Supramolecular peptide helix from a novel double turn forming peptide containing a β-amino acid

A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of the terminally protected tetrapeptide Boc-β-Ala-Aib-Leu-Aib-OMe 1 (Aib: α-aminoisobutyric acid; β-Ala: β-Alanine) reveals that it adopts a new type of double turn structure which self-associates to form a unique supramolecular helix through intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Scanning electron microscopic studies show that peptide 1 exhibits amyloid-like fibrillar morphology in the solid state.

Covalent chemistry and conformational dynamics of topologically chiral amide-based molecular knots

The readily available in gram quantities tris(allyloxy)knot of the amide-type 5 (knotane) can be completely and partially deprotected with nBu(3)SnH in the presence of a palladium catalyst resulting in hydroxyknotanes 7-9. These, in turn, react with diethylchlorophosphate giving rise to knotanes equipped with between one and three phosphoryl groups. Sulfonylation of bis(allyloxy)monohydroxyknotane 8 with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and, following removal of one or two allyl groups from the intermediate monosulfonate 13, give rise to sulfonyloxy-allyloxy-hydroxy- and sulfonyloxy-dihydroxy-knotanes 15 and 14, respectively. This provides a convenient method for the preparation of knotanes with any substitution pattern. All new knotanes have been isolated in preparative amounts and as highly pure substances with an exception of allyloxy-dihydroxyknotane 9. This compound could only be obtained as a mixture with the corresponding monohydroxy-derivative 8. The structures of all synthesized compounds were established by means of FAB and MALDI TOF mass spectrometry, (1)H and (31)P NMR spectroscopy. The triphosphorylated knotane 10 exhibits high solubility in alcohols, allowing its complete enantiomeric resolution with a commercially available chiral HPLC column. (1)H,(1)H DQF-COSY correlation spectroscopy along with H/D exchange experiments and ab initio calculations provided the first detailed (1)H NMR signal assignments of knotanes in [D(6)]DMSO solution. The combination of variable temperature (1)H and (31)P NMR spectroscopy and molecular modeling has been applied to study the conformational behavior of the new knotanes in different solvents. It has been shown that in DMSO solution at room temperature knotanes exist in a relatively rigid nonsymmetrical conformation similar to that found in the solid state while faster conformational exchange leading to the average D(3) symmetrical structure was detected in a number of other solvents.     

Supramolecular Assembly Formation in Monolayers of tert-Butyl Substituted Copper Phthalocyanine and Tetrabenzotriazaporphin

The effect is studied of the layer formation conditions on the molecular arrangement of copper tetra- tert-butyl phthalocyanine (CuPctBu₄) and copper tetra- tert-butyl tetrabenzotriazaporphin (CuThptBu₄) at the air–water interface. The decrease in initial surface concentration of these compounds is shown to affect the molecular orientation, as indicated by the increase in the area per molecule. The data are interpreted in terms of formation of CuPctBu₄ and CuThptBu₄ monolayers with a face-on molecular arrangement when the initial surface concentration is sufficiently small (N less than 1.6 × 10^–7 mole/m² for CuPctBu₄ and N less than 4 × 10^–7 mole/m² for CuThptBu₄) and changes in the molecular orientation to edge-on when the N values are higher. It is emphasized that the edge-on orientation on the water surface is not only a molecular but a collective property of the azaporphyrine supramolecular assembly.     

Synthesis, structure, and spectroscopy of phenylacetylenylene rods incorporating meso-substituted dipyrrin ligands

The synthesis, structure, and spectroscopic characterization of a series of phenylacetylenylene rodlike molecules containing dipyrromethene (dipyrrin) ligands are described. The combination of the phenylacetylenylene groups with the porphyrinogenic dipyrrin moieties results in a rich absorption spectroscopy for these compounds, although the fluorescence of the phenylacetylenylene moiety is quenched by presence of the dipyrrin chelator. The Cu(2+) and Fe(3+) complexes of these ligands have been prepared and three of these compounds have been structurally characterized by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Unlike other octahedral metal-dipyrrin complexes described to date, one of the iron complexes demonstrates ideal threefold symmetry in the solid-state. The elongated structure and high symmetry of these complexes suggests the use of these meso-substituted phenylacetylenylene ligands as an interesting class of extended, branched molecules for the construction of supramolecular architectures.     

Supramolecular Templating of Mesopores in Phase-Separating Silica Sol-Gels Incorporated with Cationic Surfactant

Silica gels with hierarchical macropores and mesopores have been prepared by inducing phase separation in the alkoxide-based sol-gel system with an addition of alkyltrimethylammonium salt. Narrowly distributed mesopores were observed in the heat-treated gel samples possibly as a result of supramolecular templating of silica oligomers in the reacting solution. The ionic attractive interaction and hydrophobicity of the attached alkyl group cooperatively determined the phase separation tendency. No indication of long-range order of the mesopores was obtained.

Functional Polyoxometalate Thin Films via Electrostatic Layer-by-Layer Self-Assembly

Polyoxometalates (POMs) comprise a structurally diverse class of inorganic transition metal oxygen clusters which—owing to their unique electronic properties—hold promise for a host of technological applications such as electrochromic windows, sensors, or heterogeneous catalysts, prototypic examples of which will be briefly exemplified. The integration of POMs into functional architectures and devices, however, necessitates the development of general methods that allow positioning these clusters in well-defined supramolecular architectures, thin films, or mesophases. This short review highlights recent advances in the preparation of composite multilayers fabricated by electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly (ELSA) of POMs and a variety of water-soluble cationic species, including transition metal complexes, cationic surfactants, polycations and bipolar pyridine.     

Progress on phthalocyanine-conjugated Ag and Au nanoparticles: Synthesis,characterization, and photo-physicochemical properties

Phthalocyanine (Pc) complexes are an important class of dyes with numerous (e.g., biological, photophysical, and analytical) applications. Among the methods used to improve the properties of these complexes, one should mention the introduction of different substituents, variation of the central metal ion, ligand exchange, and conjugation to nanomaterials (e.g., carbon-based nanomaterials and metal nanoparticles (NPs)). This work briefly reviews Pc complex conjugation to Ag and Au NPs, highlights the different NP shapes, and discusses the diversity of conjugation approaches. Moreover, the use of UV–Vis spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to characterize Pc-NP hybrids is summarized. The effect of conjugation on Pc photo-physicochemical properties (fluorescence, singlet oxygen generation, triplet state formation, and optical limiting behavior) is discussed, and future perspectives for the synthesis and applications of new hybrids are provided.
