Abstract
The environment around a host-guest complex is defined by intermolecular interactions between the complex, solvent molecules, and counterions. These interactions govern both the solubility of these complexes and the rates of reactions occurring within the host molecules and can be critical to catalytic and separation applications of host-guest systems. However, these interactions are challenging to detect using standard analytical chemistry techniques. Here, we quantify the hydration and ion pairing of a FeII4L4 coordination cage with a set of guest molecules having widely varying physicochemical properties. The impact of guest properties on host ion pairing and hydration was determined through microwave microfluidic measurements paired with principal component analysis (PCA). This analysis showed that introducing guest molecules into solution displaced counterions that were bound to the cage, and that the solvent solubility of the guest has the greatest impact on the solvent and ion-pairing dynamics surrounding the host. Specifically, we found that when we performed PCA of the measured equivalent circuit parameters and the solubility and dipole moment, we observed a high (>90%) explained variance for the first two principal components for each circuit parameter. We also observed that cage-counterion pairing is well-described by a single ion-pairing type, with a one-step reaction model independent of the type of cargo, and that the ion-pairing association constant is reduced for cargo with higher water solubility. Quantifying hydration and cage-counterion interactions is a critical step to building the next generation of design criteria for host-guest chemistries.

Abstract
The incorporation of charged groups proximal to a redox active transition metal center can impact the local electric field, altering redox behavior and enhancing catalysis. Vanadyl salen (salen = N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylideneaminato)) complexes functionalized with a crown ether containing a nonredox active metal cation (V-Na, V-K, V-Ba, V-La, V-Ce, and V-Nd) were synthesized. The electrochemical behavior of this series of complexes was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in solvents with varying polarity and dielectric constant (ε) (acetonitrile, ε = 37.5; N,N-dimethylformamide, ε = 36.7; and dichloromethane, ε = 8.93). The vanadium(V/IV) reduction potential shifted anodically with increasing cation charge compared to a complex lacking a proximal cation (ΔE1/2 > 900 mV in acetonitrile and >700 mV in dichloromethane). In contrast, the reduction potential for all vanadyl salen-crown complexes measured in N,N-dimethylformamide was insensitive to the magnitude of the cationic charge, regardless of the electrolyte or counteranion used. Titration studies of N,N-dimethylformamide into acetonitrile resulted in cathodic shifting of the vanadium(V/IV) reduction potential with increasing concentration of N,N-dimethylformamide. Binding constants of N,N-dimethylformamide (log(KDMF)) for the series of crown complexes show increased binding affinity in the order of V-La > V-Ba > V-K > (salen)V(O), indicating an enhancement of Lewis acid/base interaction with increasing cationic charge. The redox behavior of (salen)V(O) and (salen-OMe)V(O) (salen-OMe = N,N'-ethylenebis(3-methoxysalicylideneamine) was also investigated and compared to the crown-containing complexes. For (salen-OMe)V(O), a weak association of triflate salt at the vanadium(IV) oxidation state was observed through cyclic voltammetry titration experiments, and cation dissociation upon oxidation to vanadium(V) was identified. These studies demonstrate the noninnocent role of solvent coordination and cation/anion effects on redox behavior and, by extension, the local electric field.

Abstract
When biomedical materials come into contact with body fluids, the first reaction that occurs on the material surface is hydration; proteins are then adsorbed and denatured on the hydrated material surface. The amount and degree of denaturation of adsorbed proteins affect subsequent cell behavior, including cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Biomolecules are important for understanding the interactions and biological reactions of biomedical materials to elucidate the role of hydration in biomedical materials and their interaction partners. Analysis of the water states of hydrated materials is complicated and remains controversial; however, knowledge about interfacial water is useful for the design and development of advanced biomaterials. Herein, we summarize recent findings on the hydration of synthetic polymers, supramolecular materials, inorganic materials, proteins, and lipid membranes. Furthermore, we present recent advances in our understanding of the classification of interfacial water and advanced polymer biomaterials, based on the intermediate water concept.

Interaction of anions with the surface of a coordination cage in aqueous solution probed by their effect on a cage-catalysed Kemp elimination. Chem Sci 2021; 12:14781-14791.

Abstract
An octanuclear M8L12 coordination cage catalyses the Kemp elimination reaction of 5-nitro-1,2-benzisoxazole (NBI) with hydroxide to give 2-cyano-4-nitrophenolate (CNP) as the product. In contrast to the previously-reported very efficient catalysis of the Kemp elimination reaction of unsubstituted benzisoxazole, which involves the substrate binding inside the cage cavity, the catalysed reaction of NBI with hydroxide is slower and occurs at the external surface of the cage, even though NBI can bind inside the cage cavity. The rate of the catalysed reaction is sensitive to the presence of added anions, which bind to the 16+ cage surface, displacing the hydroxide ions from around the cage which are essential reaction partners in the Kemp elimination. Thus we can observe different binding affinities of anions to the surface of the cationic cage in aqueous solution by the extent to which they displace hydroxide and thereby inhibit the catalysed Kemp elimination and slow down the appearance of CNP. For anions with a -1 charge the observed affinity order for binding to the cage surface is consistent with their ease of desolvation and their ordering in the Hofmeister series. With anions that are significantly basic (fluoride, hydrogen carbonate, carboxylates) the accumulation of the anion around the cage surface accelerates the Kemp elimination compared to the background reaction with hydroxide, which we ascribe to the ability of these anions to participate directly in the Kemp elimination. This work provides valuable mechanistic insights into the role of the cage in co-locating the substrate and the anionic reaction partners in a cage-catalysed reaction.

Abstract
We have developed catalyst-controlled regiodivergent rearrangements of onium-ylides derived from indole substrates. Oxonium ylides formed in situ from substituted indoles selectively undergo [2,3]- and [1,2]-rearrangements in the presence of a rhodium and a copper catalyst, respectively. The combined experimental and density functional theory (DFT) computational studies indicate divergent mechanistic pathways involving a metal-free ylide in the rhodium catalyzed reaction favoring [2,3]-rearrangement, and a metal-coordinated ion-pair in the copper catalyzed [1,2]-rearrangement that recombines in the solvent-cage. The application of our methodology was demonstrated in the first total synthesis of the indole alkaloid (±)-sorazolon B, which enabled the stereochemical reassignment of the natural product. Further functional group transformations of the rearrangement products to generate valuable synthetic intermediates were also demonstrated.

Abstract
We describe a study of the binding of anions to the surface of an octanuclear coordination cage HW, which carries a 16+ charge, in aqueous solution. Anionic aromatic fluorophores such as fluorescein (and derivatives) and hydroxypyrene tris-sulfonate (HPTS) bind strongly to an extent depending on their charge and hydrophobicity. Job plots indicated binding of up to six such fluorescent anions to HW, implying that one anion can bind to each face of the cubic cage, as previously demonstrated crystallographically with small anions such as halides. The quenching of these fluorophores on association with the cage provides the basis of a fluorescence displacement assay to investigate binding of other anions: addition of analyte (organic or inorganic) anions in titration experiments to an HW/fluorescein combination results in displacement and restoration of the fluorescence from the bound fluorescein, allowing calculation of 1 : 1 binding constants for the HW/anion combinations. Relative binding affinities of simple anions for the cage surface can be approximately rationalised on the basis of ease of desolvation (e.g. F- < Cl- < Br-), electrostatic factors given the 16+ charge on the cage (monoanions < dianions), and extent of hydrophobic surface. The interaction of a di-anionic pH indicator (bromocresol purple) with HW results in a pKa shift, with the surface-bound di-anionic form stabilised by approximately 1 pKa unit compared to the non-bound neutral form due to the charge on the cage.
