Abstract
Tris(phenylureido)calix[6]arene is endowed with unique properties that make it a valuable macrocyclic component for the synthesis of mechanically interlocked molecules. Its three-dimensional and intrinsically nonsymmetric structure is kinetically selective toward two processes: (i) in apolar media, the threading of bipyridinium based axle-like components takes place exclusively from the upper rim; (ii) SN2 alkylation reactions of a pyridylpyridinium precursor engulfed in the cavity occur selectively at pyridylpyridinium nitrogen atom located at the macrocycle upper rim (active template synthesis). Here we exploit such properties to prepare two series of [3]rotaxanes, each consisting of three sequence isomers that arise from the threading of two identical but nonsymmetric wheels on a symmetric thread differing only for the reciprocal orientation of the macrocycles. The features of the calix[6]arene and the active template synthetic approach, together with a careful selection of the precursors, enabled us to selectively synthesise the [3]rotaxane sequence isomers of each series with fast kinetics and high yields. Expedient access to a series of spatially controlled oriented [3]rotaxane isomers via a metal-free active template approach.![]()

Abstract
The thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors of the pseudorotaxane formation between the C3v macrocyclic BODIPY trimers and unsymmetrical secondary ammonium guests are investigated. We find a remarkable substituent effect of the BODIPY trimer on the ring-face selectivity during the threading. The difference in the small substituents (H or CH3) in the macrocyclic host molecules significantly modulated the thermodynamic and kinetic selectivity of the threading direction of the unsymmetrical ammonium ions.

Abstract
Binding constants for thousands of cyclodextrin complexes have been reported in the literature, but much less is known about the kinetics of these host-guest complexes. In the present study, inclusion complexes of bile salts with β-cyclodextrin, γ-cyclodextrin, and a methylated β-cyclodextrin were studied by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) lineshape analysis to explore the structural factors that govern the complexation kinetics. For complexes with β-cyclodextrin, the association rate constants ranged from 2 × 106 to 2 × 107 M-1 s-1 while the dissociation rate constants ranged from 12 to 6000 s-1 at 25 °C. The kinetics were thus significantly slower than for any other β-cyclodextrin complex reported in the literature, due to the large energy barrier for threading the ionic sidechains of the bile salt anions. Bile salts with taurine and glycine sidechains had identical binding affinities, but the kinetics differed by a factor of 10. Introduction of a single hydroxyl group at the binding site of the bile salts reduced the lifetimes and binding constants of the complexes by more than 50 times. The strong temperature dependence of the rate constants revealed that the large activation energies were mainly enthalpic with a small contribution from entropy. The larger γ-cyclodextrin was threaded by the nonionic end of the bile salts, and the kinetics were too fast to be accurately determined. The study demonstrates that ionic groups on guest molecules constitute significant energy barriers for the threading and dethreading of β-cyclodextrin hosts.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cone-shaped molecular rings that have been widely employed in supramolecular/host–guest chemistry because of their low cost, high biocompatibility, stability, wide availability in multiple sizes, and their promiscuity for binding a range of molecular guests in water. Consequently, CD-based host–guest complexes are often employed as templates for the synthesis of mechanically bonded molecules (mechanomolecules) such as catenanes, rotaxanes, and polyrotaxanes in particular. The conical shape and cyclodirectionality of the CD “bead” gives rise to a symmetry-breaking effect when it is threaded onto a molecular “string”; even symmetrical guests are rendered asymmetric by the presence of an encircling CD host. This review focuses on the stereochemical implications of this symmetry-breaking effect in mechanomolecules, including orientational isomerism, mechanically planar chirality, and topological chirality, as well as how they support applications in regioselective and stereoselective chemical synthesis, the design of molecular machine prototypes, and the development of advanced materials.

Abstract
Kinetic and thermodynamic studies on cyclodextrin (CD)-based [2]pseudorotaxane formation have been carried out by a combination of NMR and calorimetric techniques using bolaform surfactants as axles. Experimental evidence of the formation of an external complex between the trimethylammonium head groups of the axle and the external hydrogen atoms of α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) is reported. Inclusion of this external complex in the reaction pathway allows us to explain the kinetic behavior as well as the nonlinear dependence of the observed rate constant on CD concentrations. The equilibrium constant for [2]pseudorotaxane formation is strongly affected by the spacer length of the axle. This effect is a consequence of increasing rotaxane stability because the threading rate constant is almost independent of the spacer length, but dethreading strongly decreases on increasing the axle size. Using a nonsymmetrical axle with tripropyl and trimethylammonium cations precludes CD threading by the large head side. CDs will thread this asymmetrical bolaform by both their wide and narrow sides, yielding two isomeric [2]pseudorotaxanes. Threading by the wide side of the CD is 60% more favorable than that by the narrow one, but dethreading rate constants are the same for both isomers.

Abstract
Here we report a facile way of stabilizing large gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by mixed charged zwitterionic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The citrate-capped AuNPs with diameters ranging from 16 nm to even ∼100 nm are well stabilized via a simple place exchange reaction with a 1:1 molar ratio mixture of negatively charged sodium 10-mercaptodecanesulfonic acid (HS-C10-S) and positively charged (10-mercaptodecyl)-trimethyl-ammonium bromide (HS-C10-N4). The 16 nm AuNPs protected by mixed charged zwitterionic SAMs not only show much better stability than the single negatively or positively charged AuNPs, but also exhibit exciting stability as well as those modified by monohydroxy (1-mercaptoundec-11-yl) tetraethylene glycol (HS-C11-EG4). Importantly, 16 nm AuNPs protected by mixed SAMs exhibit good stability in cell culture medium with 10% FBS and strong protein resistance, especially with excellent resistance against plasma adsorption. Moreover, the mixed charged zwitterionic SAMs are also able to well-stabilize larger AuNPs with a diameter of 50 nm, and to help remarkably improve their stability in saline solution compared with HS-C11-EG4 protected ones. When it comes to AuNPs with a diameter of 100 nm, the mixed charged zwitterionic SAM protected nanoparticles retain a smaller hydrodynamic diameter and even better long-term stability than those modified by mercaptopolyethylene glycol (M(w) = 2000, HS-PEG2000). The above results demonstrated that the mixed charged zwitterionic SAMs are able to have a similar effect on stabilizing the large gold nanoparticles just like the single-component zwitterionic SAMs. Concerning its ease of preparation, versatility, and excellent properties, the strategy based on the mixed charged zwitterionic SAM protection might provide a promising method to surface tailoring of nanoparticles for biomedical application.

Abstract
Electrospray-ionization mass spectrometric (ESIMS) studies of several A007 prodrugs in aqueous cyclomaltohexaose (alpha-cyclodextrin, alpha-CD), cyclomaltoheptaose (beta-cyclodextrin, beta-CD), and cyclomaltooctaose (gamma-cyclodextrin, gamma-CD) were performed. The acetic acid derivative of A007 should metabolize in vivo before becoming the A007 prodrug, while on the other hand, the glycine-modified A007 prodrug has surfactant-like physical properties and slowly hydrolyzed in the aqueous cyclodextrins by releasing free A007. ESIMS studies give insight into the process of prodrug hydrolysis in the presence of cyclodextrins and, hence, the influence of cyclodextrins on the timely release of the A007 prodrug. Formation of various molecular aggregates and cyclodextrin inclusion complexes of A007 prodrugs and their hydrolyzed products was demonstrated by ESIMS.

Abstract
New [2]- and [3]pseudorotaxanes containing alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CDs) molecules as rotors and alkyl pyridinium derivatives as axles were prepared by a slipping process. The inclusion behavior of these rotaxanes was investigated by using one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The methyl group at the 2-position of the pyridinium moiety at the end of each axle molecule was found to control the rates of threading of the alpha-CD onto the axle molecules. alpha-CD can approach axle molecules from a particular direction to form inclusion complexes. Axle molecules that contain a 2-methylpyridinium moiety at one end and a bulky stopper at the other end can regulate the direction of approach to give a [2]pseudorotaxane such as 2 b-alpha-CD. A [3]pseudorotaxane in which two alpha-CD molecules are arranged facing in the same direction at two stations of the tetracationic axle molecule was also obtained. These face-selective behaviors are dominated by kinetic processes rather than thermodynamic processes.

Abstract
The kinetics of cyclodextrin (CD) inclusion complexation has been usually analyzed in terms of a one-step reaction or a consecutive two-step reaction involving intracomplex structural transformation as a second step. These schemes presume the inclusion of guest molecules through only one side of the CD cavity and the formation of unidirectional CD complexes. However, there has been increasing experimental evidence for the inclusion of guests through both sides of the CD cavity and the formation of orientational isomers for noncentrosymmetric guest molecules. This article presents a novel parallel reaction scheme for CD inclusion complexation, incorporating bidirectional inclusion and the formation of orientational isomers into the scheme. It is shown that the parallel reaction scheme gives the same concentration versus reaction time relationship as the consecutive two-step reaction scheme. The experimental methods for determining the microscopic directional rate constants are presented. The kinetic parameters of the two-step reaction scheme are expressed as functions of the directional rate constants. The ratios of orientational isomers of alpha-CD-based [2]-pseudorotaxanes and the microscopic directional rate constants of the threading and dethreading reactions are estimated from the reported thermodynamic and kinetics data obtained by using either the one-step or two-step reaction scheme. It is shown that the thermodynamic preference of an isomer over the other is mainly due to the slow dethreading rate of the isomer.

Abstract
A series of cyclodextrin-cinchona alkaloid inclusion complexes were prepared from beta-cyclodextrin, heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin and four cinchona alkaloids in ca. 90% yields, and their inclusion complexation behavior was investigated at pH 7.2 and 1.5 by means of fluorescence, UV/Vis and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The results showed that the cinchona alkaloids can be efficiently encapsulated in the cyclodextrin cavity in an acidic environment and sufficiently released in a neutral environment, which makes these cyclodextrin derivatives the potential carriers for cinchona alkaloids. The binding ability and molecular selectivity of cyclodextrins toward cinchona alkaloids were discussed from the viewpoint of the size-fit concept and multiple recognition mechanism between host and guest.
