Two heteroditopic receptors based on a calix[4]arene crown ether containing amidoanthraquinone pendants in cone and 1,3-alternate conformations (1 and 2, respectively) were synthesized. Photophysical properties of 1 and 2 were studied by UV-vis and fluorescence spectrophotometry in dried CH3CN. Both 1 and 2 showed the highest sensitivity towards F− through the appearance of a new charge transfer band at 500 nm and the enhancement of the emission spectra at λem = 542 nm and 528 nm respectively. Interestingly, in the presence of K+, the fluorescence intensity of 1 at 542 nm increased around 2 fold compared to that in the absence of K+ upon addition of F−, while this phenomenon was not observed in the case of receptor 2. Cyclic voltammograms of receptors 1 and 2 showed two consecutive one-electron reversible waves in 40% v/v CH3CN in CH2Cl2, corresponding to two single-electron reductions to give mono- and dianions species at E1/2I = −1.21 V and E1/2II = −1.66 V as well as E1/2I = −1.25 V and E1/2II = −1.71 V, respectively. H2PO4− gave remarkable potential shifts (ca. 200 mV) of the second reduction waves (E1/2II) of both free 1 and 2. In the presence of K+, only receptor 1 gave remarkable potential shifts in its redox wave II upon adding F− and AcO−. Therefore, receptors 1 and 2 exhibited dual sensing modes by fluorescence spectrophotometry and cyclic voltammetry. The topology of ligands also played an important role in cooperative binding properties of heteroditopic receptor 1 possessing a closer distance between a cation and an anion binding. On the other hand, the two ion binding sites of receptor 2 were separated by a longer distance and did not support the cooperative binding. This resulted in the abstraction of K+ from receptor 2 upon addition of anions.

蒽醌垂饰(分别为 1 和 2)。在干燥的 CH3CN 中,通过紫外-可见分光光度法和荧光分光光度法研究了 1 和 2 的光物理特性。通过在 500 纳米波长处出现新的电荷转移带,以及分别在 λem = 542 纳米波长和 528 纳米波长处增强发射光谱,1 和 2 对 F- 显示出最高的灵敏度。有趣的是,在 K+ 存在的情况下,加入 F- 后,1 在 542 nm 处的荧光强度比 K+ 不存在时增加了约 2 倍,而受体 2 则没有观察到这种现象。受体 1 和 2 的循环伏安图在 40% v/v CH3CN in
CH2Cl2 中显示出两个连续的单电子可逆波,分别对应于两个单电子还原,在 E1/2I = -1.21 V 和 E1/2II = -1.66 V 以及 E1/2I = -1.25 V 和 E1/2II = -1.71 V 时产生单离子和双离子。H2PO4- 使游离 1 和游离 2 的第二还原波(E1/2II)发生显著的电位偏移(约 200 mV)。在 K+ 存在的情况下,只有受体 1 在加入 F- 和 AcO- 后其氧化还原波 II 发生了显著的电位移动。因此,通过荧光分光光度法和循环伏安法,受体 1 和 2 表现出双重感应模式。
配体的拓扑结构对异位受体 1 的协同结合特性也起着重要作用,它具有阳离子和阴离子之间更近的结合距离。另一方面,受体 2 的两个离子结合位点之间的距离较长,不支持协同结合。这导致受体 2 在加入阴离子时会抽取 K+。
