Self-assembled nanotubes that reversibly bind acetic acid guests.

A large bis-urea macrocycle was synthesized and assembled into columnar nanotubes containing a sizable cavity. This purely organic nanotube is held together primarily by hydrogen bonding and yet shows remarkable thermal stability up to 180 degrees C in the presence and absence of acetic acid guest. This enables the nanotube to be used as reusable organic zeolite.

Self-assembled phenylethynylene bis-urea macrocycles facilitate the selective photodimerization of coumarin.

There is much interest in designing molecular sized containers that influence and facilitate chemical reactions within their nanocavities. On top of the advantages of improved yield and selectivity, the studies of reactions in confinement also give important clues that extend our basic understanding of chemical processes. We report here, the synthesis and self-assembly of an expanded bis-urea m...

Examination of the structural features that favor the columnar self-assembly of bis-urea macrocycles.

Second-generation self-assembling bis-urea macrocycles were designed that form columnar structures in the solid state. The new macrocycles were constructed from more flexible building blocks yielding greater solubility and a more efficient synthesis. In addition, heteroatoms in the form of ether oxygens were incorporated in the walls of the macrocycles to provide additional recognition sites fo...

A shape-persistent alleno-acetylenic macrocycle with a modifiable periphery: synthesis, chiroptical properties and H-bond-driven self-assembly into a homochiral columnar structure.

A shape-persistent alleno-acetylenic macrocycle, peripherally decorated with eight phenolic rings, has been synthesized in enantiomerically pure form. Its electronic circular dichroism spectrum features a strong chiroptical response. In the solid state, the macrocycle stacks in pillars to form channels and the stacks undergo further self-assembly into a three-dimensional porous architecture thr...

Supramolecular Liquid Crystals. Self-Assembly of a Trimeric Supramolecular Disk and Its Self-Organization into a Columnar Discotic Mesophase

6,7-Bis(alkyloxy)-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-diones self-assemble into lactim-lactam trimeric disks in solution as demonstrated by SEC and NMR. With suitable substituents, as in Phthal8, Phthal12, and Phthal16, these disks self-organize into a thermotropic, columnar, discotic phase. The disubstituted phthalhydrazide unit thus represents a general motif for the recognition-induced generation of ...
