Hydrogen-bonded benzylidenebenzohydrazide macrocycles and oligomers: testing the robust capacity of an amide chain in promoting the formation of vesicles
摘要:
This Letter describes 2-(2-(dioctylamino)-2-oxoethyl-amino)-2-oxoethoxyl (DPAOE)-tuned self-assembly of vesicles from rigid macrocycles and foldamer-like oligomers. The molecules are prepared through the formation of reversible hydrazone bonds from aldehyde and benzo-hydrazide precursors, which are further facilitated by intramolecular N center dot center dot center dot H-O hydrogen bonding. SEM. AFM, and fluorescent encapsulation studies reveal that the molecules all self-assemble into vesicular structures in methanol, while similar molecules bearing the triethylene glycol or n-decyl chains do not. The results illustrate that DOAOE is robust in promoting the formation of vesicles for aromatic Systems in polar solvents. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Vesicles and Organogels from Foldamers: A Solvent-Modulated Self-Assembling Process
摘要:
Nonamphiphilic, hydrogen-bonded hydrazide foldamers appended with four or six long flexible chains were revealed to spontaneously assemble to form vesicles in methanol and organogels in aliphatic hydrocarbons. SEM, AFM, TEM, DLS, and fluorescence microscopy were all used to identify the structures of the vesicles. It was proposed that intermolecular pi stacking of the folded frameworks and hydrogen bonding of the amide units in the appended chains induced the molecules to produce cylindrical aggregates. In polar methanol, these aggregates packed together to generate one-layered vesicles owing to hydrophobically induced entanglement of the peripheral chains, while in nonpolar hydrocarbons, the peripheral chains entwined across stacked cylinders to form three-dimensional networks and thus immobilize the liquid molecules.

(DOAOE)‐tuned self‐assembly of vesicles from a 2,6‐di(7‐benzamidy)‐quinolin‐2‐yl)pyridine derivative. Scanning electron (SEM), transmission electron (TEM) and optical microscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies reveal that the molecule self‐assembles into vesicular structures in methanol. The influence of the transition metal ions and trifluoroacetic acid on the formation of the vesicles was investigated

This paper describes the self-assembling property of three series of p-phenyleneethynylene based comb-like oligomers, which carry multiple peripheral side chains of different polarity. The new oligomers are prepared readily through the formation of the hydrazone bonds from the corresponding aldehyde and gallic acid-derived benzohydrazides. In polar solvents such as methanol and ethanol, the oligomers that bear n-decyl or 2-(2-(dioctylamino)-2-oxoethyl-amino)-2-oxoethoxyl unit (DOAOE) segments as the side chains are revealed to form vesicular structures, while the oligomers carrying hydrophilic oligo(ethyleneglycol) side chains do not. The structures of the vesicles are evidenced by SEM, AFM, TEM, and dye-encapsulation experiments. UV-vis absorption spectroscopic experiments suggest that the vesicles are generated through the stacking of the conjugated backbones, which is promoted by the solvophobic interaction of the peripheral side chains.
