Self-Assembly of a Copper(II)-Based Metallosupramolecular Hexagon

2008

The self-assembly of a 1:1 mixture of copper(II) ions and a rigid heteroditopic ligand L containing phen and terpy binding units gives rise in the solid state to green crystals of a hexanuclear metallamacrocycle 1. X-ray crystallography reveals that 1 consists of molecular hexagons of the grid-type family in which each metal ion is bound to two different ligands through the phen and terpy units, plus a weakly coordinated PF6 (-) anion in a highly distorted octahedral geometry. ES-MS studies of acetonitrile solutions of L and copper(II) in a 1:1 ratio show mixtures of polynuclear complexes in which trinuclear L3Cu3 species are predominant.

Bioinspired self-assembly of tyrosinase-modified silicatein and fluorescent core-shell silica spheres.

2014

Inspired by the intermolecular cross-linking of mussel foot proteins and their adhesive properties, tyrosinase has been used to modify recombinant silicatein. DOPA/DOPAquinone-mediated cross-linking and interfacial interactions enhanced both self-assembly of silicatein building blocks and templating of core–shell silica spheres, resulting in fluorescent biomimetic silicatein–silica hybrid mesofibers.

Crystalline self-assembly induced by aromatic edge-to-face interactions: the crystal structure of 2,6,6,10-tetrabenzyl-2,10-diaza-6-azonia[11]paracyc…

2002

The crystal structure of 2,6,6,10-tetrabenzyl-2,10-diaza-6-azonia[11]paracyclophane bromide reveals several intermolecular aromatic edge-to-face interactions which are important in the three-dimensional growing of the crystalline structure. Molecular dynamics and semiempirical studies indicate that the conformer found in the crystal is not the most stable in solution confirming the important role that edge-to-face interactions play in the structural arrangement found in the solid state.

Stamping of monomeric SAMs as a route to structured crystallization templates: patterned titania films.

2000

Gold-coated glass slides have be patterned by using self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of alkane thiols. Through the use of a special thiol terminated with a styrene monomer, microstructures of 5 to 10 microm width and 70 A height have been formed on the surface by graft polymerization of styrene. These patterned gold slides have then been used to template the precipitation of thin titania films from ethanolic solutions of titanium isopropoxide to create microstructured architectures in the film. Plasmon resonance spectra have established the presence of different steps in the process and have been used to follow the kinetics of the precipitation of titania on the surface. The structured TiO2 …

Hydrogen-Bonding Effects in Calix[4]arene Capsules

2000

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of self-assembling calix[4]arene based capsules 1a.1a and 1b.1b are described. These compounds feature four urea substituents at the upper rims and four secondary amide fragments at the lower rims that can participate in inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding in apolar solution. Communication between the calixarene rims in 1a, b influences the self-assembled cavity's size and shape. Specifically. dimerization results in a perfect cone conformation of the calixarene skeleton in 1a, b and stabilizes a seam of intramolecular amide C=O...H-N hydrogen bonds at the lower rim. This seam is cycloenantiomeric, with either clockwise or counterclock…

Fine-Tuning the Dimerization of Tetraureacalix[4]arenes

2010

Calix[4]arenes substituted by four urea residues at their wide rim form hydrogen-bonded homo- and heterodimeric capsules in apolar solvents. If urea groups are covalently connected to loops or substituted by bulky residues, the dimerization may be restricted to those pairs in which the loops do not overlap and for which the residues are small enough to pass the loops. In the present study, we describe the dimerization properties of tetraureas with one, two (adjacent or opposite), three, or four loops and those bearing (additionally) up to four residues of different size: a = tolyl, b = 3,5-di-tertbutylphenyl, c = 4-propyloxy-3,5-di-(tert-butylphenyl)phenyl, and d=4-[tris-(4-tert-butylphenyl…

Towards multifunctional magnetic systems through molecular-programmed self assembly of Re(IV) metalloligands

2015

Abstract The molecular-programmed approach based on the use as ligands of tailor-made metalloligands containing stable six-coordinate rhenium(IV) as paramagnetic centres is presented in this review article. A relatively large amount of spin density is covalent-delocalized away from the rhenium to the peripheral atoms of the ligands in the case of the Re(IV) metalloligands, as shown by polarized neutron diffraction experiments and density functional theory calculations. This feature accounts for the significant through space-magnetic interactions that occur in most of its mononuclear species and more interestingly it also explains the strengthening of the magnetic interactions in the heterom…
