6-bis(benzimidazol-2‘-yl)pyridine cores into rodlike ligands L11-17. The crystal structure of the nonmesogenic ligand L13 (C39H37N5O4, triclinic, P1, Z = 2) shows the expected trans−trans conformation of the tridentate binding unit, which provides a linear arrangement of the semirigid aromatic sidearms. The crystal structure of the related mesogenic ligand L16 (C61H81N5O4, triclinic, P1, Z = 2) demonstrates

transitions and phases. The binding of lanthanide- and/or transition metal salts to the ligand containing mesogens results in a transition from a liquidcrystalline to an isotropic state. Acyclic diene metathesis of the monomers yielded either oligomers or polymers, dictated by whether the alkene is either terminal or nonterminal, respectively. Both oligomers and polymers exhibit enantiotropic liquid crystalline
Tridentate aromatic receptors L1–L4 containing the 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine chelating unit are designed to exhibit thermotropic calamitic liquid-crystalline phases; the mesomorphic behaviour is essentially retained in the complex [LuL2(NO3)3].

while facilitating scale up to multi-gram quantities in good yields (63–90%). The previous synthetic methodology was improved through judicious choice of the reducing agent and solvent in the reduction/ring-closing step. Via this platform, we also successfully accessed a mesogenic Bip ligand and herein report initial liquid crystalline properties of this derivative.
Protein arginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) plays a key role in the onset and progression of multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and breast cancer. To date, no PAD2-selective inhibitor has been developed. Such a compound will be critical for elucidating the biological roles of this isozyme and may ultimately be useful for treating specific diseases in which PAD2 activity is dysregulated. To achieve this goal, we synthesized a series of benzimidazole-based derivatives of Cl-amidine, hypothesizing that this scaffold would allow access to a series of PAD2-selective inhibitors with enhanced cellular efficacy. Herein, we demonstrate that substitutions at both the N-terminus and C-terminus of Cl-amidine result in >100-fold increases in PAD2 potency and selectivity (30a, 41a, and 49a) as well as cellular efficacy (30a). Notably, these compounds use the far less reactive fluoroacetamidine warhead. In total, we predict that 30a will be a critical tool for understanding cellular PAD2 function and sets the stage for treating diseases in which PAD2 activity is dysregulated.
