A Self-Assembled Porphyrin-Based Dimeric Capsule Constructed by a Pd(II)−Pyridine Interaction Which Shows Efficient Guest Inclusion
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]Novel self-assembled molecular capsules were constructed from two moles of pyridine-containing porphyrin derivatives and four moles of Pd(II) complexes utilizing a pyridine-Pd(ll) interaction. The H-1 NMR spectral studies established that these self assembled molecular capsules 5 and 6 have a highly symmetrical D-4h structure as well as a large inside cavity. It was shown that molecular capsule 6 can include a large bipyridine guest by a two point simultaneous pyridine-Zn(II) interaction.

摘要:
[GRAPHICS]Novel self-assembled molecular capsules were constructed from two moles of pyridine-containing porphyrin derivatives and four moles of Pd(II) complexes utilizing a pyridine-Pd(ll) interaction. The H-1 NMR spectral studies established that these self assembled molecular capsules 5 and 6 have a highly symmetrical D-4h structure as well as a large inside cavity. It was shown that molecular capsule 6 can include a large bipyridine guest by a two point simultaneous pyridine-Zn(II) interaction.
The construction of chirally twisted porphyrin-based molecular capsule 6 and polymeric capsule 8 was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and H-1 NMR, LTV-visible, and CD spectroscopic observations. Molecular capsule 6 and polymeric capsule 8 were constructed by the reaction of chiral cis-Pd(II) complex 4 bearing a (R)-(+)-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (BINAP) ligand with porphyrin 1 bearing four pyridyl groups and porphyrin 2 bearing eight pyridyl groups, respectively. The peak-splitting pattern of the beta-pyrrole protons in the 1H NMR spectrum and the specific CD spectral pattern bearing an exciton coupling band indicate that both molecular capsule 6 and polymeric capsule 8 are chirally twisted. Moreover, it was found that the CD intensity of the polymeric capsule plotted against [4]/([4] + [3]) shows a sigmoidal curvature, reflecting a unique cooperativity among the ligand groups; that is, the ligand existing in excess over the other dominates the twisting direction. These results consistently demonstrate that "chirality" in these molecular assembly systems is conveniently controlled by the use of chiral ligands.
