Amide-based Fluorescent Macrocyclic Anion Receptors

Introduction Interest in the selective recognition and sensing of anionic species continues to attract the attention of su-pramolecular chemistry community.1 The importance of anions in chemical and biological process can not be underestimated. It is well known that in nature neutral proteins bind anions only via hydrogen bonding interac-tions.2 Several anion receptors have been constructed from five-membered heterocycle,3 amide,4 (thio) urea,5 since these groups form relatively strong NHanio…     

7,7′‐Diamino‐2,2′‐diindolylmethane: A Building Block for Highly Efficient and Selective Anion Receptors—Studies in Solution and in the Solid State

The easy‐to‐make 7,7′‐diamino‐2,2′‐diindolylmethane was used as a building block for the construction of anion receptors operating by hydrogen bonds. Its various bisamide and bisurea derivatives were designed and synthesised as acyclic as well as macrocyclic molecules, then their structural and anion binding properties were studied in solution and in the solid state. The bisamide receptors demonstrate high affinity towards oxoanions in highly polar and partially aqueous solutions (DMSO with up to 25 % H₂O) with significant selectivity for dihydrogen phosphate. Remarkably, the bisurea‐based molecules are able to bind anionic guests even in pure methanol and show selectivity toward tetrahedral oxoanions, that is, hydrogen sulphate and dihydrogen phosphate. X‐ray analysis revealed that both classes of molecules adopt a similar conformation in the solid state: a bent sheet shape with a binding pocket equipped with hydrogen‐bond donors (four for the amides and six for the bisureas), whose orientation is particularly tailored for oxoanions. The results of ROESY NMR experiments are in agreement with the findings for the solid state and confirmed that both bisamides and bisureas can easily adapt the conformation with convergent hydrogen‐bond donors, which is highly suitable for anion binding.     

Synthesis of Indeno[2′,1′:5,6]pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine Derivatives and Their Recognition Properties as New Type Anion Receptors

A new type anion receptors containing indeno[2′,1′:5,6]pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine have been synthesized via three‐component reaction of aldehyde, 6‐aminopyrimidine‐2,4‐dione, and 1,3‐indanedione in aqueous media. The binding properties of the receptors with anions such as F^?, Cl^?, Br^?, AcO^?, HSO₄^?, and H₂PO₄^? have been investigated by UV–vis spectroscopy methods. The results have shown that receptors have good selectivity to F^? and AcO^?, and a 1:1 stoichiometry complex has been formed between compounds and anions.     

Dual Role of the 1,2,3‐Triazolium Ring as a Hydrogen‐Bond Donor and Anion–π Receptor in Anion‐Recognition Processes

Several bis(triazolium)‐based receptors have been synthesized as chemosensors for anion recognition. The central naphthalene core features two aryltriazolium side‐arms. NMR experiments revealed differences between the binding modes of the two triazolium rings: one triazolium ring acts as a hydrogen‐bond donor, the other as an anion–π receptor. Receptors 9²⁺?2BF₄ ^? (C₆H₅), 11²⁺?2BF₄ ^? (4‐NO₂?C₆H₄), and 13²⁺?2BF^4? (ferrocenyl) bind HP₂O₇^3? anions in a mixed‐binding mode that features a combination of hydrogen‐bonding and anion–π interactions and results in strong binding. On the other hand, receptor 10²⁺?2 BF₄ ^? (4‐CH₃O?C₆H₄) only displays combined Csp₂?H/anion–π interactions between the two arms of the receptors and the bound anion rather than triazolium (CH)⁺???anion hydrogen bonding. All receptors undergo a downfield shift of the triazolium protons, as well as the inner naphthalene protons, in the presence of H₂PO₄^? anions. That suggests that only hydrogen‐bonding interactions exist between the binding site and the bound anion, and involve a combination of cationic (triazolium) and neutral (naphthalene) C?H donor interactions. Theoretical calculations relate the electronic structure of the substituent on the aromatic group with the interaction energies and provide a minimum‐energy conformation for all the complexes that explains their measured properties.     

Anion Receptors Containing ‐NH Binding Sites: Hydrogen‐Bond Formation or Neat Proton Transfer?

When the amide‐containing receptor 1 ⁺ is in a solution of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the presence of basic anions (CH₃COO^?, F^?, H₂PO₄^?), it undergoes deprotonation of the ‐NH fragment to give the corresponding zwitterion, which can be isolated as a crystalline solid. In the presence of less basic anions (Cl^?, Br^?, NO₃^?), 1 ⁺ establishes true hydrogen‐bond interactions of decreasing intensity. The less acidic receptor 2 ⁺ undergoes neat proton transfer with only the more basic anions CH₃COO^? and F^?, and establishes hydrogen‐bond interactions with H₂PO₄^?. An empirical criterion for discerning neutralisation and hydrogen bonding, based on UV/Vis and ¹H NMR spectra, is proposed.     

Host–Guest Chemistry: Oxoanion Recognition Based on Combined Charge‐Assisted C−H or Halogen‐Bonding Interactions and Anion⋅⋅⋅Anion Interactions Mediated by Hydrogen Bonds

Several bis‐triazolium‐based receptors have been synthesized and their anion‐recognition capabilities have been studied. The central chiral 1,1′‐bi‐2‐naphthol (BINOL) core features either two aryl or ferrocenyl end‐capped side arms with central halogen‐ or hydrogen‐bonding triazolium receptors. NMR spectroscopic data indicate the simultaneous occurrence of several charge‐assisted aliphatic and heteroaromatic C?H noncovalent interactions and combinations of C?H hydrogen and halogen bonding. The receptors are able to selectively interact with HP₂O₇^3?, H₂PO₄^?, and SO₄^2? anions, and the value of the association constant follows the sequence: HP₂O₇^3?>SO₄^2?>H₂PO₄^?. The ferrocenyl end‐capped 7²⁺?2 BF₄ ^? receptor allows recognition and differentiation of H₂PO₄^? and HP₂O₇^3? anions by using different channels: H₂PO₄^? is selectively detected through absorption and emission methods and HP₂O₇^3? by using electrochemical techniques. Significant structural results are the observation of an anion???anion interaction in the solid state (2:2 complex, 6²⁺? [ H₂P₂O₇ ] ^2? ), and a short C?I???O contact is observed in the structure of the complex [ 8 ²⁺][SO₄]_0.5[BF₄].

Acenaphthenequinone based simple colorimetric anion sensor with only one binding site

Quinonehydrazone compound 1 was designed to be a simple chromogenic anion sensor with one anion binding site. The sensor 1 was easily obtained in 83% yield by the condensation of acenaphthenequinone with 4-nitrophenylhydrazine in ethanol solution. In DMSO, sensor 1 could high selectively and visually detect anions with strong basicity (e.g., AcO^?, F^? and H₂PO₄ ^?) from chloride, bromide, and iodide ions with weak basicity.     

Novel N,N＇-Diacylhydrazine-Based Colorimetric Receptors for Selective Sensing of Fluoride and Acetate Anions

Three novel and simple N,N＇-diacylhydrazine-based colorimetric receptors have been prepared. The binding properties of the receptors to anions such as F^-, Cl^-, Br^-, AcO^-, HSO4^- and HEPO4^- in acetonitrile solution were examined by UV-Vis spectroscopy methods, which show high sensitivity and selectivity to F^- and AcO^- over other anions. The results indicated that a 1 ： 1 stoichiometry complex was formed between the receptors and the anions, while ^1H NMR titrations confirmed hydrogen binding interaction between the receptors and the anions.     

Synthesis,Bioactivity, and the Anion‐Binding Property of 2‐Sulfydryl‐1,3,4‐thiodiazole Derivatives

Two new compounds ( 1 and 2 ) containing 2‐sulfydryl‐1,3,4‐thiodiazole have been synthesized and optimized. They both showed wide antibacterial activity for colon bacillus, Staphylococcus aureus, S. albus, dysentery bacillus and inferior activity for Bacillus subtilis. In addition, their binding properties were evaluated for biologically important anions (F^–, Cl^–, Br^–, I^–, AcO^–, and H₂PO₄^–) by theoretical investigation, UV–vis, fluorescence, and ¹H NMR titration experiments, and they displayed strong binding ability for H₂PO₄^– without the interference of other anions tested. Especially the binding ability of compound 2 containing anthracene with H₂PO₄^– was 1000 times stronger than that of compound 1 containing nitrobenzene. Two compounds based on 2‐sulfydryl‐1,3,4‐thiodiazole have both properties of anion recognition and antibacterial activity.     

Anion Recognition by Aliphatic Helical Oligoureas

Anion binding properties of neutral helical foldamers consisting of urea type units in their backbone have been investigated. ¹H NMR titration studies in various organic solvents including DMSO suggest that the interaction between aliphatic oligoureas and anions (CH₃COO^?, H₂PO₄^?, Cl^?) is site‐specific, as it largely involves the urea NHs located at the terminal end of the helix (positive pole of the helix), which do not participate to the helical intramolecular hydrogen‐bonding network. This mode of binding parallels that found in proteins in which anion‐binding sites are frequently found at the N‐terminus of an α‐helix. ¹H NMR studies suggest that the helix of oligoureas remains largely folded upon anion binding, even in the presence of a large excess of the anion. This study points to potentially useful applications of oligourea helices for the selective recognition of small guest molecules.     

新型三脚架苯甲醛苯腙醋酸根选择性比色化学传感器

本文合成了一个新的基于三脚架苯甲醛苯腙的能够选择地检测醋酸根离子的比色化学传感器1。用紫外可见吸收光谱证实了受体1在二甲基亚砜溶液中对醋酸根离子高选择的键合能力超越了其它阴离子。和其他所研究的阴离子相比,其在二甲基亚砜中紫外可见吸收光谱对具有高选择性醋酸根离子的存在显示了应答,当存在（2´10^-5mol·dm^-3）醋酸根离子时其溶液的颜色也由黄色变化到蓝色。当用其他不同的客体阴离子（F^-, Cl^-, Br^-, I^-, H₂PO₄ ^–和 OH^-）处理受体1时,仅出现了很小的紫外可见吸收光谱变化。受体1对醋酸根的结合常数 K_ass为1.69´ 10⁴。     

Structures of urea/thiourea 1,3-disubstituted thia[4]calixarenes and corresponding monofunctional receptors and their anion recognition properties

Two thiacalix[4]arenes in 1,3-alternate conformation functionalized by two (CH₂)₂NH(C=X)NHC₆H₄-NO₂-p groups (X = S,O) as well as two related monofunctional receptors MeO(CH₂)₂NH(C=X)NHC₆H₄-NO₂-p were prepared and characterized by X-ray crystal structures. The thioureido and ureido derivatives have E,Z and E,E conformations respectively both in monofunctional receptors and thiacalixarenes. The thiacalixarene attached thiourea groups are well separated from each other, but respective urea groups are much closer to each other and have mutual parallel orientation making the bisurea derivative a better preorganized receptor as compared to bisthiourea. Binding of Cl^?, F^?, H₂PO₄ ^? and AcO^? anions in chloroform and DMSO was studied by spectrophotometric and NMR titrations. In chloroform both bisurea and bisthiourea thiacalix[4]arenes bind anions 3–5 times stronger than corresponding monofunctional compounds in spite of better preorganization of the urea derivative. In DMSO simultaneous deprotonation of ureido NH groups of receptors and hydrogen bonding reactions are observed. Deprotonation by H₂PO₄ ^? is accompanied by a strong association between liberated H₃PO₄ and H₂PO₄ ^? (log K = 3.9). For hydrogen bonding associations the binding constants of H₂PO₄ ^? and AcO^? with bisurea thiacalixarene are up to two orders of magnitude larger than those with corresponding monofunctional receptor, but with bisthiourea thiacalixarene the effect is less than two-fold. Thus in this solvent in contrast to chloroform the preorganization is an important factor.     

Synthesis and anion binding properties of 1,8-disulfonamidocarbazole dipyrromethane Schiff-base macrocycle & its amine analogue

A novel 1,8-disulfonamidocarbazole-dipyrromethane Schiff-base macrocycle (1) and its amine analogue (2) were designed and synthesised, and their anion binding properties were studied via UV–vis and ¹H NMR titration spectra. The obtained results showed that a small change in the macrocyclic structure (by reducing imines into the corresponding amines) produced a remarkable impact on its binding affinity and selectivity for anions. For example, macrocycle 1 displayed a 7.9:1 F^?/H₂PO₄^? selectivity; however, its amine analogue 2 showed a 78.5:1 F^?/H₂PO₄^? selectivity.     

Anion exchange in trimethyl‐ and triphenyltin complexes with chromogenic ligands: solution equilibria and colorimetric anion sensing

A series of organotin(IV) compounds R₃Sn(A) where R = Me or Ph and A is a chromogenic nitrophenolate ligand were prepared and studied as possible colorimetric sensors for anions (F⁻, Cl⁻, Br⁻, AcO⁻, H₂PO₄⁻). Equilibrium constants for a complete set of reactions between R₃Sn(A) with A = 2‐amino‐4‐nitrophenolate (ANP) or 4‐nitrophenolate and anions (X⁻) involving formation of complexes R₃Sn(A)(X)⁻ and substitution products R₃Sn(X) and R₃Sn(X)₂⁻ were determined by UV‐vis and ¹H NMR titrations in MeCN and DMSO. The binding selectivity was AcO⁻ > F⁻ > H₂PO₄⁻ > Cl⁻ ≫ Br⁻ in both solvents and both for R = Me and Ph with higher affinity for R = Ph. Compounds with A = ANP were found to have the optimum properties as anion sensors allowing optical detection of F⁻, AcO⁻ and H₂PO₄⁻ anions in the 5–100 µM range by appearance of an intense absorption band of free ANP resulting from its substitution with the analyte. Selectivity and affinity of anion interactions with R₃Sn(ANP) are similar to those for thiourea receptors, but the organotin receptor produces a much larger naked eye detected optical signal, operates equally well in nonpolar and polar solvents and tolerates the presence of up to 20% vol. of water in DMSO.

Study on Synthesis and Binding Ability of a New Anion Receptor Containing NH Binding Sites

A new colorimetric recognition receptor 1 based on the dual capability containing NH binding sites of selectively sensing anionic guest species has been synthesized. Compared with other halide anions, its UV/Vis absorption spectrum in dimethyl sulfoxide showed the response toward the presence of fluoride anion with high selectivity, and also displayed dramatic color changes from colorless to yellow in the presence of TBAF （5 × 10^-5 mol/L）. The similar UV/Vis absorption spectrum change also occurred when 1 was treated with AcO^- while a little change with H2PO^-4 and OH^-. Receptor 1 has almost not affinity abilities to Cl^-, Br^- and I^-. The binding ability of receptor 1 to fluoride with high selectivity over other halides contributes to the anion size and the ability of forming hydrogen bonding. While the different ability of binding with geometrically triangular （AcO^-）, tetrahedral （H2PO^-4 ） and linear （OH^-） anions maybe result from their geometry configuration.     

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of calix[4]arene derivatives containing ferrocene units in the cone and 1,3-alternate conformation

Two novel calix[4]arene receptors containing ferrocene units in cone (L₁) and 1,3-alternate (L₂) conformations have been synthesized from 25,27-dihydroxy-26,28-bis[(3-aminopropyl)oxy]calix[4]arene 4 or 25,26,27,28-tetra[(3-aminopropyl)oxy]calix[4]arene 6 and ferrocenecarboxaldehyde via condensation, respectively. Their structures have been characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, APT, COSY NMR, FTIR, HSMR, and UV–vis spectral data. The electrochemical behavior of L₁ and L₂ has been investigated in the presence of F^?, Cl^?, Br^?, H₂PO₄^?, CH₃COO^? anions. Electrochemical studies show that these receptors electrochemically recognize CH₃COO^?, H₂PO₄^?, and Cl^?, anions. Using an UV–vis study, the selectivity to these anions in DMSO solution was confirmed.     

A simple and efficient anionic chromogenic chemosensor based on 2,4-dinitrodiphenylamine in dimethyl sulfoxide and in dimethyl sulfoxide–water mixtures

Solutions of 2,4-dinitrodiphenylamine (1) in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) are colorless but upon deprotonation they become red. Addition of various anionic species (HSO₄^?, H₂PO₄^?, NO₃^?, CN^?, CH₃COO^?, F^?, Cl^?, Br^?, and I^?) to solutions of 1 revealed that only CN^?, F^?, CH₃COO^?, and H₂PO₄^? led to the appearance of the red color in solution. The presence of increasing amounts of water in solutions containing 1 made it progressively selective toward CN^? and the system with the addition of 4.3% (v/v) of water was highly selective for CN^? among all anions studied. The experimental data collected indicated that proton transfer from 1 to the anion occurs, and a model was used to explain the experimental results, which considers two 1:anion stoichiometries, 1:1 and 1:2. For the latter, the data suggest that the anion forms firstly a hydrogen-bonded complex with a second anion equivalent necessary for the abstraction of the proton, with the formation of a [HA₂]^? complex. The study performed here demonstrates the important role of the environment of the anion and 1 for the efficiency of the chromogenic chemosensor. Besides the different affinities of each anion for water, the solvation of both the anion and 1 is responsible for reducing the interaction between these species. In small amounts, water or hydrogen-bonded DMSO–water complexes are able to stabilize the conjugated base of 1 through hydrogen bonding, making 1 more acidic, which explains the change from 1:1 and 1:2 toward 1:1 1:anion stoichiometry upon addition of water. In addition, water is able to solvate the anion and also 1, which hinders the formation of 1:1 hydrogen-bonded 1:anion complexes prior to the abstraction of the proton.     

A novel, simple, colorimetric receptor based on 2′,4′-dinitrophenylhydrazone for acetate ion in organic medium

A novel 1,3-di(2′,4′-dinitrophenylhydrazone)-5-nitrobenzene receptor has been synthesized by simple steps with good yields. The anion recognition properties were studied by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The results showed that the receptor had a higher affinity to F^?, CH₃COO^? and H₂PO ₄ ^? , but no evident binding with Cl^?, Br^?, and I^?. Upon addition of the three former anions to the receptors in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) at 298.2 ± 0.1 K, the solution exhibited an obvious color change from yellow to mauve that could be observed by the naked eye, thus the receptor could act as a fluoride ion sensor even in the presence of other halide ions. The UV-Vis data indicates that a 1:1 stoichiometry complex formed through hydrogen-bonding interactions between receptor and anions. The hydrogen bond between phenylhydrazone –NH and acetate or fluoride anion was determined on the basis of ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments.
