Abstract
Because of the peculiar dynamic covalent reactivity of boronic acids to form tetraboronate derivatives, interest in using their aryl derivatives in materials science and supramolecular chemistry has risen. Nevertheless, their ability to form H-bonded complexes has been only marginally touched. Herein we report the first solution and solid-state binding studies of the first double-H-bonded DD·AA-type complexes of a series of aromatic boronic acids that adopt a syn-syn conformation with suitable complementary H-bonding acceptor partners. The first determination of the association constant (Ka) of ortho-substituted boronic acids in solution showed that Ka for 1:1 association is in the range between 300 and 6900 M-1. Crystallization of dimeric 1:1 and trimeric 1:2 and 2:1 complexes enabled an in-depth examination of these complexes in the solid state, proving the selection of the -B(OH)2 syn-syn conformer through a pair of frontal H-bonds with the relevant AA partner. Non-ortho-substituted boronic acids result in "flat" complexes. On the other hand, sterically demanding analogues bearing ortho substituents strive to retain their recognition properties by rotation of the ArB(OH)2 moiety, forming "T-shaped" complexes. Solid-state studies of a diboronic acid and a tetraazanaphthacene provided for the first time the formation of a supramolecular H-bonded polymeric ribbon. On the basis of the conformational dynamicity of the -B(OH)2 functional group, it is expected that these findings will also open new possibilities in metal-free catalysis or organic crystal engineering, where double-H-bonding donor boronic acids could act as suitable organocatalysts or templates for the development of functional materials with tailored organizational properties.

Abstract
The success of multi-armed, peptide-based receptors in supramolecular chemistry traditionally is not only based on the sequence but equally on an appropriate positioning of various peptidic chains to create a multivalent array of binding elements. As a faster, more versatile and alternative access toward (pseudo)peptidic receptors, a new approach based on multiple Ugi four-component reactions (Ugi-4CR) is proposed as a means of simultaneously incorporating several binding and catalytic elements into organizing scaffolds. By employing α-amino acids either as the amino or acid components of the Ugi-4CRs, this multiple multicomponent process allows for the one-pot assembly of podands bearing chimeric peptide-peptoid chains as appended arms. Tripodal, bowl-shaped, and concave polyfunctional skeletons are employed as topologically varied platforms for positioning the multiple peptidic chains formed by Ugi-4CRs. In a similar approach, steroidal building blocks with several axially-oriented isocyano groups are synthesized and utilized to align the chimeric chains with conformational constrains, thus providing an alternative to the classical peptido-steroidal receptors. The branched and hybrid peptide-peptoid appendages allow new possibilities for both rational design and combinatorial production of synthetic receptors. The concept is also expandable to other multicomponent reactions.

Abstract
Chemical investigation of the ethanol extract of soft coral Sinularia sp. collected from the South China Sea led to the isolation of three new polyoxygenated sterols, (3S,23R,24S)-ergost-5-ene-3β,23α,25-triol (1), (24S)-ergostane-6-acetate-3β,5α,6β,25-tetraol (2), (24S)-ergostane-6-acetate-3β,6β,12β,25-tetraol (3) together with three known ones (4-6). The structures, including relative configurations of the new compounds (1-3), were elucidated by detailed analysis of spectroscopic data (IR, UV, NMR, MS) and by comparison with related reported compounds. The absolute configuration of 1 was further determined by modified Mosher's method. Compound 5 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against K562 cell line with an IC(50) value of 3.18 μM, but also displayed strong lethality toward the brine shrimp Artemia salina with a LC(50) value of 0.96 μM.

Abstract
Acyclic receptors incorporating neutral and cationic recognition sites show effective binding of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), the most naturally abundant sialic acid, in highly competitive solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water/DMSO. Receptors 6b and 7b are able to form neutral/charge-reinforced hydrogen bonds and ion pairs with Neu5Ac, similar to sialic acid-binding proteins. Syntheses and binding properties of the artificial receptors are discussed.

Abstract
Novel thermodynamically stable supramolecular donor-acceptor dyads have been synthesized. In particular, we assembled successfully C(60), as an electron acceptor, with the strong electron donor TTF through a complementary guanidinium-carboxylate ion pair. Two strong and well-oriented hydrogen bonds, in combination with ionic interactions, ensure the formation of stable donor-acceptor dyads. The molecular architecture has been fine-tuned by using chemical spacers of different lengths (i.e., phenyl versus biphenyl) and functional groups (i.e., ester versus amide), thus providing meaningful incentives to differentiate between through-bond and through-space electron-transfer scenarios. In electrochemical studies, both the donor and acceptor character of the TTF and C(60) units, respectively, have been clearly identified. Steady-state and time-resolved emission studies, however, show a solvent-dependent fluorescence quenching in C(60)*TTF dyads as well as the formation of the C(60)(*)(-)*TTF(*)(+) radical ion pairs, for which we determined lifetimes that are in the range of hundred of nanoseconds to microseconds. The complex network that connects C(60) with TTF in the dyads and the flexible nature of the spacer result in through-space electron-transfer processes. This first example of electron transfer in C(60)-based dyads, connected by strong hydrogen bonds, demonstrates that this approach can add outstanding benefits to the construction of artificial photosynthetic systems that bear a closer resemblance to the natural one.

Abstract
Original inhibitors of HIV-1 protease based on a chiral bicyclic guanidinium scaffold linked to short peptidic mimics of the terminal protease sequences and to a lipophilic group were designed. These inhibitors prevent dimerization of the native protease by an interfacial structure at the highly conserved antiparallel beta-strand involving both the N and C termini that substantially account for dimerization. The preorganized guanidinium spacer introduces additional electrostatic hydrogen-bonding interactions with the C-terminal Phe-99 carboxylate. Lipophilic residues linked to side chains and the guanidinium scaffold are essential for dimerization inhibition as ascertained by Zhang kinetics (4, K(id) = 290 nM; 6 or 6', K(id) = 150 nM; 8, K(id) = 400 nM) combined with a circular dichroism study on the enzyme thermal stability. Remarkably, less hydrophobic compounds result in mixed dimerization (1a and 3) or active site inhibitors (5). Removal of the guanidinium hydrophobic groups leads to less active or inactive ligands.
