Anion binding in aqueous media by a tetra-triazolium macrocycle.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three tetra-triazole macrocycles were synthesized in good yields by the copper(i)-catalysed cycloaddition of bis-triazole azides and bis-alkynes. One of these was alkylated to give a cyclic tetra-triazolium receptor, which complexes anions strongly in competitive DMSO-water mixtures. In 1 : 1 DMSO-water, the tetracationic receptor exhibits a preference for the larger halides, bromide and iodide, with all halides associating more strongly than the oxoanion, acetate. The sulfate dianion is complexed far more strongly than any of the monobasic anions (K(a) > 10(4) M(-1)). Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics simulations corroborate the experimentally determined anion binding selectivity trends.

A ferrocene redox-active triazolium macrocycle that binds and senses chloride
A ferrocene bis(triazole) macrocycle was synthesised in good yield by the Eglinton coupling of an acyclic bis(alkyne) precursor and characterised in the solid state by X-ray crystallography. Alkylation gives the corresponding triazolium macrocycle, which binds chloride and benzoate strongly in CD(3)CN solution through favourable charge-assisted C-H···anion interactions, as evidenced by (1)H NMR...
متن کاملTriazole- and triazolium-containing porphyrin-cages for optical anion sensing.
Triazole and triazolium groups have been integrated into a zinc(II) metalloporphyrin-based structural framework to produce two porphyrin-cages for anion sensing applications. UV/visible spectroscopic titration investigations reveal both host systems exhibit strong anion binding affinities, with the positively-charged triazolium-porphyrin cage capable of colorimetric sensing halides, fluoride an...
متن کاملSynthesis of triazolium-based mono- and tris-branched [1]rotaxanes using a molecular transporter of dibenzo-24-crown-8.
We report a diverted route to [1]rotaxane and tris-branched [1]rotaxane that are devoid of any efficient template and which could not be obtained by classical straightforward strategies. The described chemical route relies on the utilization of a "macrocycle transporter", which is able first to bind a macrocycle, second to link temporarily a triazolium-containing molecular axle, and third to de...
متن کامل1,3-Dimethyl-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-3-ium tetrachloridoferrate(III)
The asymmetric unit of the title salt, (C8H10N3)[FeCl4], contains one 1,3-dimethyl-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-3-ium cation and one tetra-chloridoferrate anion. The Fe(III) atom in the anion is tetra-hedrally coordinated by four Cl atoms. In the crystal, inter-actions are observed between the Cl atoms and the triazolium ring [Cl⋯centroid distances = 3.587 (3) and 3.866 (3) Å].
متن کاملAromatic sulfonate anion-induced pseudorotaxanes: environmentally benign synthesis, selectivity, and structural characterization.
Anion-induced molecular threading is an emerging strategy for generating mechanically interlocked molecular architectures. Herein, we report the preparation of two pseudorotaxane structures generated from aromatic sulfonate anions and a tetraimidazolium-containing macrocycle in organic media, as well as under environmentally benign aqueous conditions.
