Nitrite-Templated Synthesis of Lanthanide-Containing [2]Rotaxanes for Anion Sensing**
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first anion-templated synthesis of a lanthanide-containing interlocked molecule is demonstrated by utilizing a nitrite anion to template initial pseudorotaxane formation. Subsequent stoppering of the interpenetrated assembly allows for the preparation of a lanthanide-functionalized [2]rotaxane in high yield. Following removal of the nitrite anion template, the europium [2]rotaxane host is demonstrated to recognize and sense fluoride selectively.

Lanthanide cation-templated synthesis of rotaxanes.
The first lanthanide cation-templated synthesis of an interlocked structure is demonstrated through an interpenetrated assembly between a pyridine N-oxide threading component coordinating to a lanthanide cation complexed within a macrocycle. Stoppering of the pseudo-rotaxane assembly allows for preparation of the [2]rotaxane.
متن کاملNovel template effect for the preparation of [2]rotaxanes with functionalised centre pieces.
A novel anion-templated synthesis permits the preparation of [2]rotaxanes with a tetralactam wheel through which axles are threaded that are functionalised at their center pieces; the wheel protects these groups efficiently against modifications.

متن کاملChloride anion triggered motion in a bis-imidazolium rotaxane.
We report the first bis-imidazolium-containing rotaxane, synthesised via anion templated self-assembly. Its co-conformation is controlled by a chloride anion recognition mechanism, thus demonstrating the viability of this protocol as a stimulus for shuttling molecular motion.
متن کاملNeutral [2]rotaxane host systems that recognise halide anions in aqueous solvent mixtures.
Four pyridine N-oxide axle containing [2]rotaxanes have been synthesised via an anion templated threading-followed-by-stoppering strategy and shown to be the first examples of neutral interlocked host systems capable of recognising halide anions in aqueous solvent mixtures.
