Single stranded helical supramolecular architecture with a left handed helical water chain in ternary copper(II) tryptophan/diamine complexes

The ternary copper(II) complexes [Cu(l-trp)(bpy)](ClO₄) (1) and [Cu(l-trp)(phen)] (ClO₄) · 3H₂O (2) (where l-trp = l-tryptophan, bpy = bipridyl, phen = phenanthroline) have been synthesized. The single crystal X-ray structures for these complexes revealed that the monocationic Cu^II-units are interlinked through Cu–OCO–Cu connectivity and exist as helical coordination polymers. The two different helical strands composed with Cu1 and Cu2 independently, possess a similar pitch distance of 7.713 Å in complex 1. For complex 2, existing in the hydrated form, the Cu(II) polymeric strand and the hydrated water molecules have gained a supramolecular helical architecture with a similar pitch distance of 8.133 Å. The two helical strands in complex 1 are associated with right handed (PP) supramolecular chirality, while the helical water chain and the Cu^II-strand in 2 are self assembled into left handed (MM) helicity in the solid state. The solid state CD recorded for 1 and the dehydrated form of 2 exhibit a positive optical sign at their respective d–d band [λ_max = 667 nm, 1; λ_max = 630 nm, 2], the solution state CD for both these complexes are found to be inverted into a negative optical sign, which could be attributed to inversion of their associated supramolecular helicity. The TGA curve illustrates two distinct weight losses at 60 °C and 87 °C, equivalent to one and two water molecules, respectively. The PXRD pattern for the hydrated and dehydrated forms of 2 indicated a change, on comparison with the simulated diffractograph. The fluorescence properties of both these complexes, possessing tryptophan and bipy/phen, were investigated.     

Raman Optical Activity (ROA) as a New Tool to Elucidate the Helical Structure of Poly(phenylacetylene)s

Poly(phenylacetylene)s are a family of helical polymers constituted by conjugated double bonds. Raman spectra of these polymers show a structural fingerprint of the polyene backbone which, in combination with its helical orientation, makes them good candidates to be studied by Raman optical activity (ROA). Four different well‐known poly(phenylacetylene)s adopting different scaffolds and ten different helical senses have been prepared. Raman and ROA spectra were recorded and allowed to establish ROA‐spectrum/helical‐sense relationships: a left/right‐handed orientation of the polyene backbone (M_helix/P_helix) produces a triplet of positive/negative ROA bands. Raman and ROA spectra of each polymer exhibited the same profile, and the sign of the ROA spectrum was opposite to the lowest‐energy electronic circular dichroism (ECD) band, indicating a resonance effect. Resonance ROA appears then as an indicator of the helical sense of poly(phenylacetylene)s, especially for those with an extra Cotton band in the ECD spectrum, where a wrong helical sense is assigned based on ECD, while ROA alerts of this misassignment.     

The N‐Terminal Nonapeptide of Cephaibols A and C: A Naturally Occurring Example of Mismatched Helical Screw‐Sense Control

The N‐terminal nonapeptide domain of the fungal nonribosomal peptide antibiotics cephaibol A and cephaibol C (AcPheAib₄LeuIvaGly‐ Aib) is reported to adopt a right‐handed helical conformation in the crystalline state. However, this conformation is at odds with the left‐handed helicity observed in solution in related synthetic oligomers capped with Ac‐L ‐PheAib₄ fragments. We report the synthesis of four diastereoisomers of the cephaibol N‐terminal nonapeptide, and show by NMR and CD spectroscopy that the peptide containing the chiral amino acids Phe and Leu in the naturally occurring relative configuration exists in solution as an interconverting mixture of helical screw‐sense conformers. In contrast, the nonapeptide containing the unnatural relative configuration at Phe and Leu adopts a single, stable helical screw‐sense, which is left handed when the N‐terminal Phe residue is L and right‐handed when the N‐terminal Phe residue is D .     

Conformational Study of Heteropentapeptides Containing an α‐Ethylated α,α‐Disubstituted Amino Acid: (S)‐Butylethylglycine (=2‐Amino‐2‐ethylhexanoic Acid) within a Sequence of Dimethylglycine (=2‐Aminoisobutyric Acid) Residues

Heteropentapeptides containing the α‐ethylated α,α‐disubstituted amino acid (S)‐butylethylglycine and four dimethylglycine residues, i.e., CF₃CO‐[(S)‐Beg]‐(Aib)₄‐OEt ( 4 ) and CF₃CO‐(Aib)₂‐[(S)‐Beg]‐(Aib)₂‐OEt ( 7 ), were synthesized by conventional solution methods. In the solid state, the preferred conformation of 4 was shown to be both a right‐handed (P) and a left‐handed (M) 3₁₀‐helical structure, and that of 7 was a right‐handed (P) 3₁₀‐helical structure. IR, CD, and ¹H‐NMR spectra revealed that the dominant conformation of both 4 and 7 in solution was the 3₁₀‐helical structure. These conformations were also supported by molecular‐mechanics calculations.     

Ratiometric fluorescent and colorimetric sensors for Cu based on 4,5-disubstituted-1,8-naphthalimide and sensing cyanide via Cu displacement approach

Two 4,5-disubstituted-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives 1 and 2 were synthesized as ratiometric fluorescent and colorimetric sensors for Cu²⁺, respectively. In 100% aqueous solutions of 1, the presence of Cu²⁺ induces a strong and increasing fluorescent emission centered at 478 nm at the expense of the fluorescent emission of 1 centered at 534 nm. Compound 2 senses Cu²⁺ by means of a colorimetric (primrose yellow to pink) method with a thorough quench in emission attributed to the deprotonation of the secondary amine conjugated to the naphthalimide fluorophore. 1-Cu²⁺ and 2-Cu²⁺ sense cyanide in ratiometric way via colorimetric and fluorescent changes.     

Autoassembling of the cage structures

Enantiomeric dilactones ((1R,4R)-(+)-1 and (1S,4S)-(-)-1) of αα′-dihydroxy-αα′-di-tert-butylglutaric acid have been prepared. The Cotton effect sign of the n→π*-transition of the lactone chromophore in enantiomers1 is determined by the contribution of the uncompensated bonds of the δ-dilactone ring, but not by that of the γ-monolactone ring of1. The correlation of the Cotton effect sign of the n→π*-transition with the chirality of the cage structure and the absolute configuration for the series of 1,4-dialkyldilactones of type1 has been suggested. The contribution of the pseudo-a-oriented amide group to, the Cotton effect sign of the lactone n→π*-transition (the effect of the third chiral sphere) in diastereomeric lactonamides2a,b predominates over that of the nonplanar bonds of the heterocycle (over the effect of the second chiral sphere).     

Chiral discrimination of a helically organized crown ether array parallel to the helix axis of polyisocyanate

The asymmetric polymerization of 4′‐isocyanatobenzo‐18‐crown‐6 with the lithium amide of (S)‐(2‐methoxymethyl)pyrrolidine successfully proceeded to afford end‐functionalized poly(4′‐isocyanatobenzo‐18‐crown‐6) with (S)‐(2‐methoxymethyl)pyrrolidine (polymer 2 ). In the circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of 2 , a clear positive Cotton effect was observed in the range of 240–350 nm corresponding to the absorption of the polymer backbone, indicating that 2 partially formed a one‐handed helical structure, which was preserved by the chirality of (S)‐(2‐methoxymethyl)pyrrolidine bonding to the terminal end in 2 . In the titration experiments for the CD intensity of 2 in the presence of D ‐ and L ‐Phe·HClO₄ (where Phe is phenylalanine), a small but remarkable difference was observed in the amount of the chiral guest needed for saturation of the CD intensity and in the saturated CD intensity, indicating that the extremely stable, one‐handed helical part should exist in the main chain of 2 , which was not inverted even when the unfavorable chiral guest for the predominant helical sense, L ‐Phe·HClO₄, was added. In addition, helical polymer 2 exhibited a chiral discrimination ability toward racemic guests; that is, the guests were extracted from the aqueous phase into the organic phase with enantiomeric excess. The driving force of the chiral discrimination ability of 2 should certainly be attributed to the one‐handed helical structure in 2 . © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystal structure of 1,3-diphenyladamantane and trans-1,4-diphenylcyclohexane: torsion angles about C-Ph bonds in α,ω-diphenyl(alicyclic hydrocarbon)

The orientation of the two phenyl rings in α,ω-diphenylalkanes with rigid carbon skeletons is investigated through characterization of the crystal and molecular structures of 1,3-diphenyladamantane (1) and trans-1,4-diphenylcyclohexane (2). The two phenyl rings in 1 have different conformations about the C-Ph bonds, with torsion angles between the phenyl ring and the C1-C2-C3 plane of 0.65 and 71.7°. A hydrogen atom at the meta-position of one of the phenyl rings contact intermolecularly with a tertiary hydrogen atom at C5 of adamantane within the sum of van der Waals radii. Due to the helical conformation, the short CH?HC contacts (2.231 Å) construct supramolecular triple helical strands. In contrast to 1, the phenyl rings in 2 have identical configurations, with equatorial position and bisected conformation as expected from density functional calculations. The molecular packing of 2 exhibits a herringbone pattern of (aromatic)C-H?π contacts.     

Folding pentapeptides into left and right handed alpha helices

Left or right handed alpha helicity can be induced in a pentapeptide (ANGYG) by appending left or right handed helical cycles as chiral templates. This sequence corresponds to a rare left handed helix found in the protein alanine racemase. Circular dichroism spectra reveal that pentapeptide ANGYG has no detectable structure in aq phosphate buffer, that it is an ambidextrous peptide in that it can be directed to fold into either a left handed or right handed alpha helix in water, with greater propensity for the uncommon left handed than the normal right handed conformation. A helix-inducing cyclic peptide at both ends of this peptide was more effective at inducing alpha helicity than a single cyclic peptide at one end. The alpha helical cyclic peptides provide novel tools for folding short peptides into thermodynamically unstable helices in water, and for studying factors that control chirality and helix induction.     

Circular dichroism and exciton effect of syndiotactic methacrylic polymers with chiral diacyl hydrazide side chain. II. Poly(methacrylic acid–Nβ (L-(+)-lactoyl) hydrazide)

Syndiotactic poly(methacrylic acid hydrazide) has been condensed with L -(+)-lactic acid to form optically active side chains which are connected to the main chain by diacyl hydrazide moieties. A model compound was prepared in the same way from pivalic acid hydrazide. The CD spectra of polymer and model compound have been recorded in aqueous solution at different pH. In the acidic and neutral range, a strong Cotton effect is observed at 195 nm for the polymer which is not present for the model. This Cotton effect may be part of an exciton doublet, the second half of which may be located below 190 nm, the limit of the CD spectrometer employed. In the alkaline region, the diacyl hydrazide moiety is deprotonated and the polymer leads in contrast to the model to a well developed exciton effect centered around a crossover point of 241 nm. The influence of the addition of alcohols and salt on the CD spectra is studied, as well as the effect of temperature. For both the acidic to neutral range on one hand, and the alkaline region, on the other hand, ordered conformations are postulated. For the alkaline region a specific helical conformation is discussed.     

Synthesis and structures of some di- and triferrocenylmethane derivatives

Some triferrocenylmethane derivatives were prepared by reaction of triferrocenylmethanol (5) with triphenylcarbenium tetrafluoroborate followed by a nucleophile. Crystal structure analyses of triferrocenylmethane (7) and of 1,1,1-triferrocenyl-2,2-dimethylpropane (11) show that the conformation adopted by the triferrocenylmethyl group differs significantly with the steric bulk of the substituent at the central carbon atom. Treatment of 1,1′-bis(tributylstannyl)ferrocene (13) with 1 equiv. of butyllithium followed by chloroethylformiate affords complexes with one (14), two (15) or three ferrocenyl units (16) depending on the amount of chloroethylformiate used. Compound 16 is the first triferrocenylmethane derivative with substituents at the opposite cyclopentadienyl ring. Threefold lithiation of this compound is shown to work using butyllithium followed by dimethylformamide.     

Tweezers-like aromatic molecules and their luminescent properties depending on the structures

Di(hydroxyphenyl)pyrimidine with two anthryl substituents 1a was synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. The molecule prefers ‘U’-shaped conformation supported by intramolecular O-H···N hydrogen bonds in the solid state and in solution. The CHCl₃-solvated compound binds two CHCl₃ molecules between the two parallel anthryl planes. Hexylation of the OH groups of 1a produces 1c whose diarylpyrimidine core contains these aromatic planes with O···H-C interaction and helical alignment. Compound 1c shows strong emission from the anthryl groups (410 nm, φ = 0.39), while luminescence is not observed for 1a partly due to quenching via PET (photo-induced electron transfer) process.     

Synthesis and characterization of polybinaphthalene incorporating chiral (R) or (S)-1,1′-binaphthalene and oxadiazole units by Heck reaction

Chiral conjugated polymers P-1 and P-2 were synthesized by the polymerization of (R)-3,3′-diiodo-2,2′-bisbutoxy-1,1′-binaphthalene ((R)-M-1) and (S)-3,3′-diiodo-2,2′-bisbutoxy-1,1′-binaphthalene ((S)-M-1) with 2,5-bis(4-vinylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (M-2) under Pd-catalyzed Heck coupling reaction, respectively. Both monomers and polymers were analysed by NMR, MS, FT-IR, UV, DSC-TG, fluorescent spectroscopy, GPC and CD spectra. The chiral conjugated polymers exhibit strong Cotton effect in their circular dichroism (CD) spectra indicating a high rigidity of polymer backbone. CD spectra of polymers P-1 and P-2 are almost identical and have opposite signs for their position. These polymers have strong blue fluorescence.     

Conformational studies of helicenes—VIII1: Synthesis and conformation of two hexahelicene analogues having a non-aromatic,five-membered ring

Phenanthro[3,4-c]fluorenone (5) and phenanthro[3,4-c]fluorene (1) have been prepared from hexahelicene-5,6-quinone. The effect of the presence of a five-membered ring on the helical conformation has been studied by comparison of NMR data of 1 and 5 with those of hexahelicene. Force field calculations of the structure of 1 agree with the results of the NMR analysis.     

Synthesis and chiroptical property of C2-symmetric cyclohexapyrrole

Condensation reaction of gem-dimethyldipyrrylmethane-5,5′-dicarbinol and 4,4′-dimethyl-3,3′-di-iso-butyl-2,2′-bipyrrole under the catalysis by trifluoroacetic acid gave a hexapyrrolic macrocycle 6 in 15% yield after DDQ oxidation. X-ray crystallography of 6 shows that three parts of highly planar dipyrrylmethene unit are assembled by two sp³ hybridized gem-dimethyl carbon bridges and one direct linking at the pyrrole α-positions, leading to C₂ molecular symmetry. The complexation of 6 with (S)-(+)- and (R)-(−)-mandelic acid induced a CD Cotton effect at 461 and 650 nm.     

Effects of the Auxiliary Ligands on the Structures of Diphenate Complexes: From 1D Helical Chain to 2D Network

Two coordination polymers, [Cd(dpa)(L1)] ( 1 ) and [Cd(dpa)(L2)]·CH₃CH₂OH₃ ( 2 ) (L1 = 2,6‐bis(1H‐benzimidazol‐2yl)‐pyridine, L2 = 2,2′‐(1,4‐butanediyl) bis (1H‐ benzimidazole) (L2), both of which contain helical chain subunits, were synthesized by the reaction of Cd^II salts and diphenic acid (H₂dpa) with rigid, chelating and flexible, bridging auxiliary ligands, respectively. Compound 1 has a 1D helical chain structure, in which dpa^2– as bridging ligand is responsible for the formation of the main framework and L1 as chelating ligand grafts on one side of the helical chain. This structure is further extended into a 3D supramolecular framework through two kinds of strong hydrogen bonding interactions. Compound 2 has a 2D structure, in which dpa^2– bridges the Cd^II atoms into helical chains and L2 bridges the left‐ and right‐handed chains into a racemic layer with a [4,4] topology.     

Steric inhibition of π-electron delocalization in 1, 3-dienes : Circular dichroism of methylisopulegene and 3, 8-p-menthadiene

The conjugated diene, “methylisopulegene” (1, 1-isopropenyl-2,4-dimethyl-1-cyclohexene), exhibits a CD Cotton effect (CE) with Δε₂₁₇= + 1.77 but no UV maximum down to 200nm; whereas, the structurally related conjugated diene, 3,-8-p-menthadiene (2, 1-isopropenyl-4-methyl-1-cyclohexene), exhibits a more normal UV maximum at 232 nm (ε = 17,300) and a CE with Δε₂₄₀ = +2.56.

The synthesis and structural characterization of bis(2-(1,3,2-benzodithiarsol-2ylsulfanyl)-benzenesulfide) (1) and 2-chloro-benzo-1,3,2-dithiastibole (2) are reported. Both compounds contain a five-membered ring with sulfur bound to the central group 15 atom. In compound 1, the centroidal distance between each opposing arene is 3.819 Å. An alternating arene sandwich structure is created in the solid state with an intramolecular centroid distance between each set of stacked rings of 5.467 Å. Compound 2 is an example of a three coordinate antimony dithiolate. It does not possess any of the secondary interactions seen in 1. Compound 2 demonstrates trigonal bypyramidal geometry around the antimony if secondary interactions are considered.     

Synthesis,Structures, and Properties of two Helical Structures from Rigid Carboxylate Ligand and Flexible N‐Bridging Ligands

Two novel coordination polymers based on mixed ligands, [Zn(dpb)(bdc)(H₂O)]_n ( 1 ) and [Cd(dpb)(bbdc)(H₂O)(DMF)]_n ( 2 ) [dpb = 1, 4‐bis(pyridin‐3‐ylmethoxy)benzene, H₂bdc = 1, 4‐benzenedicarboxylate, H₂bbdc = 4, 4′‐dibenzenedicarboxylate], were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Compound 1 forms meso‐helical chain and shows three fold interpenetrating architecture with 4‐connected net {6 6} diamond topology. Compound 2 is a left‐ and right‐handed helical layer, which are interacted by π–π stacking interactions to construct a 3D framework. The luminescent properties of the compounds are discussed.
