چکیده
Purely hydrogen-bonded dimeric capsule formation through self-sorting of three different tripodal receptors, having similar size and bearing the same functionality, through dynamic self-assembly in polar solvents is reported.

Hydrogen-Bonded Hexameric Capsules of Resorcin[4]arene, Pyrogallol[4]arene and Octahydroxypyridine[4]arene are Abundant Structures in Organic Solvents: A View from Diffusion NMR
Hydrogen-bond molecular capsules have attracted much interest in the last decade. In the present paper, we wish to describe new insights obtained from diffusion NMR when studying the self-assembly of resorcin[4]arenes (2), pyrogallol[4]arenes (3) and octahydroxypyridine[4]arenes (4) in solution. These diffusion NMR studies demonstrate that compounds 2 and 3 self-assemble spontaneously into hexa...
متن کاملDynamic self-assembly of molecular capsules via solvent polarity controlled reversible binding of nitrate anions with C3 symmetric tripodal receptors.
A series of N-bridgehead tripodal receptors bearing amide functionality is reported which displays reversible binding of nitrate anions via solvent polarity controlled molecular capsule formation through a dynamic self-assembly process.
متن کاملGuest exchange in dimeric capsules of a tetraurea calix[4]arene in the solid state.
A solid powder of hydrogen bonded dimers of a tetraurea calix[4]arene is able to exchange the encapsulated guest in contact with the vapor of a second guest. The molecules of a guest-free powder obtained from a polar solvent cannot rearrange in the solid phase to form new guest-filled capsules under these conditions.
متن کاملHydrogen bonding vs. halogen bonding: the solvent decides.
Control of intermolecular interactions is integral to harnessing self-assembly in nature. Here we demonstrate that control of the competition between hydrogen bonds and halogen bonds, the two most highly studied directional intermolecular interactions, can be exerted by choice of solvent (polarity) to direct the self-assembly of co-crystals. Competitive co-crystal formation has been investigate...
متن کاملDisproportionation and self-sorting in molecular encapsulation
Self-assembled capsules are nanoscale structures made up of multiple synthetic subunits held together by weak intermolecular forces. They act as host structures that can completely surround small molecule guests of the appropriate size, shape and chemical surface. Like their biological counterparts, multimeric enzymes and receptors, the subunits of the capsules are generally identical, and lead...
