چکیده
A gemini guest having both aromatic units and negative charges induces the self-assembling of a homodimeric capsule when interacting with a positively charged calixarene at pH 7.

Guest-induced capsule formation based on concerted interactions in water at neutral pH.
The interaction of a tetracationic calixarene (TAC4) with dianionic guest (BS) in water was studied with NMR, nano-ITC and ESI-MS experiments; the convergent evidence provided by these different techniques shows that the addition of a suitable guest molecule triggers the formation of a homodimeric capsule in aqueous neutral solution.
متن کاملReversible Disassembly-Assembly of Octa Acid-Guest Capsule in Water Triggered by a Photochromic Process.
Octa acid (OA), a calixarene-based cavitand, forms a 1:2 capsular assembly with neutral 1,3,3-trimethyl-6'-nitrospiro[2H-1]benzopyran-2,2'-indoline and 1:1 cavitandplex with its open zwitterionic merocyanine form. Photochromic interconversion between the spiropyran and merocyanine leads to unprecedented reversible capsular disassembly and assembly. OA provides stability to the merocyanine in bo...
متن کاملInvestigating Molecular Recognition by Mass Spectrometry: Characterization of Calixarene-Based Self-Assembling Capsule Hosts with Charged Guests
Capsules derived from the reversible assembly of calixarene tetraureas have been characterized by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Ion labeling was achieved through the encapsulation of ammonium ions as guest molecules. The gas-phase ion structure of the parent calixarene was determined by isotope pattern analysis, inclusion of labeled guests, and collision experiments. Competition ex...
متن کاملEngineering Nano-aggregates: β-Cyclodextrin Facilitates the Thiol-Gold Nanoparticle Self-Assembly
The structure and morphology of nonmaterial formed by colloidal synthesis represent a subject of interest as it is a factor deciding the physicochemical properties and biological applications of nanostructures. Among various nanoparticles, gold can develop fractal assembled patterns. Herein, we report a nano-aggregate of a thiol-on-gold self-assembled structure and the influence of β-cyclodextr...
متن کاملSynthesis of calixarene–polyglycerol conjugates and their self-assembly toward nano and microtubes
Calixarenes as macrocyclic oligomers with 4–20 phenol units present two dened rims and a hydrophobic core. Since they show extensive host properties for small guest molecules, calixarenes are of high interest in supramolecular science. Due to their many unique properties, calixarenes are interesting candidates for the preparation of supramolecular polymers and nanostructures. Calixarenes are a...
