Water and Air Stable Copper(I) Complexes of Tetracationic Catenane Ligands for Oxidative C-C Cross-Coupling. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202405971.

Abstract
Aqueous soluble and stable Cu(I) molecular catalysts featuring a catenane ligand composed of two dicationic, mutually repelling but mechanically interlocked macrocycles are reported. The ligand interlocking not only fine-tunes the coordination sphere and kinetically stabilizes the Cu(I) against air oxidation and disproportionation, but also buries the hydrophobic portions of the ligands and prevents their dissociation which are necessary for their good water solubility and a sustained activity. These catenane Cu(I) complexes can catalyze the oxidative C-C coupling of indoles and tetrahydroisoquinolines in water, using H2O2 as a green oxidant with a good substrate scope. The successful use of catenane ligands in exploiting aqueous Cu(I) catalysis thus highlights the many unexplored potential of mechanical bond as a design element for exploring transition metal catalysis under challenging conditions.

Abstract
Nanorotor R1 (420 kHz) was assembled from five components utilizing three orthogonal interactions. Post-modification at the distal position generated the advanced six component rotor R2 (45 kHz). The decrease in R2 speed leads to the inhibition of a three-component reaction by reducing catalyst release.

Abstract
Stepwise dissipative control of two distinct motions, i.e., shuttling and sliding, is demonstrated in a single multicomponent device. When [2]rotaxane 1, which acts as a biped, and deck 2 were treated with AgBF4/PhCH2Br+NEt3 as chemical fuel, the transient catenate [Ag(1)]+ ⋅ [Ag3(2)]3+ was instantly generated showing multimodal motion and autonomous return to 1 and 2. In the dissipative process, catenate [Ag(1)]+ ⋅ [Ag3(2)]3+ cleanly transformed into the follow-up transient device (1) ⋅ [Ag3(2)]3+ exhibiting only sliding motion. Two interference-free dissipative cycles proved the resilience and robustness of the process.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate the selective dissipative and orthogonal actuation of two distinct molecular devices controlled by alternate fuel use. When the multicomponent ensemble of [2]rotaxane 1 and turnstile [Cu(2)(3)]+ was charged with AgBF4 as chemical fuel (Fuel 1) together with NEt3/PhCH2Br (cofuels), the transiently formed [Ag(1)]+ showed a stochastic shuttling of the silver macrocycle between two degenerate triazole stations on the thread (k298 = 1.2 × 105 s-1), whereas [Cu(2)(3)]+ was unperturbed. Instead, treatment of the mixture with PPh3 as an alternative fuel (Fuel 2) in the presence of oxidant 4 (cofuel) generated the complex [Cu(3)(PPh3)2]+ and transient thermal motion in rotor 2 (k298 = 4.9 × 104 s-1), whereas rotaxane 1 stayed dormant. Thus, two distinct chemical fuels selectively and orthogonally activated two distinct transient motion devices from a multicomponent mixture. In total, four interference-free dissipative cycles were demonstrated by using alternating fuel additions.

Abstract
The assembly of a [2]semirotaxane from a half-dumbbell endowed with a pyrazine coordination site and a bis-Zn(II) porphyrin cage as a multisite ring is reported. The threading is allosterically driven by the coordination of silver(I) ions to the multiple binding sites of the cage linkers, as shown by NMR studies. Addition of chloride ions destabilizes [2]semirotaxane, leading to its disassembly into its cage and half-dumbbell components.

Abstract
We demonstrate self-healing of the shuttling dynamics of a molecular machine operating by negative feedback. When zinc(II) was added to the copper(I)-loaded [2]rotaxane shuttle [Cu(R)]+, copper(I) was replaced, thereby generating the static zinc(II)-loaded [2]rotaxane [Zn(R)]2+. Loss of the dynamics was accompanied by a fluorescence enhancement at λ = 364 nm. Notably, the released copper(I) ions catalyzed the formation of a bis-triazole ligand, which selectively captured zinc(II). As a result, the copper(I) was restored in the rotaxane, and the dynamic shuttling motion of [Cu(R)]+ was regained. The healing was conveniently followed by diagnostic fluorescence changes.

Abstract
Boolean operations with multiple catalysts as output are yet unknown using molecular logic. The issue is solved using a two-component ensemble, composed of a receptor and rotaxane, which acts as a three-input AND gate with a dual catalytic output. Actuation of the ensemble gate by the stoichiometric addition of metal ions (Ag+ and Cd2+) and 2,2,2-trifluoroacetic acid generated in the (1,1,1) truth table state a catalyst duo that synergistically enabled a three-step reaction, furnishing a dihydroisoquinoline as the output of a three-input logic AND gate operation.
