[PMID: 37830245 DOI: 10.1002/cplu.202300427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
Calix[4]pyrroles are an important class of oligopyrrolic macrocycles and have found applications in many diverse fields including anion recognition. To modulate the properties of the calix[4]pyrrole, several structural modifications are realized. The core-expansion has attracted extra attention as it provides larger cavity-size compared to parent calix[4]pyrrole(s). This review highlights the synthetic development of various core-expanded calix[4]pyrroles and their applications in anion-binding properties. Emphasis is given to the changes in the binding properties observed with expanded versions of calix[4]pyrrole(s) in both solution and the solid states. The expanded versions of calix[4]pyrrole do not always show higher binding affinities for larger anions as anticipated. Rather, they display reduced affinities with the anions. The truncated form or asymmetric nature of the expanded versions of calix[4]pyrrole does not probably allow to access all the available binding sites for the anions and hence reduced binding affinities are observed. The receptors which contain a greater number of binding sites and are somehow rigid or preorganized apparently show enhanced binding affinities for anions. The relative binding constants for halide series indicate that the enlarged molecules are more beneficial for largest iodide among others. However, most of the receptors show selectivity towards smallest fluoride over other anions studied.

Abstract
π-Extension in porphyrinoids can be achieved by fusing additional aromatic rings onto the macrocycle's periphery and such porphyrinoids are referred to as annulated porphyrinoids. Annulated porphyrinoids display contrasting properties in comparison with their non-annulated congeners. While an annulation strategy can create π-extended systems, the simultaneous incorporation of conformational rigidity in such porphyrinoids can ensure that they adopt a planar structure, and the advantages associated with the extended π-network can be leveraged. Hence, while synthesizing such porphyrinoids, judicial selection of the precursor becomes important. The ease of synthesis and the presence of a β-β'-linked o-phenylene bridge qualify 3,8-1,10-dihydrobenzo[e]pyrrolo[3,2-g]indole, commonly known as naphthobipyrrole, to be one such precursor suitable for the synthesis of conformationally rigid annulated porphyrinoids. This field of study has started to bloom only in the last decade and the examples reported so far are confined to the naphtho-versions of porphycenes (isomeric porphyrin), a few members of the aromatic/antiaromatic expanded porphyrinoids, and calix[n]bipyrroles. In view of this, the current review article aims to summarize the up-to-date developments in this area and discusses the synthesis, structure, and properties of the reported naphthobipyrrole-derived annulated porphyrinoids.

Abstract
The structure and anion recognition dynamics between calix[4]pyrroles and azide (N3-) anions in the form of its TBA+ and Na+ salts were investigated in dimethyl sulfoxide solutions by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and ultrafast IR spectroscopy. Vibrational energy redistribution of the N3- anion in the complex is accelerated through hydrogen bonding interactions with the N-H proton of the receptor. Rotational dynamics of the bound N3- is greatly restricted, demonstrating a distinct countercation effect. The detailed binding modes of N3- with the receptor were further evaluated by the density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. All of these measurements support the notion that the calix[4]pyrroles are capable of capturing the azide anion in solution. However, the calix[4]pyrroles may not necessarily undergo a conformational change to a cone-like geometry when they bind to the azide anion in the solution.

Abstract
Synthesis of tetrapyrrane 8 from acetone and pyrrole via one-step condensation was achieved for the first time along with a much-improved yield of the tripyrrane 9. Diborylation of the tetrapyrrane and subsequent "1 + 1" cyclocoupling with 1,2-diiodobenzene following the Suzuki protocol generated novel o-phenylene incorporated macrocycle belonging to the smallest meso-expanded calix[4]pyrrole family. The latter macrocycle displays exclusive turn-on fluorescence sensing of fluoride ion upon complexation via a unique partial cone conformation supported by DFT analysis in acetonitrile solvent.

Abstract
A calix[4]pyrrole strapped by benzenebistriazole has been prepared as an artificial anion binding receptor. This neutral anion receptor shows high sulfate binding affinity and selectivity in an aqueous solution. In solid state, the receptor binds the sulfate anion in a chair-like 3D cavity via multiple N-H and C-H hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry is a central topic in modern chemistry. It touches on many traditional disciplines, such as organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, materials chemistry, environmental chemistry, and biological chemistry. Supramolecular hosts, inter alia macrocyclic hosts, play critical roles in supramolecular chemistry. Calix[4]pyrroles, non-aromatic tetrapyrrolic macrocycles defined by sp3 hybridized meso bridges, have proved to be versatile receptors for neutral species, anions, and cations, as well as ion pairs. Compared to the parent system, octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole and its derivatives bearing simple appended functionalities, strapped calix[4]pyrroles typically display enhanced binding affinities and selectivities. In this review, we summarize advances in the design and synthesis of strapped calix[4]pyrroles, as well as their broad utility in molecular recognition, supramolecular extraction, separation technology, ion transport, and as agents capable of inhibiting cancer cell proliferation. Future challenges within this sub-field are also discussed.

Abstract
The binding properties of the pyrrole-strapped calix[4]pyrrole 2 for cesium halide ion pairs were studied via 1H NMR spectroscopic and single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Receptor 2 was found to bind CsF, CsCl, and CsBr in the solid state and in chloroform/methanol (4/1, v/v) solution with relatively high affinity as compared with the parent calix[4]pyrrole 1. It was also revealed by solid-liquid extraction experiments that receptor 2 was capable of solubilizing CsF in CDCl3, a medium in which this salt is otherwise insoluble. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and 1H NMR spectroscopic data recorded in 20% CD3OD in CDCl3 provide support for the suggestion that the strap pyrrolic NH proton of 2, as well as those of the calix[4]pyrrole framework, contribute to anion recognition, thus increasing affinity for cesium halide salts relative to the parent system 1. In the solid state, receptor 2 interacts with CsF to form a two dimensional coordination polymer in the presence of methanol. A linear coordination polymer is observed in the case of CsCl and CsBr. Receptor 2 was also found to form a complex with CsF in chloroform/methanol (4/1, v/v) solution, albeit with a different binding mode than is seen in the solid state.
