Selective anion sensing based on tetra-amide calix[6]arene derivatives in solution and immobilized on gold surfaces via self-assembled monolayers

Two anion receptors, 1 and 2, based on the calix[6]crown-4 architecture were synthesized and characterized by NMR (1H, 13C, COSY), UV-vis, and MALDI-MS. 1H NMR measurements demonstrate that receptors 1 and 2 exhibit the highest binding affinity for fluoride ions compared to other anions including Cl-, Br-, NO3-, HSO4-, H2PO4-, and AcO-. The binding constants of 1 with F- and AcO- are 326 (+/-32) and 238 (+/-23) M-1, whereas those of 2 with F- and AcO- are 222 (+/-25) and 176 (+/-21) M-1. The fluorescent titration of 2 with various anions such as Cl-, Br-, NO3-, HSO4-, and H2PO4- led to essentially no change in excimer emission and a slight enhancement of monomer emission. In contrast, a dramatic change was observed in the fluorescence spectra upon the addition of F- and AcO- to 2. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 1 were formed on gold surfaces and characterized by reductive desorption and other techniques. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to monitor anion recognition by the SAM-modified gold electrodes. The gold electrodes modified by SAMs of 1, upon binding with the F- anion, exhibit a dramatic increase in charge-transfer resistance (Rct) values. This is due to the repulsion between the negatively charged electrode surfaces and the negatively charged Fe(CN)6(3-/4-) redox probe in the electrolyte solution. In contrast, smaller increases in Rct values were observed in the cases of other monovalent anions investigated.     

Thermodynamic origin of hofmeister ion effects

Quantitative interpretation and prediction of Hofmeister ion effects on protein processes, including folding and crystallization, have been elusive goals of a century of research. Here, a quantitative thermodynamic analysis, developed to treat noncoulombic interactions of solutes with biopolymer surface and recently extended to analyze the effects of Hofmeister salts on the surface tension of water, is applied to literature solubility data for small hydrocarbons and model peptides. This analysis allows us to obtain a minimum estimate of the hydration b1 (H2O A(-2)), of hydrocarbon surface and partition coefficients Kp, characterizing the distribution of salts and salt ions between this hydration water and bulk water. Assuming that Na+ and SO4(2-) ions of Na2SO4 (the salt giving the largest reduction in hydrocarbon solubility as well as the largest increase in surface tension) are fully excluded from the hydration water at hydrocarbon surface, we obtain the same b1 as for air-water surface (approximately 0.18 H2O A(-2)). Rank orders of cation and anion partition coefficients for nonpolar surface follow the Hofmeister series for protein processes, but are strongly offset for cations in the direction of exclusion (preferential hydration). By applying a coarse-grained decomposition of water accessible surface area (ASA) into nonpolar, polar amide, and other polar surface and the same hydration b1 to interpret peptide solubility increments, we determine salt partition coefficients for amide surface. These partition coefficients are separated into single-ion contributions based on the observation that both Cl- and Na+ (also K+) occupy neutral positions in the middle of the anion and cation Hofmeister series for protein folding. Independent of this assignment, we find that all cations investigated are strongly accumulated at amide surface while most anions are excluded. Cation and anion effects are independent and additive, allowing successful prediction of Hofmeister salt effects on micelle formation and other processes from structural information (ASA).     

Reactions of POxCly- ions with H and H2 from 298 to 500 K

Rate constants and product branching ratios for POxCly- ions reacting with H and H2 were measured in a selected ion flow tube (SIFT) from 298 to 500 K. PO2Cl-, PO2Cl2-, POCl2-, and POCl3- were all unreactive with H2, having a rate constant with an upper limit of <5 x 10(-12) cm3 s(-1). PO2Cl2- did not react with H atoms either, having a similar rate constant limit of <5 x 10(-12) cm3 s(-1). The rate constants for PO2Cl-, POCl2-, and POCl3- reacting with H showed no temperature dependence over the limited range of 298-500 K and were approximately 10-20% of the collision rate constant. Cl abstraction by H to form HCl was the predominant product channel for PO2Cl-, POCl2-, and POCl3-, with a small amount of Cl- observed from POCl2- + H. Reactions of O2 and O3 with the POCl- products ions from the reaction of POCl2- + H were observed to yield predominantly PO3- and PO2-, respectively. POCl- reacted with O2 and O3 with rate constants of 8.9 +/- 1.1 x 10(-11) and 5.2 +/- 3.3 x 10(-10) cm3 s(-1), respectively. No associative electron detachment in the reactions with H atoms was observed with any of the reactant ions; however, detachment was observed with a PO- secondary product ion at high H atom concentrations. Results of new G3 theoretical calculations of optimized geometries and energies for the products observed are discussed.

Homo- and hetero-dinuclear anion complexes

The tripodal system 4, in which urea fragments are appended to the three terminal amine nitrogen atoms of a tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) subunit, includes a Cu(II) ion and two anions X-, according to a cascade mechanism through three well defined stepwise equilibria in a DMSO solution. The first anion X- (halide, N3-, NCS-, NO2-, H2PO4-) seeks the Cu(II) centre coordinated by the tren moiety; the second anion X- interacts with the trisurea cavity, but this occurs only if the stronger H-bond acceptors, such as N3- and H2PO4-, are used. Binding of the second X- ion is favoured by the preorganising effect exerted by the metal and disfavoured by the steric and electrostatic repulsions between the anions. Under the appropriate conditions, heterodinuclear complexes of formula [Cu(II)(4)(Cl)(H2PO4)] can be obtained in solution, in which Cl- is bound to the metal centre and H2PO4- interacts with the trisurea compartment.     

Anion transfer at a micro-water/1,2-dichloroethane interface facilitated by beta-octafluoro-meso-octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole

The facilitated transfer of four hydrophilic anions, i.e., Cl-, Br-, NO2-, and CH3CO2-, at the micro-water/1,2-dichloroethane interface supported at the tip of a micropipet has been observed successfully using beta-octafluoro-meso-octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole 2 as the receptor. We have also shown for the first time that the dynamics of this process can be studied by micropipet voltammetry. The standard kinetic rate constants (kdegrees) for facilitated anion transfer at such an interface were determined to be (2.11 +/- 0.90) x 10(-2) and (0.75 +/- 0.50) x 10(-2) cm/s in the case of Cl- and CH3CO2-, respectively. These values are much smaller than those associated with the facilitated transfer of analogous alkali metal ions. This difference is thought to reflect a number of underlying factors, including the higher hydration of anions as compared to similar sized cations. Studies such as these are expected to be useful in understanding the mechanism of anion transport at soft interfaces and for the design of yet-improved anion receptors and carriers.     

Liquid-liquid distribution of ion-associates of dichlorocuprate(I) with quaternary ammonium counter-ions

The dichlorocuprate(I) anion CuCl(-)(2) can be extracted as its ion-associates Q(+).CuCl(-)(2) with quaternary ammonium cations (Q(+)) into chloroform. The extraction constants K(ex) have been determined, and the log K(ex) values found for the various counter-ions used are 1.93 for (C(3)H(7))(4)N(+), 4.10 for (C(4)H(9))(4)N(+), 6.57 for (C(5)H(11))(4)N(+), 1.57 for C(8)H(17)N(+) (CH(3))(3), 2.83 for C(10)H(21)N(+) (CH(3))(3) 4.12 for C(12)H(25)N(+) (CH(3))(3) and 5.21 for C(14)H(29)N(+)(CH(3))(3), respectively. A linear relationship was found between log K(ex) and the total number of carbon atoms in Q(+); from the slope of the line, the contribution of a methylene group to log K(ex) was calculated to be 0.59. The extractability with alkyltrimethylammonium cations was larger than that with symmetrical tetra-alkylammonium cations and the difference in log K(ex) for two cations (one of each type) with the same number of carbon atoms was about 0.4. From the extraction constants obtained, the extractability of CuCl(-)(2) was found to lie between that of ReO(-)(4) and ClO(-)(4).     

Dipyrrolyldiketone difluoroboron complexes: novel anion sensors with C-H...X- interactions

1,3-Dipyrrolyl-1,3-propanediones, synthesized from pyrroles and malonyl chloride, form BF2 complexes, which represent a new class of naked-eye sensors for halide and oxoanions. The association mode for the interactions of both the pyrrolyl NH and bridging CH protons with anions was confirmed by 1H NMR chemical shifts in CD2Cl2 and supported by theoretical studies. The binding constants (Ka) were estimated as 8.1x10(4), 2.0x10(3), 3.3x10(2), 1.3x10(4), and 80 M(-1) for F-, Cl-, Br-, H2PO4(-), and HSO4(-) by UV/Vis absorption spectral changes in CH2Cl2. Augmentation of Ka compared with dipyrrolylquinoxaline for H2PO4(-) is much larger than those for other anions. Contrary to other anions, F- quenches the emission almost completely, which was detected by the fluorescence spectrum as well as the naked-eye. In the case of the chloride anion complex, the formation of Cl(-)-bridged 1D networks, in which anion is associated with two BF2 complexes, is observed in the solid state.

Transport of alkali halides through a liquid organic membrane containing a ditopic salt-binding receptor

A ditopic receptor is shown to have an impressive ability to recognize and extract the ion pairs of various alkali halides into organic solution. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that the salts are bound in the solid state as contact ion pairs. Transport experiments, using a supported liquid membrane and high salt concentration in the source phase, show that the ditopic receptor can transport alkali halide salts up to 10-fold faster than a monotopic cation or anion receptor and 2-fold faster than a binary mixture of cation and anion receptors. All transport systems exhibit the same qualitative order of ion selectivity; that is, for a constant anion, the cation selectivity order is K+ > Na+ > Li+, and for a constant cation, the anion transport selectivity order is I- > Br- > Cl-. The data suggest that with a ditopic receptor, the polarity of the receptor-salt complex can be lowered if the salt is bound as an associated ion pair, which leads to a faster diffusion through the membrane and a higher maximal flux.     

Hydrogen-bond forming ionophore for highly efficient transport of phosphate anions across the nitrobenzene-water interface

Thiourea-based hydrogen-bond forming ionophore 2, alpha,alpha'-bis(N'-p-nitrophenylthioureylene)-m-xylene, is synthesized and investigated by using ion transfer polarography for the facilitated transfers of H2PO4-, HPO42- and Cl- across the nitrobenzene-water interface. Bis-thiourea 2 has a significant ability to assist H2PO4- transfer across the interface whereas its counterpart, N-(p-nitrophenyl)-N'-propylthiourea (ionophore 3), cannot facilitate the transfer of this hydrophilic anion. The H2PO4- transfer assisted by 2 is based on the formation of a 2:1 complex between H2PO4- and ionophore, and the transfer reaction is more stable by over -12 kJ mol(-1) than the case of 3. The stabilization of the H2PO4- transfer for 2 is even stronger by -11 kJ mol(-1) than that for bis-thiourea 1, 2,7-di-t-butyl-4,5-bis(N'-butylthioureylene)-9,9-dimethylxanthene, which forms a 1:1 complex through the formation of four hydrogen bonds. Bis-thiourea 2 is also able to facilitate transfers of HPO42- and Cl- by the formation of 1:1 complex. As compared to bis-thiourea 1, HPO42- transfer by 2 is significantly stabilized by -27 to -31 kJ mol(-1) while the stabilization of the Cl- transfer is relatively moderate (-6.1 kJ mol(-1)). These binding properties of bis-thiourea 2 are discussed for the design of phosphate-selective ionophores for use in two-phase distribution systems such as ion-selective electrodes.

Quantitive binding constants of H(+)-selective chromoionophores and anion ionophores in solvent polymeric sensing membranes

The binding properties of neutral or charged chromoionophores and anion ionophores in solvent polymeric membranes were characterized in situ by the so-called sandwich membrane method. Acidity constants (pK(a)) of eight chromoionophores (ETH 5294, ETH 2439, ETH 5350, ETH 5418, ETH 5315, ETH 7061, ETH 7075, ETH 2412) were measured in bis(2-ethylhexyl)sebacate (DOS) and o-nitrophenyloctylether (NPOE) plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membranes commonly used in optical and potentiometric ion sensors. The pK(a) values of all chromoionophores in DOS membranes are by 2-3 orders of magnitude smaller than in NPOE membranes. The weak alkali metal ion binding properties with neutral H(+)-chromoionophore and anion binding with electrically charged chromoionophores were also studied quantitatively. The complex formation constants of the commercially available Co(III)cobyrinate nitrite ionophore and the organomercury chloride ionophore, ETH 9009, were also measured. The very low stability constant observed for ETH 9009 (logbeta(2)=3.60+/-0.03 in PVC-DOS and 3.61+/-0.01 in PVC-NPOE) was explained by the decomposition of the ionophore in contact with chloride samples. On the other hand, the electrically charged nitrite ionophore showed strong complexation with nitrite ions, with logbeta=10.58 and 10.59 in DOS and NPOE membranes, respectively. In contrast to cation ionophores, the stability constant of the NO(2)(-) ionophore does not change with different plasticizers.     

Interaction between biphenols and anions: selective receptor for dihydrogenphosphate

Biphenol was shown to bind dihydrogenphosphate (H2PO4-) selectively over various other anions (MeCO2-, Cl-, Br-, I-, NO3-, HSO4-). The highly selectivity of biphenol toward dihydrogenphosphate is explained in terms of the basicity and shape of the guest anion.     

New chromogenic and fluorescent probes for anion detection: formation of a [2 + 2] supramolecular complex on addition of fluoride with positive homotropic cooperativity

Two new chromogenic and fluorescent probes for anions have been designed, synthesized, and characterized. These probes contain multiple hydrogen bonding donors including hydrazine, hydrazone, and hydroxyl functional groups for potential anion interacting sites. Despite the possible flexible structural framework due to the presence of sp3 carbon linkage, X-ray structure analysis of probe 2 displayed an essentially planar conformation in the solid state owing to strong crystal packing interactions comprising a combination of favorable pi-pi stacking effect and hydrogen bonding to cocrystallized CH3OH molecules. Both probes 1 and 2 display orange color in DMSO solution and show fairly weak fluorescence at room temperature. Binding studies revealed that both probes 1 and 2 show noticeable colorimetric and fluorescent responses only to F-, OAc-, and H2PO4- among the nine anions tested (F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, OAc-, H2PO4-, HSO4-, ClO4-, and NO3-). The general trend of the sensitivity to anions follows the order of F- > OAc- > H2PO4- > Cl- > Br- approximately I- approximately HSO4- approximately ClO4- approximately NO3-. A 1:2 (probe to anion) binding stoichiometry was found for probe 1 with OAc- and H2PO4- and probe 2 with F-, OAc-, and H2PO4-. The binding isotherm of probe 1 to F- was found to be complicated with apparent multiple equilibria occurring in solution. The formation of an aggregated supramolecular complex upon addition of fluoride is proposed to rationalize the observed optical responses and is supported by ESI mass spectrometry and pulsed-field gradient NMR spectroscopy. Data analysis suggests that the binding of probe 1 to F- shows positive homotropic cooperativity.     

Preparation of N,N'-bisethoxyethane[12]amideferrocenophane and its application in anion recognition

Novel N,N'-bisethoxyethane[12]amideferrocenophane has been synthesized by a condensation reaction and characterized by (1)H NMR and mass spectrum. The anion recognition properties of the compound are evaluated via (1)H NMR, FT-IR, and electrochemical measurement. It is found that N,N'-bisethoxyethane[12]amideferrocenophane exhibits remarkable electrochemical response to H(2)PO(4-) anion in CH(2)C(l2) or CH(3)CN solution, and response to anions can also be observed in CH(3)CN solution containing up to 15% water. Binding constants between the compound and HSO(4-) in different solutions have been determined by UV-vis spectrum titration experiments. The results indicate that the compound shows a selective recognition trend of H(2)PO(4-) > HSO(4-) (F(-)) > Br(-).     

Anion selectivity in zwitterionic amide-functionalised metal salt extractants

Amide-functionalised salen ligands capable of extracting metal salts have been synthesised and characterised. Single-crystal X-ray structure determinations of complexes of NiSO4, [Ni(L)(SO4)], confirm that the ionophores are in a zwitterionic form with Ni(II) bound in the deprotonated salen moiety and the SO4(2-) ion associated with protonated pendant N'-amidopiperazine groups. Treatment of [Ni(L)(SO4)] with base removes the protons from the pendant amido-amine group resulting in loss of the SO4(2-) ion and formation of metal-only complexes of type [Ni(L-2H)], which have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Three of the ligands with solubilities suitable for solvent extraction studies show loading and stripping pH-profiles that are suitable for the recovery of CuSO4 or CuCl2 from industrial leach solutions. The copper-only complexes, [Cu(L-2H)], are selective for Cl- over SO4(2-) in both solvent extraction and bulk liquid membrane transport experiments and were found to bind Cl- in two steps via the formation of a 1:1:1 [Cu(L-H)Cl] assembly, followed by a 1:1:2 [Cu(L)Cl2] assembly as the pH of the aqueous phase is lowered. The anion transport selectivity was evaluated for a number of other mono-charged anions and interestingly the ligands were found to display a preference for the Br- ion. To probe the influence of the Hofmeister bias on the selectivity of anion complexation, single-phase potentiometric titration experiments were employed to investigate the binding of SO4(2-) and Cl- by one of the copper only complexes, [Cu(L-2H)] in 95 %/5 % MeOH/water. Under these conditions selectivity was reversed (SO4(2-)>Cl-) confirming that the Hofmeister bias, which reflects the relative hydration energies of the anions, dominates the selectivity of anion extraction from aqueous media into CHCl3.     

Aryl-substituted C3-bridged oligopyrroles as anion receptors for formation of supramolecular organogels

BF2 complexes of aryl-substituted dipyrrolyldiketones (3a-c, 5a-d) have been synthesized by the condensation of arylpyrroles obtained by Suzuki cross-coupling reactions with malonyl chloride, followed by treatment with BF3.OEt2. The binding constants (Ka11) of the BF2 complexes (3a-c) for various anions (Cl-, Br-, CH3CO2-, H2PO4-, and HSO4-) in CH2Cl2 decrease in the order Ph (3a) > o-tolyl (3b) > 2,6-Me2Ph (3c), possibly because of differences in the planarity and the number of interacting o-CH units at the binding sites. Aryl-substituted receptors exhibit a [1+1] binding mode with Cl- as well as a [2+1] binding mode under conditions of high concentration and low temperature, as suggested by 1H NMR studies in CD2Cl2. These receptors, especially phenyl-substituted (3a) and o-tolyl (3b), exhibit drastic colorimetric and fluorescent changes in the presence of F- due to extended pi-conjugation, as compared to 2,6-dimethylphenyl (3c) and the previously reported derivatives (1a-c). Aryl-substitution at the alpha-positions of pyrrole is an excellent means for the introduction of various substituents at the periphery of the anion receptors. For example, derivatives with long alkoxy chains at 3,4,5-positions of the substituent aryl rings (5b-d) afford emissive gel structures in hydrocarbon solvents, such as octane, based on the stacking of slipped H- and J-aggregates at the core pi-plane. The structural organization of the supramolecular gels was investigated by AFM, SEM, and XRD measurements as well as by considering the solid-state packing of crystalline derivatives. The slow transformation of the gel to the solution phase by the addition of various anions, possibly except for F-, is correlated with the unique properties of these acyclic receptors where inversions of pyrrole rings are required for anion binding. Boron complexes of 1,3-dipyrrolyl-1,3-propanediones with aryl-substituents, as a new class of acyclic anion receptors, have shown efficient binding due to the interacting o-CH units and, in the case of the derivative with long aliphatic chains, afforded the emissive supramolecular organogels using stacking of core pi-planes controlled by external chemical stimuli.     

(Thio)ureido anion receptors based on a 1,3-alternate oxacalix[2]arene[2]pyrimidine scaffold

In pursuit of highly preorganized macrocyclic host molecules for the complexation of anions, a series of oxacalix[2]arene[2]pyrimidine-based bis(thio)ureido receptors were synthesized and fully characterized. The pincer-like 1,3-alternate conformation of the oxacalix[4]arene scaffold, essential for an efficient host-guest interaction, was visualized by single-crystal X-ray analysis and supported by variable-temperature NMR studies. The anion binding properties of the receptors were evaluated via (1)H NMR titration experiments, showing intermolecular interactions with H(2)PO(4)(-), AcO(-), BzO(-), and Cl(-) ions. The host molecule bearing 4-nitrophenyl substituents on the bisurea binding pocket showed association constants in the range of 200-400 M(-1) in the strongly competitive solvent mixture of DMSO/0.5% H(2)O.
