Host-guest complexes of a water soluble cucurbit[6]uril derivative with some dications of 1,ω-alkyldipyridines: <Superscript>1</Superscript>H NMR and X-ray structures

Interactions between a symmetrical tetramethyl-substituted cucurbit[6]uril (host: TMeQ[6]) and 1,ω-alkylenedipyridine (ω = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) dicationic guests were investigated using ¹H NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray crystallography. In these inclusion complexes, combined cavity and portal binding in TMeQ[6] were observed, and the length of the bridged alkylene was found to play an important role not only in balancing the overall hydrophilic/hydrophobic interaction between the host and the guest, but also in defining the structure of the resulting inclusion complexes. For the guest 1,2-ethylenedipyridine (Edpy), TMeQ[6] includes a positively charged pyridine ring of Edpy to form an unsymmetrical inclusion complex; for the guest 1,4-butylenedipyridine (Bdpy), TMeQ[6] includes a positively charged pyridine ring of Bdpy, but the different competitive interactions in and between the related inclusion complexes could lead to a fast exchange between the hosts and guests. For the guests with longer bridge chains, such as 1,6-hexamethylenedipyridine (Hdpy) or 1,8-octylenedipyridine (Odpy), a stable pseudorotaxane inclusion complex is formed by combining the hydrophobic cavity and the outer portal dipole-ion interactions. However, for 1,10-decatylenedipyridine (Ddpy), the two TMeQ[6] host molecules include the two end pyridine rings of Ddpy and form a dumbbell inclusion complex.

A novel strategy to assemble achiral ligands to chiral helical polyrotaxane structures

Using the achiral N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,6-hexanediamine ligand bearing two end pyridyl groups as the source of conformational chirality, a novel type of TMeQ[6]-based helical polyrotaxane was prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The chirality of the polyrotaxane was generated from twisting of the hexylidene of the N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,6-hexanediamine "string" when bound within the hydrophobic cavity of TMeQ[6]. Two opposite chiral helical polyrotaxanes crystallize as a racemic compound.     

Solubility enhancement of kinetin through host–guest interactions with cucurbiturils

We explored the use of cucurbiturils to form inclusion complexes to overcome the solubility problems of kinetin, a plant cytokinin. Inclusion complexes between kinetin and Q[7], TMeQ[6] and HMeQ[6] in aqueous solution and in solid state were investigated by phase solubility studies, ¹H NMR and IR. The effects of pH and temperature on complex stability were also investigated. Phase solubility studies showed that kinetin solubility increased in a linear fashion as a function of Q[7] and TMeQ[6] concentrations. However, kinetin solubility increased first, then decreased as the HMeQ[6] concentration increased, and the maximum solubility of kinetin was achieved at 4.95 mM in HMeQ[6]. The solubility of kinetin as well as the stability constant of its complex with Q[7] were affected by the pH of the medium. The thermodynamic parameters of the complex formation were also determined, and it showed that the formation of the inclusion complexes between kinetin and Q[7] was enthalpy controlled, suggesting that hydrophobic and van der Waals interactions were the main driving forces. Moreover, we found that the size of the cavity of cucurbituril played an important role in the association process. The formation of inclusion complexes between Q[7], TMeQ[6] and HMeQ[6] with kinetin was confirmed by ¹H NMR, and IR spectroscopy showed the presence of inclusion complexes in solid state. Our results demonstrated that the complexation of kinetin with Q[n] could be used to improve the solubility of kinetin in aqueous solution.     

Kinetic and thermodynamic inclusion complexes of symmetric teramethyl-substituted cucurbit[6]uril with HCl salts of N,N′-bis(pyridylmethyl)-1,6-hexanediamine

The host–guest interaction of symmetrical α,α′,δ,δ′-tetramethyl-cucurbit[6]uril (TMeQ[6]) with the hydrochloride salts of N,N′-bis(4-pyridylmethyl)-1,6-hexanediamine (P6), N,N′-bis(3-pyridyl-methyl)-1,6-hexanediamine (M6) and N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,6-hexanediamine (O6) was investigated via single crystal X-ray diffraction, ¹H NMR spectroscopy, electronic absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Single crystal X-ray diffraction showed that the hexyl moiety of P6 or M6 was incorporated in the cavity of TMeQ[6], while the two pyridylmethyl moieties of O6 were incorporated in the TMeQ[6] cavity in the solid state. The ¹H NMR results in aqueous solution revealed that the TMeQ[6]-P6 and TMeQ[6]-M6 host–guest interaction systems produce a kinetic dumbbell-shaped inclusion complex at the initial stage and then an equilibrium pseudorotaxane-shaped inclusion complex as the only product after heating. However, only the pseudorotaxane-shaped inclusion complex was observed for the TMeQ[6]-O6 host–guest interaction system. Aqueous absorption spectrophotometric analysis showed that the dumbbell-shaped inclusion complexes were stable at pH 5.6, had a host–guest ratio of 2:1 and formed quantitatively at ～10¹¹ l²/mol² for the TMeQ[6]-M6 and TMeQ[6]-O6 systems. The transformation from dumbbell to pseudorotaxane-shaped inclusion complexes for the TMeQ[6]-P6 and TMeQ[6]-M6 host–guest systems yielded activation energies of 59.35 ± 1.55 and 78.7 ± 3.45 kJ/mol, respectively. The pseudorotaxane-shaped inclusion complexes were stable at pH 5.6, had a host–guest ratio of 1:1 and formed quantitatively at ～10⁷ l/mol for the TMeQ[6]-M6 and TMeQ[6]-P6 systems.     

Interaction between tetramethylcucurbit[6]uril and some pyridine derivates

Interaction between tetramethylcucurbit[6]uril (TMeQ[6], host) with hydrochloride salts of 2-phenylpridine (G1), 2-benzylpyridine (G2), and 4-benzylpyridine (G3) (guests) have been investigated by using 1H NMR spectroscopy and electronic absorption spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The 1H NMR spectra analysis established an interaction model in which the host selectively included the phenyl moiety of the HCl salt of the above three guests, and formed inclusion complexes with a host-guest ratio of 1:1. Absorption spectrophotometric analysis allowed quantitative measurement of the stability of these host-guest inclusion complexes. Particularly, we have established a competitive interaction in which one host-guest inclusion complex pair is much more stable than another host-guest inclusion complex pair. The stability constants for the three host-guest inclusion complexes of TMeQ[6]-G1, TMeQ[6]-G2, and TMeQ[6]-G3 are approximately 2x10(6), 60.7, and 19.9 mol-1.L, respectively. To understand how subtle differences in the structure of the title guests lead to a significant difference in the stability of the corresponding host-guest inclusion complexes with the TMeQ[6], ab initio theoretical calculations have been performed, not only for the gas phase but also the solution phase (water as solvent) in all cases. The calculation results revealed that when the phenyl moiety of the three pyridine derivate guests was included, the host-guest complexation reached the minimum, and the corresponding energy differences for the formation of the title host-guest inclusion complexes are qualitatively consistent with the experimental results.     

Supramolecular assemblies of cucurbit[n]urils and 4-aminopyridine controlled by cucurbit[n]uril size (n = 5, 6, 7 and 8)

The binding interactions between 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and a series of cucurbit[n]urils (Q[5], Q[6], TMeQ[6], Q[7], Q[8]) have been studied using ¹H NMR spectroscopy, UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and X-ray crystallography. The data indicates that the Q[5]@4-AP complex exhibits exo binding, which is not observed in the other four host-guest complexes. Furthermore, X-ray crystallography clearly reveals how the Q[n]s bind with 4-AP to form complexes, for example Q[5] forms an outer-surface complex, whilst Q[6], TMeQ[6] and Q[7] formed 1:1 host and guest type complexes, and Q[8] formed a stable 1:2 ternary complex due to its large cavity, which can accommodate two 4-AP molecules.     

Host–guest complexes of some cucurbit[n]urils with the hydrochloride salts of some imidazole derivatives

Interaction between the normal cucurbit[n]urils (n = 6,7,8; Q[6], Q[7], Q[8]) and a sym-tetramethyl-substituted cucurbit[6]uril derivative (TMeQ[6]) with the hydrochloride salts of some imidazole derivatives N-(4-hydroxylphenyl)imidazole (g1), N-(4-aminophenyl)imidazole (g2), 2-phenylimidazole (g3) in aqueous solution was investigated by using ¹H NMR spectroscopy, electronic absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy, as well as by using a single crystal X-ray diffraction determination. The ¹H NMR spectra analysis established a basic interaction model in which inclusion complexes with a host:guest ratio of 1:1 forms for the Q[6]s and Q[7] cases, while with a host:guest ratio of 1:2 form for the Q[8] cases. It was common that the hosts selectively bound the phenyl moiety of the guests. Absorption spectrophotometric and fluorescence spectroscopic analysis in aqueous solution defined the stability of the host–guest inclusion complexes at pH 5.8 with a host:guest ratio of 1:1 form quantitatively as logK values between 4 and 5 for the smaller hosts Q[6 or 7]s, while with a host:guest ratio of 1:2 form quantitatively as logK values between 11 and 12 for the host Q[8]. Two single crystal X-ray structures of the inclusion complexes TMeQ[6]-g2 · HCl and TMeQ[6]-g3 · HCl showed the phenyl moiety of these two guests inserted into the host cavity, which supported particularly the ¹H NMR spectroscopic study in solution.
