Donor–acceptor interaction-mediated arrangement of hydrogen bonded dimers
摘要:
The donor-acceptor interaction-driven supramolecular arrangement of a new series of quadruply hydrogen-bonded homo- and heterodimers have been investigated in chloroform with H-1 NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Two kinds of structurally complementary monomers have been prepared. Monomers 3 and 4 are incorporated with one ureidopyrimidone unit and one electron deficient pyromellitic diimide (PDI) or naphthalene diimide (NDI) unit, respectively, monomers 5 and 6 are incorporated with two ureidopyrimidone units and one PDI or NDI unit, respectively, whereas monomers 7 and 8 consist of one electron rich bis-p-phenylene[34]crown-10 unit and one or two 2,7-diamido-1,6-naphthyridine units, respectively. Compounds 3 and 4 exist exclusively as homodimers, respectively. Adding 1 equiv. of 7 to the solution of 3.3 and 4.4 induced them to partially or fully dissociate to produce heterodimers 3.7 and 4.7 due to intermolecular donor-acceptor interaction and the formation of a new binding mode between the ureidopyrimidone of 3 or 4 and the 2,7-diamido-1,6-naphthyridine unit of 7. Both 5 and 6 exist as cyclic monomer and dimer in chloroform. Adding 1 equiv. of 8 to the solution of 5 or 6 in chloroform caused all the cyclic dimer and most of the cyclic monomer to de-cyclize to form new heterodimers 5.8 and 6.8, respectively. H-1 NMR and UV-vis study revealed that heterodimer 5.8 has a structure in which the PDI of 5 is not threaded through the cavity of the bis-p-phenylene [34] crown-10 unit of 8. In contrast, in addition to the heterodimer similar to 5.8, about 40% of heterodimer 6.8 is generated, in which the PDI of 6 is threaded through the cavity of the bis-p-phenylene[3]crown-10 unit of 8 due to the increased donor-acceptor interaction between NDI and bis-p-phenylene [34] crown-10. Steric hindrance and mismatching of the hydrogen bonding moiety play important roles in the arrangement of the new homo- and heterodimers. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Highly stable pseudo[2]rotaxanes co-driven by crown ether–ammonium and donor–acceptor interactions
摘要:
Bis-p-phenylene-34-crown-10 derivatives 1 and 2, bearing one and two dibenzo [24] crown-8 units, respectively, and 4,4'-dipyridinium derivatives of 3.3PF(6) and of 4.4PF(6), bearing one and two ammonium groups, respectively, have been synthesized from readily available starting materials. H-1 NMR and UV-vis studies reveal that in polar acetonitrile 1 binds 3.3PF6 to produce pseudo [2]rotaxane 1.3.3PF(6) by making use of one donor-acceptor and one electrostatic interaction, whereas 2 binds 4-4PF(6) to form pseudo [2] rotaxane 2.4.4PF(6) through one donor-acceptor and two electrostatic interactions. The association constants of the two pseudorotaxanes have been determined by the UV-vis titration method to be 9.1 (+/-1.0) x 10(3) M-1 and 6.5 (+/-0.7) x 10(5) M-1, respectively. The high stability of the new pseudo [2]rotaxanes has been ascribed to the cooperative interaction of the two different non-covalent forces. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
