. Introducing stimuli-responsive groups into supramolecular assemblies is a useful way to control their size and shape. Controlling supramolecular structures and motions with external stimuli, i.e., periodic and rotational motions on the molecular scale, structures, and molecular weights at the nano- and micrometer scales, visible shrinking/expansion, and adhesive behavior at a macroscopic scale, is very useful. Macrocyclic host molecules are useful building blocks for the construction of stimuli-responsive supramolecular assemblies because their host ability can be tuned by changing the shape and electron density of the cavity. The size-dependent hosting ability of the cavity is similar to the lock-and-key model in biological systems. Stimuli-responsive supramolecular assemblies have been developed by using macrocyclic compounds such as cyclodextrins, cucurbit[ n]urils, calix[ n]arenes, crown ethers, and related macrocycles. We successfully developed new pillar-shaped macrocyclic hosts in 2008, which were coined pillar[ n]arenes. The unique structural features of pillar[ n]arenes allowed new properties. This year, 2018, marks one decade of research into pillar[ n]arene chemistry, and in that time the properties of pillar[ n]arenes have been widely investigated by various scientists. Thanks to their efforts, the characteristic properties of pillar[ n]arenes that result from their pillar-shaped structures have been elucidated. Their host ability, the chirality of their pillar-shaped structure, and their versatile functionality are unique features of pillar[ n]arenes not seen in other well-known hosts, and these properties are very useful for the creation of new stimuli-responsive supramolecular assemblies. In this Account, we describe photo-, pH- and redox-responsive supramolecular assemblies based on pillar[ n]arenes. First, we discuss molecular-scale stimuli-responsive supramolecular assemblies, i.e., pseudorotaxanes, pseudocatenanes, and supramolecular polymers. We also highlight subnanometer- and micrometer-scale stimuli-responsive supramolecular assembles such as particles and vesicles. Finally, we discuss the macroscopic stimuli-responsive structural changes of surfaces and gels. This Account will provide useful information for researchers working on not only pillar[ n]arene chemistry but also the chemistry of other macrocyclic hosts, and it will inspire new discoveries in the field of supramolecular assemblies and systems containing macrocyclic hosts.

Abstract
We report the synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of a cucurbituril-triptycene chimeric receptor (1). Host 1 binds to guests typical of CB[6]-CB[8], but also binds to larger guests such as blue box (20) and the Fujita square (22). Intriguingly, the geometries of the 1⋅20 and 1⋅22 complexes blur the lines between host and guest in that both components fulfill both roles within each complex. The fluorescence output of 1 is fully quenched by the formation of complexes with pyridinium-derived guests.

Abstract
A new chiral tribenzotriquinacene bearing an ortho-bromoaniline nucleus was synthesized and optically resolved. The individual enantiomers, the absolute configuration of which was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis, were stereoselectively converted into the same pyrazine-fused syn-bis-TBTQ derivative by chirality-assisted Buchwald-Hartwig amination. The corresponding diastereomeric anti-dimer was obtained alongside the syn-dimer from the racemic sample under similar reaction conditions. X-ray structure analysis of the dimers confirmed the mutual biconcave and convex-concave configuration of their TBTQ moieties and the preservation of the orthogonal orientation of the indane wings within each of them.

Abstract
Crystal-packing forces can have a significant impact on the relative stabilities of different molecules and their conformations. The magnitude of such effects is, however, not yet well understood. Herein we show, that crystal packing can completely overrule the relative stabilities of different stereoisomers in solution. Heating of atropoisomers (i.e. "frozen-out" conformational isomers) in solution leads to complex mixtures. In contrast, solid-state heating selectively amplifies minor (<25 mole %) components of these solution-phase mixtures. We show that this heating strategy is successful for compounds with up to four rotationally hindered σ bonds, for which a single stereoisomer out of seven can be amplified selectively. Our results demonstrate that common supramolecular interactions-for example, [methyl⋅⋅⋅π] coordination and [C-H⋅⋅⋅O] hydrogen bonding-can readily invert the relative thermodynamic stabilities of different molecular conformations. These findings open up potential new avenues to control the folding of macromolecules.

Abstract
Nature has evolved selective enzymes for the efficient biosynthesis of complex products. This exceptional ability stems from adapted enzymatic pockets, which geometrically constrain reactants and stabilize specific reactive intermediates by placing electron-donating/accepting residues nearby. Here we perform an abiotic electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, which is directed precisely through space. Ester arms-positioned above the planes of aromatic rings-enable it to distinguish between nearly identical, neighbouring reactive positions. Quantum mechanical calculations show that, in two competing reaction pathways, both [C-H···O]-hydrogen bonding and electrophile preorganization by coordination to a carbonyl group likely play a role in controlling the reaction. These through-space-directed mechanisms are inspired by dimethylallyl tryptophan synthases, which direct biological electrophilic aromatic substitutions by preorganizing dimethylallyl cations and by stabilizing reactive intermediates with [C-H···N]-hydrogen bonding. Our results demonstrate how the third dimension above and underneath aromatic rings can be exploited to precisely control electrophilic aromatic substitutions.
