Protein‐mimics are of great interest for their structure, stability, and properties. We are interested in the synthesis of protein‐mimics containing triazole linkages as peptide‐bond surrogate by topochemical azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) polymerization of azide‐ and alkyne‐modified peptides. The rationally designed dipeptide N3‐CH2CO‐Phe‐NHCH2CCH ( 1 ) crystallized in a parallel β‐sheet arrangement and are head‐to‐tail aligned in a direction perpendicular to the β‐sheet‐direction. Upon heating, crystals of 1 underwent single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal polymerization forming a triazole‐linked pseudoprotein with Gly‐Phe‐Gly repeats. During TAAC polymerization, the pseudoprotein evolved as helical chains. These helical chains are laterally assembled by backbone hydrogen bonding in a direction perpendicular to the helical axis to form helical sheets. This interesting helical‐sheet orientation in the crystal resembles the cross‐α‐amyloids, where α‐helices are arranged laterally as sheets. 相似文献
A diphenylalanine derivative, N3‐Phe‐Phe‐NHCH2CCH, was designed for topochemical azide–alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) polymerization. This dipeptide adopted β‐sheet arrangement as designed, in its crystals, but the azide and alkyne were not fitly aligned for their topochemical reaction. However, the voids present around these groups allowed them to attain a reactive geometry upon heating and their consequent TAAC polymerization to a pseudoprotein in a single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal (SCSC) fashion. This motion led to the creation of channels in the product crystal and it absorbed water from the surroundings to fill these channels as H‐bonded water wire. The pseudoprotein undergo reversible hydration/dehydration in SCSC fashion many times under mild conditions: hydration at low relative humidity and dehydration at low temperature. Vapor sorption analyses suggest that this fully organic polymer might be useful as an energy‐efficient desiccant material for controlling indoor humidity. 相似文献

To synthesize a fully organic 1D polymer in a novel twist‐stacked topology, we designed a peptide monomer HC≡CCH2‐NH‐Ile‐Leu‐N3, which crystallizes with its molecules H‐bonded along a six‐fold screw axis. These H‐bonded columns pack parallelly such that molecules arrange head‐to‐tail, forming linear non‐covalent chains in planes perpendicular to the screw axis. The chains arrange parallelly to form molecular layers which twist‐stack along the screw axis. Crystals of this monomer, on heating, undergo single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal (SCSC) topochemical azide–alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) polymerization to yield an exclusively 1,4‐triazole‐linked polymer in a twist‐stacked layered topology. This topologically defined polymer shows better mechanical strength and thermal stability than its unordered form, as evidenced by nanoindentation studies and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. This work illustrates the scope of topochemical polymerizations for synthesizing polymers in pre‐decided topologies. 相似文献
The synthesis of crystalline helical polymers of trehalose via topochemical azide–alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) of a trehalose‐based monomer is presented. An unsymmetrical trehalose derivative having azide and alkyne crystallizes in two different forms having almost similar packing. Upon heating, both the crystals undergo TAAC reaction to form crystalline polymers. Powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD) studies revealed that the monomers in both the crystals polymerize in a crystal‐to‐crystal fashion; circular dichroism (CD) studies of the product crystals revealed that the formed polymer is helically ordered. This solvent‐free, catalyst‐free polymerization method that eliminates the tedious purification of the polymeric product exemplifies the advantage of topochemical polymerization reaction over traditional solution‐phase polymerization. 相似文献
There is high demand for polysaccharide-mimics as enzyme-stable substitutes for polysaccharides for various applications. Circumventing the problems associated with the solution-phase synthesis of such polymers, we report here the synthesis of a crystalline polysaccharide-mimic by topochemical polymerization. By crystal engineering, we designed a topochemically reactive crystal of a glucose-mimicking monomer decorated with azide and alkyne units. In the crystal, the monomers arrange in head-to-tail fashion with their azide and alkyne groups in a ready-to-react antiparallel geometry, suitable for their topochemical azide–alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) reaction. On heating the crystals, these pre-organized monomer molecules undergo regiospecific TAAC polymerization, yielding 1,4-triazolyl-linked pseudopolysaccharide (pseudostarch) in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal manner. This crystalline pseudostarch shows better thermal stability than its amorphous form and many natural polysaccharides.Prudent crystal engineering allows head-to-tail arrangement of inositol monomer molecules pre-organizing azide and alkyne units of adjacent monomers in a ready-to-react manner. On heating regiospecific SCSC polymerization yields a starch-like polymer.相似文献
A method for the region‐selective deposition of nanoparticles (NPs) by the Huisgen 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition is presented. The approach enables defined stacking of various oxide NPs in any order with control over layer thickness. Thereby the reaction is performed between a substrate, functionalized with a self‐assembled monolayer of an azide‐bearing phosphonic acid (PA) and aluminum oxide (AlOx) NPs functionalized with an alkyne bearing PA. The layer of alkyne functionalized AlOx NPs is then used as substrate for the deposition of azide‐functionalized indium tin oxide (ITO) NPs to provide a binary stack. This progression is then conducted with alkyne‐functionalized CeO2 NPs, yielding a ternary stack of NPs with three different NP cores. The stacks are characterized by AFM and SEM, defining the region‐selectivity of the deposition technique. Finally, these assemblies have been tested in devices as a dielectric to form a capacitor resulting in a dramatic increase in the measured capacitance. 相似文献
To better understand the range of cellular interactions of PtII‐based chemotherapeutics, robust and efficient methods to track and analyze Pt targets are needed. A powerful approach is to functionalize PtII compounds with alkyne or azide moieties for post‐treatment conjugation through the azide–alkyne cycloaddition (click) reaction. Herein, we report an alkyne‐appended cis‐diamine PtII compound, cis‐[Pt(2‐(5‐hexynyl)amido‐1,3‐propanediamine)Cl2] ( 1 ), the X‐ray crystal structure of which exhibits a combination of unusual radially distributed CH/π(CC) interactions, Pt Pt bonding, and NH:O/NH:Cl hydrogen bonds. In solution, 1 exhibits no Pt alkyne interactions and binds readily to DNA. Subsequent click reactivity with nonfluorescent dansyl azide results in a 70‐fold fluorescence increase. This result demonstrates the potential for this new class of alkyne‐modified Pt compound for the comprehensive detection and isolation of Pt‐bound biomolecules. 相似文献

The triafulvene molecule (c‐C4H4)—the simplest representative of the fulvene family—has been synthesized for the first time in the gas phase through the reaction of the methylidyne radical (CH) with methylacetylene (CH3CCH) and allene (H2CCCH2) under single‐collision conditions. The experimental and computational data suggest triafulvene is formed by the barrierless cycloaddition of the methylidyne radical to the π‐electron density of either C3H4 isomer followed by unimolecular decomposition through elimination of atomic hydrogen from the CH3 or CH2 groups of the reactants. The dipole moment of triafulvene of 1.90 D suggests that this molecule could represent a critical tracer of microwave‐inactive allene in cold molecular clouds, thus defining constraints on the largely elusive hydrocarbon chemistry in low‐temperature interstellar environments, such as that of the Taurus Molecular Cloud 1 (TMC‐1). 相似文献
Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 2‐Azido‐4,6‐dichloro‐s‐triazine Single crystals of 2‐azido‐4,6‐dichloro‐s‐triazine were obtained from a reaction between cyanuric chloride and sodium azide. The structure of this compound was determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. 2‐Azido‐4,6‐dichloro‐s‐triazine crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca (no. 61), Z = 8, a = 746.48(8) pm, b = 952.6(1) pm, c = 2001.6(2) pm. The crystal structure contains (C3N3)(N3)Cl2 molecules being arranged in a tape‐like fashion, with tapes running along a‐axis direction. The tapes are combined with each other by interlocking azide‐ligands including an angle of approximately 90°. This arrangement leads to the formation of corrugated layers in the crystal structure. 相似文献
The treatment of [AuCl(SMe2)] with an equimolar amount of NaO5NCS2 (O5NCS2=(aza‐[18]crown‐6)dithiocarbamate) in CH3CN gave [Au2(O5NCS2)2] ? 2 CH3CN ( 2? 2 CH3CN), and its crystal structure displays a dinuclear gold(I)‐azacrown ether ring and an intermolecular gold(I) ??? gold(I) contact of 2.8355(3) Å in crystal lattices. It is noted that two other single crystals of 2 ?tert‐butylbenzene?H2O and 2? 0.5 m‐xylene can be successfully obtained from a single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal (SCSC) transformation process by immersing single crystals of 2? 2 CH3CN in the respective solvents, and both also show intermolecular gold(I) ??? gold(I) contacts of 2.9420(5) and 2.890(2)–2.902(2) Å, respectively. Significantly, the emissions of all three 2 ?solvates are well correlated with their respective intermolecular gold(I) ??? gold(I) contacts, where such contacts increase with 2? 2 CH3CN (2.8355(3) Å)< 2? 0.5 m‐xylene (2.890(2)–2.902(2) Å)< 2? tert‐butylbenzene?H2O (2.9420(5) Å), and their emission energies increase with 2? 2 CH3CN (602 nm)< 2? 0.5 m‐xylene (583 nm)< 2? tert‐butylbenzene?H2O (546 nm) as well. In this regard, we further examine the solvochromic luminescence for some other aromatics, and finally their emissions are within 546–602 nm. Obviously, the above results are mostly ascribed to the occurrence of intermolecular gold(I) ??? gold(I) contacts in 2 ?solvates, which are induced by the presence of various solvates in the solid state, as a key role to be responsible for their solvochromic luminescence. 相似文献
Using a combination of metabolically labeled glycans, a bioorthogonal copper(I)‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition, and the controlled bleaching of fluorescent probes conjugated to azide‐ or alkyne‐tagged glycans, a sufficiently low spatial density of dye‐labeled glycans was achieved, enabling dynamic single‐molecule tracking and super‐resolution imaging of N‐linked sialic acids and O‐linked N‐acetyl galactosamine (GalNAc) on the membrane of live cells. Analysis of the trajectories of these dye‐labeled glycans in mammary cancer cells revealed constrained diffusion of both N‐ and O‐linked glycans, which was interpreted as reflecting the mobility of the glycan rather than to be caused by transient immobilization owing to spatial inhomogeneities on the plasma membrane. Stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) imaging revealed the structure of dynamic membrane nanotubes. 相似文献
Summary: Novel hyperbranched poly([1,2,3]‐triazole)s were synthesized from several AB2 monomers by a 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The compound 3,5‐bis(propargyloxy)benzyl azide was polymerized thermally at room temperature leading to 1,4‐ and 1,5‐disubstituted poly([1,2,3]‐triazole) and catalytically leading only to the 1,4‐disubstituted poly([1,2,3]‐triazole). Only the thermal reaction led to fully soluble products. The AB2 monomers containing an internal alkyne A unit could be autopolymerized thermally under mild reaction conditions leading to soluble, high‐molecular‐weight hyperbranched poly([1,2,3] triazole)s. All products were characterized by detailed NMR investigations.
