Chirality Sensing and Size Discrimination of Anions by Macrotricyclic Cyclen–Disodium Complexes**
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two macrotricyclic ligands composed of two face-to-face octadentate metal chelates were synthesized. These cage-shaped disodium complexes had special recognition ability for various counter anions. Specific chiral dicarboxylates bound to the complexes within the cavity and exhibited chirality induction properties. For instance, N-Boc-Asp dianion strongly induced circular dichroism (CD) signals, but N-Boc-Glu dianion, which is one carbon longer, did not.

The host-guest interaction between orthophosphate, pyrophosphate and triphosphate anions and three cyclen-based macrotricyclic ligands was investigated by potentiometric measurements and NMR spectroscopy. The ligands differ from one another by the nature of their spacers, which are 1,3-dimethylbenzene (TMC), 2,6-dimethylpyridine (TPyC) or a combination of the two (TMPyC). In aqueous solution, e...
متن کاملSelective molecular hosts for anions
The ideas fundamental to the design of cation complexing host molecules can also be applied in the construction of molecular hosts for anions. Following the basic concept the macrotricyclic ammonium hosts la and j& were prepared. They were shown to bind anions by encapsulation into their molecular cavities in aqueous solution. This inclusion process causes guest discrimination according to inte...

Macropolycyclic ligands containing appropriate binding sites and cavities of suitable size and shape, may be designed so as to display molecular recognition in the formation of selective inclusion complexes, cryptates, with metal cations, but also with anions and molecules. Macrobicyclic ligands B form highly stable and selective alkali and alkaline-earth cryptates, displaying a pronounced cryp...
متن کاملVirtual Issue: Molecular Sensors**
A molecular sensor, also known as a chemosensor or probe, is a molecular or supramolecular-based system that is able to transform probe–analyte interactions into a signal which allows analyte sensing. The most common output signals are usually optical or electrochemical changes. In particular, optical responses have become very popular due to the possibility of using low-cost, widely available ...
متن کاملZinc-cyclen coordination to UTP, TTP or pyrophosphate induces pyrene excimer emission.
Pyrene labelled Zn(2+)-cyclen 1 and bis-Zn(2+)-bis-cyclen 2 complexes were synthesized. The reversible coordination at physiological pH of Zn(2+)-cyclens to phosphate anions and to imide moieties, as present in thymine and uracil nucleotides, is well known. In the presence of analytes bearing a phosphate and an imide or two phosphate groups the formation of a ternary complex consisting of two p...
