摘要:
Tbe self-assembly of a novel series of hydrogen bonding-mediated homodimers in chloroform-d has been described. Six anthranilamide-based monomers have been prepared, in which two self-binding formamido, trifluoroacetamido, acetamido, butyl or methyl ureido units are introduced at the two ends of the backbones. Quantitative H-1 NMR investigations in chloroform-d revealed that the formamido and ureido units are more efficient than acetamido to induce the formation of stable homodimers. The association constants of all the new homodimers have been determined by H-1 NMR dilution method. Multiply hydrogen bonding-driven binding patterns have been proposed for the homodimers. It is also found that ureido-derived homodimers do not adopt common linear binding pattern observed for simple urea derivatives. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
