SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 305:123499.

Abstract
The realization of drug detection in drug-using crime sites can provide law enforcement officials with direct evidence. This research has developed and demonstrated an easy-to-use handheld sensor that can quickly detect methamphetamine (MA) in the field. The core of the handheld UV spectrophotometer device (HUVSD) is the STM32F103 series of single-chip micro-controller, which has a 32-bit microcontroller and two embedded 12-bit high-precision analog-to-digital converter (ADC) modules. Through Bluetooth-wireless transmission protocol, the spectral information can be displayed in the cell phone's app, and it is possible to visually determine whether the test sample contains methamphetamine hydrochloride substances based on the characteristic peak at 410 nm. The readily available and inexpensive inducible compound 3A and the phosphate pillar[5]arene@silver nanoparticle (PP5@AgNPs) colloidal solution were used as the reactants. The PP5@AgNPs colloidal solution and 3A were mixed and reacted at room temperature, and the color changed to gray-black. The color change was caused by the aggregation of AgNPs induced by the molecular recognition between the induction compound 3A and PP5 on the AgNPs surface. After continuing to add the drug MA, the color of the colloidal solution turned yellow again. This is due to the occurrence of competitive molecular recognition, and the interaction between PP5 and 3A/MA was investigated by molecular docking simulations. The HUVSD has high sensitivity, simple equipment, time-saving, color change visualization and suitable for on-site deployment. It only needs a Pasteur pipette, which has great potential to realize rapid on-site detection.

Abstract
High-energy, low-sensitivity energetic cocrystals are one successful application of the supramolecular strategy. The practical application of cocrystal explosives requires an in-depth understanding of the stability of their crystal phase structure under long-term heating, but relevant research is rare. In this study, the CL-20/MTNP (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12-hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane/1-methyl-3,4,5-trinitropyrazole) cocrystal was selected as a representative cocrystal explosive to investigate its crystal phase structure stability under long-term heating. The phase separation of the CL-20/MTNP cocrystal was observed for the first time. It was revealed that the MTNP molecules at crystal defects first underwent molecular rotation, which weakened interactions between CL-20 and MTNP molecules. Then, the MTNP molecules diffused along channels surrounded by CL-20 molecules to the crystal surface and escaped to generate γ-CL-20. We call this process the "thermal escape" of MTNP, whose effect on the safety performance of the CL-20/MTNP cocrystal was studied by comparing the mechanical sensitivity of samples with different degrees of thermal escape. The mechanical sensitivity of the CL-20/MTNP cocrystal did not greatly change during the induction period, but it increased upon the loss of MTNP. Moreover, the thermal escape kinetics for the two stages were obtained to prevent or control their thermal escape. The prediction of the kinetics confirmed the validity of the kinetic analysis. This study promotes the performance evaluation and application of CL-20/MTNP cocrystals and also provides a new perspective in the investigation of cocrystal explosives.

Abstract
ConspectusProteins exhibit high-binding affinity and selectivity, as well as remarkable catalytic performance. Their binding pockets are hydrophobic but also contain polar and charged groups to contribute to the binding of polar organic molecules in aqueous solution. In the past decades, the synthesis of biomimetic receptors featuring sizable aromatic cavities equipped with converging polar groups has received considerable attention. "Temple" cages, naphthotubes, and aryl-extended calix[4]pyrroles are privileged examples of synthetic scaffolds displaying functionalized hydrophobic cavities capable of binding polar substrates. In particular, calix[4]pyrroles are macrocycles containing four pyrrole rings connected through their pyrrolic 2- and 5-positions by tetra-substituted sp3 carbon atoms (meso-substituents). In 1996, Sessler introduced the meso-octamethyl calix[4]pyrrole as an outstanding receptor for anion binding. Independently, Sessler and Floriani also showed that the introduction of aryl substituents in the meso-positions produced aryl-extended calix[4]pyrroles as a mixture of configurational isomers. In addition, aryl-extended calix[4]pyrroles bearing two and four meso-aryl substituents (walls) were reported. The cone conformation of "two-wall" αα-aryl-extended calix[4]pyrroles features an aromatic cleft with a polar binding site defined by four converging pyrrole NHs. On the other hand, "four-wall" αααα-calix[4]pyrrole isomers possess a deep polar aromatic cavity closed at one end by the converging pyrrole NHs. Because of their functionalized interior, aryl-extended calix[4]pyrroles are capable of binding anions, ion-pairs, and electron-rich neutral molecules in organic solvents. However, in water, they are restricted to the inclusion of neutral polar guests.Since the early 2000s, our research group has been involved in the design and synthesis of "two-wall" and "four-wall" aryl-extended calix[4]pyrroles and their derivatives, such as aryl-extended calix[4]pyrrole cavitands and super aryl-extended calix[4]pyrroles. In this Account, we mainly summarize our own results on the binding of charged and neutral polar guests with these macrocyclic receptors in organic solvents and in water. We also describe the applications of calix[4]pyrrole derivatives in the sensing of creatinine, the facilitated transmembrane transport of anions and amino acids, and the monofunctionalization of bis-isonitriles. Moreover, we explain the use of calix[4]pyrrole receptors as model systems for the quantification of anion-π interactions and the hydrophobic effect. Finally, we discuss the self-assembly of dimeric capsules and unimolecular metallo-cages based on calix[4]pyrrole scaffolds. We comment on their binding properties, as well as on those of bis-calix[4]pyrroles having a fully covalent structure.In molecular recognition, aryl-extended calix[4]pyrroles and their derivatives are considered valuable receptors owing to their ability to interact with a wide variety of electron-rich, neutral, and charged guests. Calix[4]pyrrole scaffolds have also been applied in the development of molecular sensors, ionophores, transmembrane carriers, supramolecular protecting groups and molecular containers modulating chemical reactivity, among others. We believe that the design of new calix[4]pyrrole receptors and the investigation of their binding properties may lead to promising applications in many research areas, such as supramolecular catalysis, chemical biology and materials science. We hope that this Account will serve to spread the knowledge of the supramolecular chemistry of calix[4]pyrroles among supramolecular and nonsupramolecular chemists alike.

Abstract
Simple macrocyclic water-soluble hosts such as cucurbiturils, cyclophanes, and calixarenes have long been used for biosensing via indicator displacement assays. Using multiple hosts and dyes in an arrayed format allows pattern recognition-based "chemical nose" sensing, which confers exquisite selectivity, even rivaling the abilities of biological recognition tools such as antibodies. However, a challenge in indicator displacement-based biosensing with macrocyclic hosts is that selectivity and scope are often inversely correlated: strong selectivity for a specific target can limit wide application, and broad scope sensing can suffer from a lack of selectivity between similar targets. This problem can be addressed by using water-soluble, self-folding deep cavitands as hosts. These flexible bowl-shaped receptors can be easily functionalized with different motifs at the upper and lower rim, and the large cavities can bind many different fluorescent dyes, causing either fluorescence enhancement or quenching upon binding.Cavity-based affinity is strongest for NMe3+ groups such as trimethyl-lysine, and we have exploited this for the site-selective recognition of post-translational lysine methylations in oligopeptides. The host recognizes the NMe3+ group, and by applying differently functionalized hosts in an arrayed format, discrimination between identical modifications at different positions on the oligopeptide is possible. Multiple recognition elements can be exploited for selectivity, including a defined, yet "breathable" cavity, and variable upper rim functions oriented toward the target.While the performance of the host/guest sensing system is impressive for lysine methylations, the most important advance is the use of multiple different sensing mechanisms that can target a broad range of different biorelevant species. The amphiphilic deep cavitands can both bind fluorescent dyes and interact with charged biomolecules. These non-cavity-based interactions, when paired with additives such as heavy metal ions, modulate fluorescence response in an indirect manner, and these different mechanisms allow selective recognition of serine phosphorylation, lysine acetylation, and arginine citrullination. Other targets include heavy metals, drugs of abuse, and protein isoforms. Furthermore, the hosts can be applied in supramolecular tandem assays of enzyme function: the broad scope allows analysis of such different enzymes as chromatin writers/erasers, kinases, and phosphatases, all from a single host scaffold. Finally, the indirect sensing concept allows application in sensing different oligonucleotide secondary structures, including G-quadruplexes, hairpins, triplexes, and i-motifs. Discrimination between DNA strands with highly similar structures such as G-quadruplex strands with bulges and vacancies can be achieved. Instead of relying on a single highly specific fluorescent probe, the synthetic hosts tune the fluorophore-DNA interaction, introducing multiple recognition equilibria that modulate the fluorescence signal. By applying machine learning algorithms, a classification model can be established that can accurately predict the folding state of unknown sequences. Overall, the unique recognition profile of self-folded deep cavitands provides a powerful, yet simple sensing platform, one that can be easily tuned for a wide scope of biorelevant targets, in complex biological media, without sacrificing selectivity in the recognition.

Abstract
Calixarenes are reportedly excellent activators that can remarkably improve the transport efficiencies of cell penetrating peptides. We employed eight calixarenes to systematically study the influence of structure on activation efficiency, which revealed that the scaffold, head group, and alkyl chain are all significant factors for activation efficiency by affecting affinities with the peptide and membrane.

Abstract
A brand-new self-folding biscavitand was synthesized from a feet-to-feet-connected bisresorcinarene. The X-ray crystal structure of the biscaivtand showed that the two cavities are tightly connected with four butylene linkages. The conformationally coupled two cavities accommodated two cationic guests, showing a homotropic negative cooperativity in nonpolar solvents (toluene and chloroform). A polar tetrahydrofuran solvent weakened the cyclic hydrogen bonding interactions of the biscavitand, which resulted in noncooperative guest binding.

Abstract
We report the linear extension from M1 to M2 to anthracene walled M3 which adopts a helical conformation (X-ray) to avoid unfavorable interactions between sidewalls. M3 is water soluble (=30 mm) and displays enhanced optical properties (ϵ=1.28×105 m-1 cm-1 , λmax =370 nm) relative to M2. The binding properties of M3 toward guests 1-29 were examined by 1 H NMR and ITC. The M3⋅guest complexes are stronger than the analogous complexes of M2 and M1. The enhanced binding of M3 toward neuromuscular blockers 25, 27-29 suggests that M3 holds significant promise as an in vivo reversal agent. The changes in fluorescence observed for M3⋅guest complexes are a function of the relative orientation of the anthracene sidewalls, guest concentration, Ka , and guest electronics which rendered M3 a superb component of a fluorescence sensing array. The work establishes M3 as a next generation sequestering agent and a versatile component of fluorescence sensors.

Abstract
Here we report a Ag-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between aryl diazonium salts and Seyferth-Gilbert reagent in a regioselective manner. This operationally simple transformation proceeds in an atom-economical way under mild reaction conditions, providing facile access to a broad set of phosphonylated tetrazoles. The synthetic utility of this method is further showcased by a straightforward procedure from upstream aromatic amines, denitrogenation transformations, and preparation of a phosphonylated drug scaffold.

Abstract
The title two-dimensional coordination polymer, [Zn(C6H5PO3)]
n
, was synthesized serendipitously by reacting a tetraphosphonate cavitand Tiiii[C3H7, CH3, C6H5] and Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O in a DMF/H2O mixture. The basic conditions of the reaction cleaved the phosphonate bridges at the upper rim of the cavitand, making them available for reaction with the zinc ions. The coordination polymer can be described as an inorganic layer in which zinc coordinates the oxygen atoms of the phosphonate groups in a distorted tetrahedral environment, while the phenyl groups, which are statistically disordered over two orientations, point up and down with respect to the layer. The layers interact through van der Waals interactions. The crystal studied was refined as a two-component twin.

Abstract
Velcrands are a specific class of cavitands whose complementary surfaces induce self-dimerization. The insertion of a velcrand as physical cross-linking unit into a polymer is reported. To this purpose, the velcrand was functionalized at the lower rim with an isocyanate group. The functional velcrand was reacted with poly (ethylene-co-(2-hydroxethylmethacrylate)) (PE-HEMA), a polymer equipped with free hydroxyl groups suitable for reaction with the isocyanate group. The obtained functionalized polymer was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proving the introduction of velcraplexes in the polymer. Films with varying amounts of velcrands were obtained by solution casting and slow evaporation, testifying the processability of the functionalized polymers. The obtained films were used to measure the oxygen barrier properties of the functionalized material.

Abstract
Two synthetic protocols for the introduction of fluorine atoms into resorcinarene-based cavitands, at the lower and upper rim, respectively, are reported. Cavitand 1, bearing four fluorocarbon tails, and cavitand 2, which presents a fluorine atom on the para position of a diester phosphonate phenyl substituent, were synthesized and their complexation abilities toward the model guest sarcosine methyl ester hydrochloride were evaluated via NMR titration experiments. The effect of complexation on the 19F NMR resonance of the probe is evident only in the case of cavitand 2, where the inset of the cation-dipole and H-bonding interactions between the P=O bridges and the guest is reflected in a sizable downfield shift of the fluorine probe.

Abstract
The crystal structure of a new supra-molecular complex between the tetra-phos-pho-nate cavitand 5,11,17,23-tetra-methyl-6,10:12,16:18,22:24,4-tetra-kis(phenyl-phospho-nato-κ2O,O')resorcin(4)arene and the nitrosyl cation NO+, as the BF4- salt, is reported. The complex, of general formula [(C56H44P4O12)(NO)]BF4·CH2Cl2 or NO@Tiiii[H, CH3, C6H5] BF4·CH2Cl2, crystallizes in the space group P-1. The nitrosyl cation is disordered over two equivalent positions, with occupancies of 0.503 (2) and 0.497 (2), and inter-acts with two adjacent P=O groups at the upper rim of the cavitand through dipole-charge inter-actions. In the lattice, the cavitands are connected through a series of C-H⋯π inter-actions involving the methyl and methyl-enic H atoms and the aromatic rings of the macrocycle. The structure is further stabilized by the presence of C-H⋯F inter-actions between the hydrogen atoms of the cavitands and the F atoms of the tetra-fluorido-borate anion. As a result of the disorder, the lattice di-chloro-methane mol-ecules could not be modelled in terms of atomic sites, and were treated using the PLATON SQUEEZE procedure [Spek (2015 ▸). Acta Cryst. C71, 9-18]. The complexation process has also been studied in solution through NMR titrations.

Abstract
Environmental gas sensing needs stringent sensor requirements in terms of sensitivity, selectivity and ruggedness. One of the major issues to be addressed is combining in a single device the conflicting requirements of molecular-level selectivity and low-ppb sensitivity. The exploitation of synthetic molecular receptors as sensing materials is particularly attractive to address the selectivity issue, to single out the desired analytes in the presence of overwhelming amounts of interferents. This minireview summarizes the strategies in environmental gas and vapor sensing using molecular receptors as selective hosts for specific analytes, with the main focus on cavitands. In particular, we highlight the use of these macrocycles as selective preconcentrator units to be integrated into portable devices for environmental monitoring. Depending on the class of analytes to be detected, the molecular recognition properties of cavitands can be manipulated through the proper choice of the bridging groups at the upper rim, and their transducer integration can be implemented through the manifold functionalization options at the lower rim.

Abstract
We measured the affinity of five molecular container compounds (calabadions 1 and 2, CB[7], sulfocalix[4]arene, and HP-β-CD) toward seven drugs of abuse in homogenous aqueous solution at physiological pH by various methods (1 H NMR, UV/Vis, isothermal titration calorimetry [ITC]) and found binding constants (Ka values) spanning from <102 to >108 m-1 . We also report X-ray crystal structures of CB[7]⋅methamphetamine and 1⋅methamphetamine. We found that 2, but not CB[7], was able to ameliorate the hyperlocomotive activity of rats treated with methamphetamine. The bioavailability of the calabadions and their convergent building block synthesis suggest potential for further structural optimization as reversal agents for intoxication with nonopioid drugs of abuse for which no treatments are currently available.

Abstract
Binder and effector molecules that allow studying and manipulating epigenetic processes are of biological relevance and pose severe technical challenges. We report the first example of a synthetic receptor able to recognize mono-methylated lysines in a histone H3 tail peptide, which has relevant functions in epigenetic regulation. Recognition is robust and specific regardless of the position and the number of mono-methylated lysines along the polypeptide chain. The peptide is first captured in solution by a tetraphosphonate cavitand (Tiiii) that selectively binds its Lys-NMe+ moieties. Separation from solution and detection of the peptide-Tiiii complexes is then enabled in one single step by an all dielectric SiO2-TiO2 core-shell resonator (T-rex), which captures the complex and operates fully reproducible signal transduction by non-plasmonic surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) without degrading the complex. The realized abiotic probe is able to distinguish multiple mono-methylated peptides from the single mono-methylated ones.

Abstract
New ionophores are essential for advancing the art of selective ion sensing. Metal-organic supercontainers (MOSCs), a new family of biomimetic coordination capsules designed using sulfonylcalix[4]arenes as container precursors, are known for their tunable molecular recognition capabilities towards an array of guests. Herein, we demonstrate the use of MOSCs as a new class of size-selective ionophores dedicated to electrochemical sensing of molecular ions. Specifically, a MOSC molecule with its cavities matching the size of methylene blue (MB+), a versatile organic molecule used for bio-recognition, was incorporated into a polymeric mixed-matrix membrane and used as an ion-selective electrode. This MOSC-incorporated electrode showed a near-Nernstian potentiometric response to MB+ in the nano- to micro-molar range. The exceptional size-selectivity was also evident through contrast studies. To demonstrate the practical utility of our approach, a simulated wastewater experiment was conducted using water from the Fyris River (Sweden). It not only showed a near-Nernstian response to MB+ but also revealed a possible method for potentiometric titration of the redox indicator. Our study thus represents a new paradigm for the rational design of ionophores that can rapidly and precisely monitor molecular ions relevant to environmental, biomedical, and other related areas.

Abstract
Monitoring Prostate Cancer (PCa) biomarkers is an efficient way to diagnosis this disease early, since it improves the therapeutic success rate and suppresses PCa patient mortality: for this reason a powerful analytical technique such as electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is already used for this application, but its widespread usability is still hampered by the high cost of commercial ECL equipment. We describe an innovative approach for the selective and sensitive detection of the PCa biomarker sarcosine, obtained by a synergistic ECL-supramolecular approach, in which the free base form of sarcosine acts as co-reagent in a Ru(bpy)3(2+)-ECL process. We used magnetic micro-beads decorated with a supramolecular tetraphosphonate cavitand (Tiiii) for the selective capture of sarcosine hydrochloride in a complex matrix like urine. Sarcosine determination was then obtained with ECL measurements thanks to the complexation properties of Tiiii, with a protocol involving simple pH changes - to drive the capture-release process of sarcosine from the receptor - and magnetic micro-bead technology. With this approach we were able to measure sarcosine in the μM to mM window, a concentration range that encompasses the diagnostic urinary value of sarcosine in healthy subjects and PCa patients, respectively. These results indicate how this ECL-supramolecular approach is extremely promising for the detection of sarcosine and for PCa diagnosis and monitoring, and for the development of portable and more affordable devices.

Abstract
Molecular recognition is among the most important chemical events in living systems and has been emulated in supramolecular chemistry, driven by chemical and biochemical sensing potential. Identifying host-guest association in situ at the interface, between the substrate-bound receptors and the analyte-containing media, is essential to predict complexation performances in term of the receptor conformation, orientation and organization. Herein, we report the first sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy study of molecular recognition at the solid-gas interface. The binding capability of tetraquinoxaline cavitands toward volatile aromatic and aliphatic compounds, namely benzonitrile and acetonitrile, is investigated as test system. We prove the selective complexation of the receptors, organized in a solid-supported hybrid bilayer, toward aromatic compounds. Quantitative analysis allows to correlate the average orientations of the guest molecules and the host binding pockets, establishing "on-axis" complexation of benzonitrile within the cavitand cavity. The study is readily applicable to other receptors, molecular architectures, interfaces and analytes.

Abstract
Cavitands are established tools of supramolecular chemistry and molecular recognition, and they are finding increasing application in sensing and sequestration of physiologically relevant molecules in aqueous solution. The synthesis of a water-soluble, deep cavitand is described. The route comprises six (linear) steps from commercially available precursors, and it relies on the fourfold oligomeric cyclization reaction of resorcinol with 2,3-dihydrofuran that leads to the formation of a shallow resorcinarene framework; condensation with aromatic panels, which deepens the hydrophobic binding cavity; construction of rigid urea functionalities on the upper rim; and the introduction of the water-solubilizing methylimidazolium groups on the lower rim. Late intermediates of the synthesis can be used in the preparation of congener cavitands with different properties and applications, and a sample of such a synthetic procedure is included in this protocol. Emphasis is placed on scaled-up reactions and on purification procedures that afford materials in high yield and avoid chromatographic purification. This protocol provides improvements over previously described procedures, and it enables the preparation of sizable amounts of deep cavitands: 7 g of a water-soluble cavitand can be prepared from resorcinol in 13 working days.

Abstract
SiO2/TiO2 microbeads (T-rex) are promising materials for plasmon-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), offering several key advantages in biodiagnostics. In this paper we report the combination of T-rex beads with tetraphosphonate cavitands (Tiiii), which imparts selectivity toward Nε-methylated lysine. SERS experiments demonstrated the efficiency and selectivity of the T-rex-Tiiii assays in detecting methylated lysine hydrochloride (Nε-Me-Lys-Fmoc) from aqueous solutions, even in the presence of the parent Lys-Fmoc hydrochloride as interferent. The negative results obtained in control experiments using TSiiii ruled out any other form of surface recognition or preferential physisorption. MALDI-TOF analyses on the beads exposed to Nε-Me-Lys-Fmoc revealed the presence of the Tiiii•Nε-Me-Lys-Fmoc complex. Raman analyses based on the intensity ratio of Nε-Me-Lys-Fmoc and cavitand-specific modes resulted in a dose-response plot, which allowed for estimating the concentration of Nε-methylated lysine from initial solutions in the 1 × 10(-3) to 1 × 10(-5) M range. These results can set the basis for the development of new Raman assays for epigenetic diagnostics.

Abstract
A network of reader proteins and enzymes precisely controls gene transcription through the dynamic addition, removal, and recognition of post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histone tails. Histone PTMs work in concert with this network to regulate gene transcription through the histone code, and the dysregulation of PTM maintenance is linked to a large number of diseases, including many types of cancer. A wealth of research aims to elucidate the functions of this code, but our understanding of the effects of PTMs, specifically the methylation of lysine (Lys) and arginine (Arg), is lacking. The development of new tools to study PTMs relies on a sophisticated understanding of the mechanisms that drive protein and small molecule recognition in water. In this review, we outline the physical organic concepts that drive the molecular recognition of Lys and Arg methylation by reader proteins and draw comparisons to the binding mechanisms of small molecule receptors for methylated Lys and Arg that have been developed recently.
