Aromatic Gain in a Supramolecular Polymer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synergy of aromatic gain and hydrogen bonding in a supramolecular polymer is explored. Partially aromatic bis(squaramide) bolaamphiphiles were designed to self-assemble through a combination of hydrophobic, hydrogen-bonding, and aromatic effects into stiff, high-aspect-ratio fibers. UV and IR spectroscopy show electron delocalization and geometric changes within the squaramide ring indicative of strong hydrogen bonding and aromatic gain of the monomer units. The aromatic contribution to the interaction energy was further supported computationally by nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) and harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity (HOMA) indices, demonstrating greater aromatic character upon polymerization: at least 30% in a pentamer. The aromatic gain-hydrogen bonding synergy results in a significant increase in thermodynamic stability and a striking difference in aggregate morphology of the bis(squaramide) bolamphiphile compared to isosteres that cannot engage in this effect.

Molecular recognition and self-assembly special feature: Supramolecular polymer formed by reversible self-assembly of tetrakisporphyrin.
S-shaped tetrakisporphyrin 2 forms supramolecular polymeric assemblies via a complementary affinity of its bisporphyrin units in solution. The self-association constant determined by applying the isodesmic model is >10(6) L mol(-1), which suggests that a sizable polymer forms at millimolar concentrations at room temperature. The electron deficient aromatic guest (TNF) binds within the molecular...
