Anion Recognition by a Pincer-Type Host Constructed from Two Polyamide Macrocyclic Frameworks Jointed by a Photo-Addressable Azobenzene Switch. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:692.

Abstract
A sterically crowded light-responsive host 1 was synthetized with a 93% yield by applying a post-functionalization protocol utilizing the double amidation of 4,4'-azodibenzoyl dichloride with a readily available 26-membered macrocyclic amine. X-ray structures of two hydrates of trans-1 demonstrate a very different alignment of the azobenzene linkage, which is involved in T-shape or parallel-displaced π⋯π stacking interactions with the pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide moieties from the macrocyclic backbone. Despite the rigidity of the macrocyclic framework, which generates a large steric hindrance around the azobenzene chromophore, the host 1 retains the ability to undergo a reversible cis⟷trans isomerization upon irradiation with UVA (368 nm) and blue (410 nm) light. Moreover, thermal cis→trans back-isomerization (ΔG0 = 106.5 kJ∙mol-1, t½ = 141 h) is markedly slowed down as compared to the non-macrocyclic analog. 1H NMR titration experiments in DMSO-d6/0.5% water solution reveal that trans-1 exhibits a strong preference for dihydrogenphosphate (H2PO4-) over other anions (Cl-, MeCO2-, and PhCO2-), whereas the photogenerated metastable cis-1 shows lower affinity for the H2PO4- anion.

Abstract
We designed and synthesized a medium-firm drug-candidate library of cryptand-like structures possessing a randomized peptide linker on the bacteriophage T7. From the macrocyclic library with a 109 diversity, we obtained a binder toward a cancer-related protein (Hsp90) with an antibody-like strong affinity (KD = 62 nM) and the binding was driven by the enthalpy. The selected supramolecular ligand inhibited Hsp90 activity by site-specific binding outside of the well-known ATP-binding pocket on the N-terminal domain (NTD).

Abstract
In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of the solid state structures of three well-resolved hydrates of macrocyclic host molecules 1a, 1b, and 2 containing an intrannular amide-aryl substituent (lariat arm) connected to a fixed 26-membered ring in a normal (-NHCOAr, hosts 1a and 1b) or reverse manner (-CONHAr, host 2). Despite different chemical structures, these hosts crystallize as isostructural tetrahydrates in the same P-1 space group. Moreover, their crystals exhibit identical hydrogen bond motifs resulting in a stabilization of an almost identical unusual octameric water cluster built from the cyclic tetramer core and four water molecules, attached sequentially in an "up-and-down" manner. Further analysis reveals that, among the series, the structure of host 2 provides the most suitable environment for the accommodation of this type of water cluster.

Abstract
A series of 22-membered unclosed cryptands end-capped with intra-annular methyl (1), phenyl (2), p-tert-butylphenyl (3), and p-nitrophenyl (4) amide substituents (lariat arm) were synthesized to elucidate the effect of steric and electronic factors on their anion recognition behavior. The 1H NMR titrations in DMSO-d 6 with 0.5% water reveal enhanced selectivity for H2PO4 - vs Cl- and PhCO2 -. The para-attachment of the electron-withdrawing nitro group (-NO2 vs -H and -t-Bu) was found to increase anion-binding affinity, whereas the steric bulkiness of lariat arm (methyl vs aryl) has a marginal effect. DFT calculations reveal that binding of H2PO4 - is associated with minimal conformational change in the lariat arm moiety and involve four hydrogen bond acceptor and one donor sites of host.

Abstract
Carboxylate sensing solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) were created to provide a proof-of-concept ISE development process covering all aspects from in silico ionophore design to functional sensor characterization. The biscarbazolylurea moiety was used to synthesize methylene-bridged macrocycles of different ring size aiming to fine tune selectivity towards different carboxylates. Cyclization was achieved with two separate strategies, using either amide synthesis to access up to –[CH2]10– macrocycles or acyl halides to access up to –[CH2]14– macrocycles. Seventy-five receptor–anion complexes were modelled and studied with COSMO-RS, in addition to all free host molecules. In order to predict initial selectivity towards carboxylates, 1H NMR relative titrations were used to quantify binding in DMSO-d6/H2O solvent systems of two proportions – 99.5%:0.5% m/m and 90.0%:10.0% m/m, suggesting initial selectivity towards acetate. Three ionophores were selected for successful sensor prototype development and characterization. The constructed ion-selective electrodes showed higher selectivity towards benzoate than acetate, i.e., the selectivity patterns of the final sensors deviated from that predicted by the classic titration experiments. While the binding constants obtained by NMR titration in DMSO-d6/H2O solvent systems provided important guidance for sensor development, the results obtained in this work emphasize the importance of evaluating the binding behavior of receptors in real sensor membranes.

Herein we present

properties of 12 new receptors from the unclosed cryptand family.
Their core is built on the stable 26-membered tetraamidic macrocyclic
scaffold, whereas various alkyl and aryl urea substituents were introduced
after a yield-limiting macrocyclization step (65–98%). The
receptors strongly bind anions, in particular carboxylates, even in
a highly competitive solvent mixture (DMSO-d6 + H2O 95:5 v/v).

Abstract
We report a high-pressure approach to facile late-stage functionalization of unclosed cryptands (UCs) (11 examples, yield up to 99%). Direct comparison of classic and high-pressure conditions of the quaternization reaction in a sterically crowded intraannular position is investigated, and differences in the reactivity of tertiary amine substrates are discussed. Finally, we demonstrated the application of UCs as catalysts for synthetically important alkylation reactions under phase-transfer conditions.

Abstract
A new protocol for PTC-mediated O-alkylation of the intraannular position of 20-membered unclosed cryptands (UCs) is reported. In contrast to the classical, "direct" strategy, which requires functionalization of the lariat arm at the beginning of synthesis, this "indirect" approach enables the late-stage introduction of various benzylic substituents after an unfavorable macrocyclization step (11 examples, yields up to 98%). Notably, this method permits preparation of, previously inaccessible, crowded UCs bearing 1-acetylpyrene substituent and dimer joined by p-xylene linker.

Abstract
An understanding of host-guest noncovalent interactions lies at the very heart of supramolecular chemistry. Often a minute change to the structure of a host molecule's binding site can have a dramatic impact on a prospective host-guest binding event, changing the relative selectivity for potential guest molecules. With the overall goal of aiding the rational design of selective and effective receptors for anions, we have studied the influence of small perturbations in binding site geometry for a series of five closely related 20-membered macrocyclic tetra-amide receptors, constructed from two building blocks from a pool of azulene-5,7-bisamide, azulene-1,3-bisamide, and dipicolinic bisamide units. The solid-state structures revealed that the conformational preferences of the free receptors are driven by the inherent preferences of the building blocks, yet in some cases the macrocyclic topology is able to over-ride these to promote pre-organized conformations favorable for anion binding. The solid-state structures of the chloride complexes of these receptors revealed that although all the receptors can adapt to binding to the challenging small Cl- guest with all the NH groups, only receptors containing azulene-5,7-bisamide units form short and linear, and therefore strong, hydrogen-bonding interactions. These conclusions are further supported by studies in solution. Although all the receptors showed high affinities toward a series of anions (H2 PO4- , PhCO2- , Cl- , and Br- ), even in a highly competitive polar medium (DMSO/25 % MeOH), only receptors containing azulene-5,7-bisamide units exhibited non-inherent selectivity for Cl- over PhCO2- , breaking the Hofmeister trend of selectivity. The data presented herein highlight the privileged properties of the azulene-5,7-bisamide building block for binding to chloride anions and provide guidelines for the construction of selective and efficient anion receptors with prospective practical applications.

Abstract
A new photoswitchable anion receptor 1 based on a tetra-meta-substituted azobenzene skeleton has been readily synthesized in two steps. Titration studies (1H NMR) and theoretical predictions (DFT/M06-2X/6-31G(d)/DMSO-SM8) revealed that nonplanar Z-1 is a better host for anions than E-1, which results from the greater ability of four amide NH protons in the Z-state to cooperatively bind oxoanions, in particular tetrahedral H2PO4- and H2AsO4-. Furthermore, the thermal decay of Z-1 (τ1/2 = 11 days) is not accelerated by anion binding.

Abstract
Searching for regularities in the large set of structurally diverse macrocyclic probes allowed us to determine the structural requirements for the selective recognition of chloride over more basic anions such as H2PO4− or RCO2− by a putative anion receptor.

Abstract
A practical four-step synthesis of a model 26-membered N-Boc-protected macrocycle, starting from commercially available and inexpensive materials, is reported. The crucial macrocyclization step does not require high-dilution conditions and is completed in a short time (8 h). The high yield of macrocyclization (61%) is achieved owing to templation by intramolecular H-bonds and a chloride anion, which both help to adopt a favorable folded conformation of the open-chain intermediate. Finally, mild, selective, and efficient incorporation of intraannular amide function leading to five diversely functionalized unclosed cryptands (UCs) is described.

Abstract
More selective than crown ethers, cryptands arise as suitable hosts for several ions, with the size of the cavity and the behavior of the atoms belonging to the structure being the main factors governing their selectivity.

Abstract
Herein, we report that thermal Z→E isomerisation of simple azobenzene urea derivatives is selectively and predictably controlled by anion binding. The rate of this process depends strictly on the anion concentration and its binding affinity to the Z-isomer of the azobenzene host, i.e. increased rate constants are observed for higher anion concentration as well as for more strongly bound guests. The origin of this phenomenon is attributed to the electron density transfer from the anion to the host π-system, resulting in increased repulsion between the lone electron pairs in the N=N bond.
