Ditopic binding of cyclodextrin-included ligands in trigonal silver(I) complexes
摘要:
The X-ray crystal structures of trigonal silver(1) cyclodextrin complexes of introverted bidentate sulfur (1) and phosphorus (2) ligands give a clear indication on how a cyclodextrin-included ligand may bind in a ditopic fashion both the encapsulated metal ion and the cyclodextrin inner wall. In the solid state, the silver-coordinated water molecule of complex [Ag(H2O)(1)]BF4 induces a major distortion of the macrocyclic structure, along with dramatic conformational changes in the two opposite glucose units with which it is hydrogen bonded. In complex [AgBr(2)], the included bulky bromide anion, which lacks hydrogen bonding capability, does not affect the overall circular shape of the cyclodextrin receptor. A H-1-F-19 HOESY experiment conducted on the silver(I) complex of 1 in CDCl3 showed that in this solvent, the water molecule is displaced by the BF4 counterion at the metal coordination site, the cavity being here no longer distorted.

Ansa-cyclodextrins were obtained in high yields by reaction of sodium sulfide with A,B-di- or A,B,D,E-tetramesylated α-CD precursors; the resulting thiocavitands are suitable for forming nanotubular molecules, as well as for hosting metal-organic fragments.
