A Switchable Gold Catalyst by Encapsulation in a Self‐Assembled Cage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dinuclear gold complexes have the ability to interact with one or more substrates in a dual-activation mode, leading to different reactivity and selectivity than their mononuclear relatives. In this contribution, this difference was used to control the catalytic properties of a gold-based catalytic system by site-isolation of mononuclear gold complexes by selective encapsulation. The typical dual-activation mode is prohibited by this catalyst encapsulation, leading to typical behavior as a result of mononuclear activation. This strategy can be used as a switch (on/off) for a catalytic reaction and also permits reversible control over the product distribution during the course of a reaction.

A hollow iridium-cornered prismatic cage was self-assembled without the assistance of any template. The cage was found to be capable of encapsulating heteroguest's triplet in its perfect sized cavity, producing the first demonstration of quintuple structure by an octahedral metal cornered prismatic cage.

Cavity-directed chemical transformations represent one of the most important features in 3-D host chemistry, yet they are unexplored as synthetic receptors. We are developing such functions with the large cavity of self-assembled cages, particularly an M6L4-type cage. The photodimerization of olefins within this cage shows remarkable rate enhancement, perfect regioand stereoselection, and high ...
