Metalloporphyrin molecular sieves

Crystal-engineering strategies have been systematically developed for the rational design by self-assembly of diverse metalloporphyrin molecular-sieve materials. Cooperative coordination and hydrogen bonding algorithms of molecular recognition proved particularly useful for this aim. The supramolecular concepts used in the construction of stable nanoporous solids and some unique sieve-type structures obtained thus far are illustrated.     

Halogen-Bonding Strapped Porphyrin BODIPY Rotaxanes for Dual Optical and Electrochemical Anion Sensing

Anion receptors employing two distinct sensory mechanisms are rare. Herein, we report the first examples of halogen-bonding porphyrin BODIPY [2]rotaxanes capable of both fluorescent and redox electrochemical sensing of anions. ¹H NMR, UV/visible and electrochemical studies revealed rotaxane axle triazole group coordination to the zinc(II) metalloporphyrin-containing macrocycle component, serves to preorganise the rotaxane binding cavity and dramatically enhances anion binding affinities. Mechanically bonded, integrated-axle BODIPY and macrocycle strapped metalloporphyrin motifs enable the anion recognition event to be sensed by the significant quenching of the BODIPY fluorophore and cathodic perturbations of the metalloporphyrin P/P^+. redox couple.     

Metalloporphyrin hosts for supramolecular chemistry of fullerenes

This paper is a tutorial review of the host-guest chemistry of fullerenes and metalloporphyrin. Among various host molecules for fullerenes, cyclic hosts composed of metalloporphyrin moieties possess one of the highest affinities toward fullerenes, which can be widely tuned simply by changing the central metal ions of the porphyrin moieties. Inclusion of fullerenes occurs not only by van der Waals interactions but also, in some cases, via pi-electronic charge-transfer from the host metalloporphyrin moieties to the guest fullerenes. Fullerenes such as C(120), upon inclusion with cyclic metalloporphyrin dimers, show an oscillatory motion within the host cavity, whose frequency reflects the solvation/desolvation dynamics of the fullerenes. A molecularly engineered metalloporphyrin host with a self-assembling capability allows a guest-directed formation of a supramolecular peapod, where included fullerenes, as peas, are aligned along the self-assembled metalloporphyrin nanotube, as a pod. Furthermore, certain metalloporphyrin hosts are applicable to the selective extraction of low-abundance higher fullerenes from an industrial production source and also allow spectroscopic discrimination of chiral fullerenes.     

Using alpha-helical coiled-coils to design nanostructured metalloporphyrin arrays

We have developed a computational design strategy based on the alpha-helical coiled-coil to generate modular peptide motifs capable of assembling into metalloporphyrin arrays of varying lengths. The current study highlights the extension of a two-metalloporphyrin array to a four-metalloporphyrin array through the incorporation of a coiled-coil repeat unit. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that the initial design evolves rapidly to a stable structure with a small rmsd compared to the original model. Biophysical characterization reveals elongated proteins of the desired length, correct cofactor stoichiometry, and cofactor specificity. The successful extension of the two-porphyrin array demonstrates how this methodology serves as a foundation to create linear assemblies of organized electrically and optically responsive cofactors.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Diatomaceous Earth-based Iron Porphyrin Nanocomposite Material and Its Electrocatalytic Activity towards the Reduction of BrO3-

The water-soluble metalloporphyrin is one of the most promising classes of compounds to be used as redox mediators/catalysts. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the heterogeneous catalysis of metalloporphyrin, owing to the catalyst support on inorganic material not only maintain beneficial properties of catalyst, but also improve their catalytic activity and selectivity^[1]. For that purpose, scientists begin to search proper support to immobilization metalloporphyrin catalysts. In general, silica, alumina, zeolite, and clay minerals were utilized as matrixes to immobilize the metalloporphyrin.     

Theoretical study of the interaction between a high-valent manganese porphyrin oxyl-(hydroxo)-Mn(IV)-TMPyP and double-stranded DNA

Cationic porphyrin derivatives such as meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridinium)porphyrin, TMPyP, have been shown to interact with double-stranded DNA. The manganese derivative, Mn(III)-TMPyP, activated by an oxygen donor like potassium monopersulfate, provides an efficient DNA-cleaving system. Previous experimental work1 has shown that DNA cleavage by the Mn(III)-TMPyP/KHSO(5) system was due to an oxidative attack, within the minor groove of B-DNA, at the C5' or C1' carbons of deoxyribose units. The aim of this study was to use molecular modeling to elucidate the specificity of the interactions between the transient active species oxyl-Mn(IV)-TMPyP and the DNA target. Geometric parameters, charges, and force field constants consistent with the AMBER 98 force field were calculated by DFT methods. Molecular modeling (mechanics and dynamic simulations) were performed for oxyl-(hydroxo)-Mn(IV)-TMPyP bound in the minor groove of the dodecamer d(5'-TCGTCAAACCGC)-d(5'-GCGGTTTGACGA). Geometry, interactions, and binding energy of the metalloporphyrin located at the A.T triplet region of the dodecamer were analyzed. These studies show no significant structural change of the DNA structure upon ligand binding. Mobility of the metalloporphyrin in the minor groove was restrained by the formation of a hydrogen bond between the hydroxo ligand trans to the metal-oxyl and a DNA phosphate, restricting the access of the oxyl group to the (pro-S) H atom at C5'.     

1,1'-Binaphthyl-substituted macrocycles as receptors for saccharide recognition

The preparation of receptors for saccharide recognition in a natural environment has been an unmet goal for a long time. We present herein the synthesis and binding properties of (R,S)-1,1'-binaphthyl-substituted macrocycles as receptors for saccharide recognition in water/acetonitrile (1:1) and in DMSO. Porphyrin and metalloporphyrin macrocycles with two to four 1,1'-binaphthyl substituents and multiple hydroxy groups generate a binding site for saccharides that incorporates hydrogen-bonding hydroxy groups together with the aromatic hydrophobic pocket. The specificity for di- and trisaccharides is governed by the cavity size. The mechanism of binding has been studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy and the role of H-bonding and CH-pi interactions has been evaluated; the ability to bind saccharides has been demonstrated by the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique. The application of these macrocyclic receptors to sensor development is also presented.     

Supramolecular architectures of functionalized tetraphenylmetalloporphyrins in crystalline solids. Studies of the 4-methoxyphenyl, 4-hydroxyphenyl and 4-chlorophenyl derivatives

Abstract

A series of new ‘inclusion’ materials based on tetra-4-methoxyphenyl, tetra-4-hydroxyphenyl and tetra-4-chlorophenyl derivatives of the metalloporphyrin system, in combination with a wide variety of guest molecules and ligands, have been prepared, and their structural systematics analysed. Crystallographic investigations have confirmed that the supramolecular arrangement of the hydroxyphenylporphyrin species is dominated by interporphyrin directional hydrogen-bonding interactions, and consists of continuous networks of strongly coordinated entities with varying degrees of cross-linking and rigidity. Guest molecules can be absorbed in these solids in distinctly defined sites of the lattice: in the small interhost cages of fixed size between adjacent intercoordinated porphyrin hosts, or in extended one-dimensional channels formed between the hydrogen bonded host arrays running parallel or perpendicular to the porphyrin plane. For polar ligands with strong nucleophiles, their potential coordination to the metal center provides an additional recognition factor. The stacking mode (offset geometry or overlapping) of the host metalloporphyrin arrays is also affected by the nature of the incorporated guest/ligand. Materials based on the chloro-substituted porphyrins were found to form similarly networked structural modes, influenced by the molecular shape as well as by halogen-halogen noncovalent interactions. Formation of a polar tubular intermolecular architecture capable of aligning organic dipolar guest molecule in the crystal bulk has also been demonstrated. The methoxy-substituted materials form clathrate-type structures characterized by dense layered arrangement of the porphyrin building blocks in two-dimensions. The various structural features directing the observed modes of the supramolecular architecture, and affecting the host structure as well as the guest mobility in it, are discussed.
