Supramolecular polymerization in water harnessing both hydrophobic effects and hydrogen bond formation.

چکیده
The formation of supramolecular polymers in water through rational design of a benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) motif is presented. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic effects cooperate in the self-assembly into long fibrillar aggregates. Minimal changes in molecular structure significantly affect the internal packing of the aggregates.

Statics and dynamics of free and hydrogen-bonded OH groups at the air/water interface.
We use classical atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of two water models (SPC/E and TIP4P/2005) to investigate the orientation and reorientation dynamics of two subpopulations of OH groups belonging to water molecules at the air/water interface at 300 K: those OH groups that donate a hydrogen bond (called "bonded") and those that do not (called "free"). Free interfacial OH groups reorient ...

The formation constants of the species formed in the systems fr + glycine + dioxovanadium(V) + and H+ + glycine have been determined in aqueous solutions of methanol at 25 °C and constant ionicstrength, using spectrophotometric and potentiometric techniques. It was shown thatdioxovanadium(V) forms two mononuclear 1 : land 1:2 complexes with glycine. The formationconstants in various media were ...
متن کاملSupramolecular polymerisation in water; elucidating the role of hydrophobic and hydrogen-bond interactions.
Understanding the self-assembly of small molecules in water is crucial for the development of responsive, biocompatible soft materials. Here, a family of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) derivatives that comprise a BTA moiety connected to an amphiphilic chain is synthesised with the aim to elucidate the role of hydrophobic and hydrogen-bonding interactions in the self-assembly of these BTAs. ...
متن کاملStructural water as an essential comonomer in supramolecular polymerization
Although the concept of structural water that is bound inside hydrophobic pockets and helps to stabilize protein structures is well established, water has rarely found a similar role in supramolecular polymers. Water is often used as a solvent for supramolecular polymerization, however without taking the role of a comonomer for the supramolecular polymer structure. We report a low-molecular wei...
متن کاملCommunication: On the locality of hydrogen bond networks at hydrophobic interfaces.
The formation of structured hydrogen bond networks in the solvation shells immediate to hydrophobic solutes is crucial for a large number of water mediated processes. A long lasting debate in this context regards the mutual influence of the hydrophobic solute into the bulk water and the role of the hydrogen bond network of the bulk in supporting the solvation structure around a hydrophobic mole...
