Clip[5]arenes: A new family of molecular clips

Here we report the design and syntheses of two new triptycene-based rigid acyclic C-shaped hosts, clip[5]arenes C[5]OH and C[5]ME, and the strong host–guest complexation between C[5]OH and an electron-poor bipyridinium salt, paraquat G. The K_a value for the host–guest complex C[5]OH???G was calculated to be (1.09?±?0.36)??×??10⁵?M^?1 in acetone by using a non-linear curve-fitting method based on the UV–vis absorption titration experiments. Furthermore, based on this new host–guest recognition motif, a novel pseudopolyrotaxane-like supramolecular structure was constructed with C[5]OH threaded on polyviologen polymer VP-10.     

葫芦脲与主链聚紫精的超分子自组装制备准聚轮烷及其性质研究

通过葫芦[6]脲(CB[6])与五亚甲基聚紫精(PPeV)在水溶液中于室温下进行超分子组装,得到一种新型的准聚轮烷(PPeVCB),通过¹HNMR、元素分析、IR和X射线粉末衍射(XRD)对其结构进行了表征,证实CB[6]位于PPeV的脂肪链上,并通过非共价键与PPeV结合,且CB[6]与PPeV重复单元的结合摩尔比为1∶1;通过热重分析(TGA)、紫外-可见吸收(UV-Vis)和化学还原等方法对其性质进行了研究,证实了准聚轮烷3比相应的聚合物热稳定性更高、UV-Vis吸收和氧化能力更强.
