A light controlled cavitand wall regulates guest binding.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we report a cavitand with a photochemical switch as one of the container walls. The azo-arene switch undergoes photoisomerization when subjected to UV light producing a self-fulfilled cavitand. This process is thermally and photochemically reversible. The reported cavitand binds small molecules and these guests can be ejected from the cavitand through this photochemical process.

متن کاملThe effects of hexafluoroisopropanol on guest binding by water-soluble capsule and cavitand hosts.
Encapsulation of amphiphilic guests in a water-soluble cavitand is enhanced by the addition of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP). While binding of n-alkanes in cavitands in HFIP/D2O mixtures was similar to that observed in 100% D2O, the binding of guests with terminal polar groups was quite different. Several α,ω-bolaamphiphiles: alkyldiols (C10-C12), a dinitrile (C14) and a diacid (C16) became enca...
متن کاملMolecular recognition of upper rim functionalized cavitand and its unique dimeric capsule in the solid state.
Cavitand 1 possesses four 2,2'-bipyridyl pillars on its upper rim that encapsulates small guests, such as nitromethane, acetonitrile, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and N-methylacetamide, into a deep cavity to form host-guest complexes in a 1:1 ratio. Nitroethane, N,N-dimethylformamide, and N,N-dimethylacetamide were not bound in this manner. A guest-binding study and molecular mechanics calcul...
متن کاملCavitand zn(II)-porphyrin capsules with high affinities for pyridines and N-methylimidazole.
Covalent cavitand Zn(II)-porphyrins 17-20 were prepared via multistep syntheses. These host molecules show moderate to excellent binding affinities to N-methylimidazole and pyridine guests. The complexing behavior strongly depends on the spacer's length, number, and rigidity, in addition to the guest size. Cavitand capping and strapping of porphyrins strongly influence the complex formation and...
