Supramolecular chemistry: from aromatic foldamers to solution-phase supramolecular organic frameworks
نویسنده
چکیده
This mini-review covers the growth, education, career, and research activities of the author. In particular, the developments of various folded, helical and extended secondary structures from aromatic backbones driven by different noncovalent forces (including hydrogen bonding, donor-acceptor, solvophobicity, and dimerization of conjugated radical cations) and solution-phase supramolecular organic frameworks driven by hydrophobically initiated aromatic stacking in the cavity of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) are highlighted.

Three-dimensional periodic supramolecular organic framework ion sponge in water and microcrystals
Self-assembly has emerged as a powerful approach to generating complex supramolecular architectures. Despite there being many crystalline frameworks reported in the solid state, the construction of highly soluble periodic supramolecular networks in a three-dimensional space is still a challenge. Here we demonstrate that the encapsulation motif, which involves the dimerization of two aromatic un...

This article provides an overview on preparation, design, crystal structure and properties of some metal-organic frameworks of carboxylate coordination polymers mixed with pyridine-functionality linkers prepared in our laboratory. The article covers coordination polymers in two- and three-dimensional supramolecular architectures. The reported coordination polyme...
متن کاملSupramolecular reactor in an aqueous environment: aromatic cross Suzuki coupling reaction at room temperature.
[reaction: see text] We have investigated supramolecular reactors for the Suzuki coupling reactions of aryl halides with phenyl boronic acids by using self-assembly of amphiphilic rod-coil molecules in aqueous solution at room temperature. All the rod-coil molecules synthesized in this work showed to self-assemble into discrete micelles consisting of aromatic rod bundles encapsulated by hydroph...
متن کاملMolecular recognition of N-protected dipeptides by pseudopeptidic macrocycles: a comparative study of the supramolecular complexes by ESI-MS and NMR.
The molecular recognition properties of pseudopeptidic macrocycles have been studied by ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopy, as highly complementary experimental techniques in solution and in the gas phase. We used ESI-MS competition experiments for the high throughput screening of the supramolecular interaction between four macrocyclic receptors and different peptide-like substrates in solution, rende...
متن کاملEngineering supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs) of C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arene with bipyridine-based spacers.
Supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs) based on pyrogallol[4]arene and 4,4'-bipyridine-type spacer molecules have been investigated. The hydrogen bonding pattern and molecular arrangement in the crystal structures are engineered through the cocrystallization approach. The length of the spacer molecules and the C-alkyl tail length of the PgC macrocycle are tuned to influence the hydrogen bondi...
