报道了一类新型的α-ωn型"线性-超支化"超分子嵌段共聚物.分别通过可控阴离子开环多支化聚合方法(ROMBP)和可逆加成-断裂链转移聚合方法(RAFT)合成了含有一个β-环糊精基团的亲水超支化缩水甘油醚(CD-g-HPG)和含有一个偶氮苯基团的疏水线性聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA-AZO).两者可以通过β-环糊精和偶氮苯基团之间的主客体识别作用形成两亲性线性-超支化超分子嵌段共聚物PMMA-b-HPG.由于线性PMMA-AZO残留有RAFT聚合时链转移剂中的三硫代酯结构,超分子聚合物PMMA-b-HPG可以通过三硫代酯与金形成的硫-金键(S-Au)对金表面进行修饰形成自组装单分子层(SAM).修饰后的金表面呈现出光控的可逆亲疏水性能.在紫外光下,由于β-环糊精/偶氮苯之间的主客体识别作用被破坏,亲水的CD-g-HPG从表面脱离,表面变为疏水;在可见光下,如果重新将金片浸泡在CD-g-HPG溶液中,金表面的亲水性可以恢复.

Supramolecular host-guest interaction for labeling and detection of cellular biomarkers

pH- and thermosensitive supramolecular assembling system: rapidly responsive properties of beta-cyclodextrin-conjugated poly(epsilon-lysine)

beta-Cyclodextrin-conjugated poly(epsilon-lysine) (beta-CDPL) was synthesized as a novel polymeric host for constructing a smart supramolecular assembling system. Systematic studies on the inclusion complexation between the polymeric host with an alpha- or beta-CD cavity and a model guest molecule provided evidence that dual cooperative interactions, specific host-guest interaction and intermolecular ionic interaction, played a dominant role in leading to a fast aggregation phenomenon. In addition, a rapid phase transition induced by the supramolecular assembly was observed reversibly in response to a small change in pH or temperature.

A Rapidly Self‐Healing Supramolecular Polymer Hydrogel with Photostimulated Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence Responsiveness

Development of self‐healing and photostimulated luminescent supramolecular polymeric materials is important for artificial soft materials. A supramolecular polymeric hydrogel is reported based on the host–guest recognition between a β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) host polymer (poly‐β‐CD) and an α‐bromonaphthalene (α‐BrNp) polymer (poly‐BrNp) without any additional gelator, which can self‐heal within only about one minute under ambient atmosphere without any additive. This supramolecular polymer system can be excited to engender room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) signals based on the fact that the inclusion of β‐CD macrocycle with α‐BrNp moiety is able to induce RTP emission (CD‐RTP). The RTP signal can be adjusted reversibly by competitive complexation of β‐CD with azobenzene moiety under specific irradiation by introducing another azobenzene guest polymer (poly‐Azo).     

Physicochemical perspective of cyclodextrin nano and microaggregates

'Chemistry beyond the molecule' is the nickname for supramolecular chemistry. This branch of study is based on molecular recognition that is host-guest chemistry. A number of potential hosts have been defined and applied in scores of studies. Among all potential hosts, cyclodextrins occupy a high position due to their characteristic solubilisation capability and biocompatibility. In the present article we are revisiting the host-guest aspects of cyclodextrins from a physicochemical perspective. We present details of formation and applications of cyclodextrin nanoaggregates induced by guest molecules, the concerned thermodynamics behind the process and also the effect of concentration of the guest molecules on the morphology of the aggregates. This article reviews the topic mainly from the spectroscopic point of view.     

Recent progress on pure organic room temperature phosphorescence materials based on host-guest interactions

The inclusion of specific organic phosphorescent guest molecules by the host molecules can reduce the nonradiative transitions and engender room temperature phosphorescence emission.     

Recent progress on pure organic room temperature phosphorescence materials based on host-guest interactions

Pure organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) has been attracting a lot interest recently. So far, many strategies have succeeded in achieving efficient organic RTP materials by increasing the rate of intersystem crossing (ISC) and suppressing non-radiative transitions. In supramolecular chemistry, the control and regulation of molecular recognition based on the role of the host and guest in supramolecular polymers matrix, has attracted much attention. Recently, researchers have successfully achieved room temperature phosphorescence of pure organic complexes through host-guest interactions. The host molecule specifically includes the phosphorescent guest to reduce non-radiative transitions and enhance room temperature phosphorescence emission. This review aims to describe the developments and achievements of pure organic room temperature phosphorescence systems through the mechanism of host-guest interactions in recent years, and demonstrates the exploration and pursuit of phosphorescent materials of researchers in different fields.     

Molecular recognition in cyclodextrin complexes of amino acid derivatives. 1. Crystallographic studies of beta-cyclodextrin complexes with N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester and N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine amide pseudopeptides

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are widely utilized in studies of chiral and molecular recognition. By changing the functionality of the guest molecule, the effect of such changes on recognition by the host CD molecule can be examined. We report crystal structure determinations for two nearly isomorphous complexes of phenylalanine derivatives: beta-CD/N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester and beta-CD/N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine amide. The complexes crystallize as hydrated head-to-head host dimers with two included guest molecules in space group P1. The crystal packing is such that it presents a nonconstraining hydrophobic pocket adjacent to a hydrophilic region, where potential hydrogen-bonding interactions with hydroxyl groups of neighboring cyclodextrin molecules and waters of hydration can occur. The two host molecules display very similar conformations; only a few of the primary hydroxyl groups are conformationally disordered. There are a number of changes in the location of water of hydration molecules, some of which are the result of different hydrogen-bonding interactions. For the different guest molecules, similar modes of penetration are observed in the CD torus; however, there is a 0.985-A shift in the position of the guest molecules in the host torus, which takes place without changing the hydrophobic interactions displayed by the phenyl side chains. This observation and the thermal motion of the guest molecules in the ester complex are taken as evidence that complex binding forces are weak. The pseudopeptides experience a significant degree of flexibility in the crystalline environment provided by CD dimers. Conformational differences of the pseudopeptide backbones and the presence of disordered water molecules in the host-guest interface provide examples of different hydrogen-bonding schemes of similar potential energy. The crystal system presents an opportunity to establish a database of molecular interactions for small peptides and peptide analogues with waters of hydration and functional groups in nonconstraining binding environments.     

Control of the stoichiometry in host-guest complexation by redox chemistry of guests: inclusion of methylviologen in cucurbit[8]uril

The binding stoichiometry of a host-guest complex can be effectively controlled by the redox chemistry of the guest: a 1:1 inclusion complex of methylviologen dication (MV2+) in cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) converts completely and reversibly to a 2:1 inclusion complex of cation radical (MV+.) in CB[8] upon the reduction of the guest.     

In silico engineering of tailored ink-binding ability at molecular printboards.

Molecular recognition between guest ink molecules and beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) cavities at self-assembled monolayers provides a molecular printboard for nanopatterning applications. We recently used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to describe the specificity of ink-printboard binding and here extend the simulations to include charged cyclodextrin hosts, necessary to broaden the chemistry of molecular printboards and bind charged inks such as the ferrocenium cation. Shifting to high pH, or alternatively grafting a charged sidearm onto beta-CD, created three distinct types of anionic beta-CD cavity and we used electronic structure calculations and MD simulations to measure host-guest charge transfer and binding strengths. We find that steric recognition of uncharged organic molecules is retained at the charged printboards, and that improved guest-host electrostatic contacts can strengthen binding of larger inks while penalising small inks, enhancing the level of discrimination. A prudent choice of complementary host-guest shape and charge states thus provides a means of tuning both ink binding strength and specificity at molecular printboards.
