Ciprofloxacin carrier systems based on hectorite/halloysite hybrid hydrogels for potential wound healing applications
2021
The design of multifunctional nanomaterials which can help the healing processes of skin, preventing the bacterial infections, is crucial for the development of suitable therapy for the treatment of chronic lesions. The use of clay minerals in wound healing applications is well documented since the prehistoric period and offers several advantages due to their intrinsic properties. Herein, we report the development of ciprofloxacin carrier systems based on hectorite/halloysite (Ht/Hal) hybrid hydrogels for potential wound healing applications. To achieve this objective firstly the ciprofloxacin molecules were loaded onto Hal by a supramolecular and covalent approach. The so obtained fillers …
Geminal Imidazolium Salts: A new Class of Gelators
2012
The gelling behavior of some geminal diimidazolium salts was investigated in solvents differing in polarity and hydrogen bond donor ability. The used salts, namely the 3,3'-di-n-decyl-1,1'(1,4-phenylenedimethylene)diimidazolium dibromide [p-Xyl-(decim)(2)][Br](2) (1), the 3,3'-di-n-dodecyl-1,1'(1,4-phenylenedimethylene)diimidazolium dibromide [p-Xyl-(dodecim)(2)][Br](2) (2), and the 3,3'-di-n-dodecyl-1,1'(1,4-phenylenedimethylene)diimidazolium ditetrafluoroborate [p-Xyl-(dodecim)(2)][BF(4)](2) (3), differ in the alkyl chain length and in the anion properties, such as size, shape, and coordination ability. In all cases in which gelation process was observed, the obtained gels were characteri…
Correlating Solution‐ and Solid‐State Structures of Conformationally Flexible Resorcinarenes: Significance of a Sulfonyl Group in Intramolecular Self…
2020
Abstract The synthesis of tetramethoxyresorcinarene podands bearing p‐toluene arms connected by ‐SO3‐ (1) and ‐CH2O‐ (2) linkers is presented herein. In the solid state, the resorcinarene podand 1 forms an intramolecular self‐inclusion complex with the pendant p‐toluene group of a podand arm, whereas the resorcinarene podand 2 does not show self‐inclusion. The conformations of the flexible resorcinarene podands in solution were investigated by variable‐temperature experiments using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques as well as by computational methods, including a conformational search and subsequent DFT optimisation of representative structures. The 1H NMR spectra of 1 and 2 at room te…
On the Structure and Chiral Aggregation of Liquid Crystalline Star‐Shaped Triazines H‐Bonded to Benzoic Acids
2020
The ability of a star-shaped tris(triazolyl)triazine derivative to hierarchically build supramolecular chiral columnar organizations through the formation of H-bonded complexes with benzoic acids was studied from a theoretical and experimental point of view. The combined study has been done at three different levels including the study of the structure of the triazine core, the association with benzoic acids in stoichiometry 1:3, and the assembly of 1:3 complexes in helical aggregates. Although the star-shaped triazine core crystallizes in a non-C3 conformation, the C3 -symmetric conformation is theoretically predicted to be more stable and gives rise to a favorable C3 supramolecular 1:3 co…
Self-assembled dimers with supramolecular chirality
2003
The possibilities to form dimeric capsules with supramolecular chirality from tetraurea calix[4]arenes composed of two different phenolic urea units are discussed in general and demonstrated experimentally for various selected examples.
Supramolecular chirality and symmetry breaking of fluoride complexes of achiral foldamers
2017
Aromatic oligoamide foldamers containing a central pyridine-2,6-dicarbonyl motif are partially preorganized to favor the binding of fluoride anions. In the solid state, the foldamer-fluoride complexes form achiral, polar and chiral crystal structures depending on the chemical structure of the foldamer. One of the six foldamers studied here, a C2v symmetrical foldamer (1), formed repeatedly chiral crystal structures when crystallized with tetra-butylammonium fluoride, showing supramolecular bulk chirality and symmetry breaking in crystallization.

Supramolecular polymer chemistry meets computational chemistry: theoretical simulations on advanced self-assembling chiral materials
2018
AbstractComputational chemistry has gained an important role as a key tool to help rationalize the self-assembly of organic building blocks decorated with supramolecular recognition motifs. The adv...
