A ferrocene redox-active triazolium macrocycle that binds and senses chloride
نویسندگان
چکیده
A ferrocene bis(triazole) macrocycle was synthesised in good yield by the Eglinton coupling of an acyclic bis(alkyne) precursor and characterised in the solid state by X-ray crystallography. Alkylation gives the corresponding triazolium macrocycle, which binds chloride and benzoate strongly in CD(3)CN solution through favourable charge-assisted C-H···anion interactions, as evidenced by (1)H NMR titration experiments. Preliminary electrochemical studies reveal that the redox-active macrocycle is capable of sensing chloride in CH(3)CN solution.

Electrochemical aptamer-based sensors attract a lot of interest as useful methods because of their low cost, accuracy, sensitivity, and simplicity. An electro-active redox molecule comprises the main part of the electrochemical-based sensors. Ferrocene is one of the most popular redox molecule used in biosensor fabrication. But, instability of ferrocenium ion in strong nucleophilic reagents...
متن کاملNeutral redox-active hydrogen- and halogen-bonding [2]rotaxanes for the electrochemical sensing of chloride.
The first examples of redox-active ferrocene-functionalised neutral [2]rotaxanes have been synthesised via chloride anion templation. (1)H NMR spectroscopic titrations reveal that these [2]rotaxane host systems recognize chloride selectively over other halides and oxoanions in highly-competitive aqueous media. By replacing the hydrogen bonding prototriazole units of the rotaxane axle component ...
متن کاملA redox-active [3]rotaxane capable of binding and electrochemically sensing chloride and sulfate anions.
A ferrocene functionalised redox-active [3]rotaxane which contains two interlocked anion recognition sites has been prepared by chloride anion templation. With chloride two equivalents of anion are bound, one in each of the interlocked cavities, while sulfate forms a 1:1 stoichimetric sandwich type complex; the rotaxane can also electrochemically sense the two anions in acetonitrile.

Anion templation is used to assemble novel redox-active bis-ferrocene functionalised rotaxane self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on to gold electrode surfaces; after template removal, the unique SAM rotaxane binding domain is capable of selectively sensing chloride ions electrochemically.

A ferrocene appended rotaxane is prepared by chloride anion templation and ring closing metathesis. Upon removal of the chloride template, the rotaxane is demonstrated to be selective for chloride over more basic oxoanions by (1)H NMR spectroscopy and electrochemistry, in marked contrast to an acyclic analogue--the first example of a solution based redox-active interlocked host system capable o...
