Host–guest complexes between cryptophane-C and chloromethanes revisited

چکیده
Cryptophane-C is composed of two nonequivalent cyclotribenzylene caps, one of which contains methoxy group substituents on the phenyl rings. The two caps are connected by three OCH(2)CH(2)O linkers in an anti arrangement. Host-guest complexes of cryptophane-C with dichloromethane and chloroform in solution were investigated in detail by nuclear magnetic resonance techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Variable temperature proton and carbon-13 spectra show a variety of dynamic processes, such as guest exchange and host conformational transitions. The guest exchange was studied quantitatively by exchange spectroscopy measurements or by line-shape analysis. The conformational preferences of the guest-containing host were interpreted through cross-relaxation measurements, providing evidence of the gauche+2 and gauche-2 conformations of the linkers. In addition, the mobility of the chloroform guest inside the cavity was studied by carbon-13 relaxation experiments. Combining different types of evidence led to a detailed picture of molecular recognition, interpreted in terms of conformational selection.

Investigation of chloromethane complexes of cryptophane‐A analogue with butoxy groups using 13C NMR in the solid state and solution along with single crystal X‐ray diffraction
Host-guest complexes between cryptophane-A analogue with butoxy groups (cryptophane-But) and chloromethanes (chloroform, dichloromethane) were investigated in the solid state by means of magic-angle spinning (13)C NMR spectroscopy. The separated local fields method with (13)C-(1)H dipolar recoupling was used to determine the residual dipolar coupling for the guest molecules encaged in the host ...

Host-guest complexes between cryptophane-A as host and dichloromethane and chloroform as guests are investigated using (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. Moreover, a related cryptophane, with the methoxy groups replaced by butoxy units (cryptophane-But), and its complexes with the same guests were also studied. Variable temperature spectra showed effects of chemical exchange between the free and ...
متن کاملCrystallographic observation of 'induced fit' in a cryptophane host–guest model system
Cryptophane-A, comprised of two cyclotriguaiacylenes joined by three ethylene linkers, is a prototypal organic host molecule that binds reversibly to neutral small molecules via London forces. Of note are trifunctionalized, water-soluble cryptophane-A derivatives, which exhibit exceptional affinity for xenon in aqueous solution. In this paper, we report high-resolution X-ray structures of crypt...
متن کاملA bis(disulfide)-linked offset cryptophane.
A new bis(disulfide)-linked offset dimer is formed from a dithiolated analogue of cyclotriguaiacylene. Unlike a similar tris(disulfide)-linked example, this is not a true cryptophane as the offset nature of the dimerisation and intramolecular host-guest interactions preclude its use as a host.
