Thermodynamics of sulfate anion binding by macrocyclic polyammonium receptors
2001
The interaction of SO42− with polyammonium cations derived from fourteen polyamines (5 polyazacycloalkanes, 2 polyazacyclophanes, 3 phenanthrolinacyclophanes, 2 dibenzenacyclophanes and 2 acyclic polyamines) in aqueous solution has been studied by means of potentiometric and microcalorimetric techniques. Only 1 : 1 receptor–anion complexes have been found in solution. Complexed species of considerable stability are formed, although the two acyclic polyamines (dimethylpentaethylenehexaamine and dimethylhexaethyleneheptaamine) and the smallest phenanthrolinacyclophane do not interact with the anion. The complexation reactions are endothermic, or almost athermic, and promoted by invariably fav…
Energy transfer between polyamine chains bearing naphthalene terminal units and k3[Co(CN)6]: An example of a molecular photoreactor
2002
Molecular photoreactors consisting of polyamine chains (receptors) bearing terminal naphthalene units (antennae) are described. The receptors are used to bind the substrate hexacyanocobaltate(III) and the antennae to transfer energy to the complex and thus promote a photoaquation reaction.
