向日葵状葫芦脲的合成与超分子自组装

葫芦脲(CB[n],n为最小重复单元数)是一类由苷脲与甲醛经缩合环化而形成的大环分子,因具有良好的分子识别性能及配位性能,在分离、催化、医药、互锁分子及超分子体系构建等领域有着广泛的应用。本课题组在苷脲分子中间的桥上增加一个碳原子,得到苷脲类似物丙基二脲(TD),TD进一步与甲醛缩合环化得到一系列向日葵状葫芦脲类似物(TD[n])。与传统苷脲相比,TD容易在碳原子上衍生化,衍生物对成环反应的影响较小,容易获得TD[n]。相比CB[n]的n最小值为5,TD[n]的n最小值减小到4,TD[4]是目前为止文献报道的葫芦脲家族的最小成员。此外,这些TD[n]有的对金属离子具有很好的选择配位能力,有的对质子化有机胺具有强的外结合性能,它们分别构建了一系列一维、二维或刺激响应型超分子聚合物。研究结果为TD[n]在超分子化学等领域的进一步应用打下坚实的基础。

Controllable fabrication of a supramolecular polymer incorporating twisted cucurbit[14]uril and cucurbit[8]uril via self-sorting

A linear supramolecular polymer with controllable features based on twisted cucurbit[14]uril (tQ[14]) and cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) was firstly fabricated via an effective self-sorting strategy. Herein we designed a monomer, 1?butyl?1′-(naphthalen- 2-ylmethyl)-4,4′-bipyridinium bromide (BNB), that contains bipyridyl, aliphatic butyl and aromatic naphthyl groups, simultaneously. Two host molecules, tQ[14] and Q[8] were employed to develop an effective strategy for constructing a linear supramolecular polymer with controllable features. The alkyl groups on both sides of BNB could insert into the two cavities of tQ[14], the naphthyl part of BNB via π-π stacking in Q[8] cavity, serving as the driving force for supramolecular polymerization. Through self-sorting of the monomer, tQ[14] and Q[8], led to the formation of the linear supramolecular polymer. Depolymerization could be achieved by addition of adamantane hydrochloride (AH) which driven two BNB guest molecules out of the Q[8] cavity. This self-sorting strategy has great potential, not only for designing supramolecular polymer materials with different controllable structures through introduction of multiple functional groups, but also for broadening the application of twisted cucurbit[14]uril in supramolecular chemistry.     

Toward a versatile toolbox for cucurbit[n]uril-based supramolecular hydrogel networks through in situ polymerization

The success of exploiting cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n])-based molecular recognition in self-assembled systems has sparked a tremendous interest in polymer and materials chemistry. In this study, polymerization in the presence of host-guest complexes is applied as a modular synthetic approach toward a diverse set of CB[8]-based supramolecular hydrogels with desirable properties, such as mechanical strength, toughness, energy dissipation, self-healing, and shear-thinning. A range of vinyl monomers, including acrylamide-, acrylate-, and imidazolium-based hydrophilic monomers, could be easily incorporated as the polymer backbones, leading to a library of CB[8] hydrogel networks. This versatile strategy explores new horizons for the construction of supramolecular hydrogel networks and materials with emergent properties in wearable and self-healable electronic devices, sensors, and structural biomaterials. © 2017 The Authors.

Cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8])‐Based Supramolecular Switches

The use of cucurbit[8]uril as a molecular host has emerged in the chemical literature as a reliable strategy for the creation of dynamic chemical systems, owing to its ability to form homo‐ and heteroternary complexes in aqueous media with appropriate molecular switches as guests. In this manner, CB[8]‐based supramolecular switches can be designed in a predictable and modular fashion, through the selection of appropriate guests able to condition the redox, photochemical, or pH‐triggered behavior of tailored multicomponent systems. Furthermore, CB[8] allows the implementation of dual/triple and linear/orthogonal stimuli‐dependent properties into these molecular devices by a careful selection of the guests. This versatility in their design gives these supramolecular switches great potential for the rational development of new materials, in which their function is not only determined by the custom‐made stimuli‐responsiveness, but also by the transient aggregation/disaggregation of homo‐ or heteromeric building blocks.     

Pyrrole/macrocycle/MOF supramolecular co-assembly for flexible solid state supercapacitors

Supramolecular assemblies constructed through the encapsulation of conductive polymers (CPs) by macrocyclic molecules have attracted increasing interest in the fields of supramolecular chemistry and electrochemistry. In this work, an effective strategy was reported to improve the stability and conductivity of CPs by electrochemically constructing different supramolecular assemblies composed of macrocycles and CPs. Typically, we uploaded zinc-based MOF (ZIF-8) onto carbon nanotube film (CNTF) and further electrically deposited macrocycles and CPs to gain the flexible conductive electrodes. Herein, five different supramolecular macrocycles, including α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), sulfato-β-cyclodextrin (SCD), sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SC[4]), cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) and cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) were utilized and the electrochemical performances of the assembly electrodes increased in an order of α-CD < SCD < SC[4] < CB[6] < CB[7], significantly improving the areal capacitance up to 1533 mF/cm². This strategy may provide a new way for the application of macrocyclic supramolecules in electrochemical systems.

Supramolecular Protein Immobilization on Lipid Bilayers

Protein immobilization on surfaces, and on lipid bilayers specifically, has great potential in biomolecular and biotechnological research. Of current special interest is the immobilization of proteins using supramolecular noncovalent interactions. This allows for a reversible immobilization and obviates the use of harsh ligation conditions that could denature fragile proteins. In the work presented here, reversible supramolecular immobilization of proteins on lipid bilayer surfaces was achieved by using the host–guest interaction of the macrocyclic molecule cucurbit[8]uril. A fluorescent protein was successfully immobilized on the lipid bilayer by making use of the property of cucurbit[8]uril to host together a methylviologen and the indole of a tryptophan positioned on the N‐terminal of the protein. The supramolecular complex was anchored to the bilayer through a cholesterol moiety that was attached to the methylviologen tethered with a small polyethylene glycol spacer. Protein immobilization studies using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) showed the assembly of the supramolecular complexes on the bilayer. Specific immobilization through the protein N‐terminus is more efficient than through protein side‐chain events. Reversible surface release of the proteins could be achieved by washing with cucurbit[8]uril or buffer alone. The described system shows the potential of supramolecular assembly of proteins and provides a method for site‐specific protein immobilization under mild conditions in a reversible manner.
