The sequence of a glycan and its topology of presentation team up to determine the specificity and selectivity of recognition by saccharide receptors (lectins). Structure–activity analysis would be furthered if the glycan part of a glycocluster could be efficiently elaborated in situ while keeping all other parameters constant. By using a bacterial α2,6-sialyltransferase and a small library of bi- to tetravalent glycoclusters, we illustrate the complete conversion of scaffold-presented lactoside units into two different sialylated ligands based on N-acetyl/glycolyl-neuraminic acid incorporation. We assess the ensuing effect on their bioactivity for a plant toxin, and present an analysis of the noncovalent substrate binding contacts that the added sialic acid moiety makes to the lectin. Enzymatic diversification of a scaffold-presented glycan can thus be brought to completion in situ, offering a versatile perspective for rational glycocluster engineering.
2-(1,2,3-Triazol-4-yl)pyridine-containing ethynylarenes as selective 'turn-on' fluorescent chemosensors for Ni(II)

A series of ethynylarene compounds containing 2-(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine chelating units were studied as fluorescent chemosensors for metal cations in aqueous solution. Analogs possessing two chelating units bridged by either 1,4-diethynylphenyl or 2,7-diethynylnaphthyl subunits displayed large hypsochromic shifts coupled with signal intensification when exposed to increasing concentrations of Ni(II), a unique response among 22 metal cation analytes. This response was shown to be reversible, and is proposed to derive from disruption of aggregate formation upon Ni(II) binding at the peripheral chelating units.

Being aimed at a new type of porous solids, a moduled design strategy of molecular tectons, making use of the conjugation between a shape defined artificial backbone and the bioinspired molecular fragments of nucleobases or nucleobase derivatives as functional end-caps, has been developed. This led to the formation of the new hybrid compounds 1-13 of linear and tetrahedral geometry, containing uracil, adenine, adenosine, guanosine and its acylated analogs as the sticky end-cap sites. The compounds were synthesized from a halogen or ethynyl substituted nucleobase component and the corresponding ethynylated spacer unit following a metal assisted coupling process as the key reaction step. X-Ray crystal structure analysis demonstrates that the parent compound 1 is a solvent complex with DMSO (1:2), showing the DMSO molecules incorporated in a hydrogen bonded layer structure. Specific dependencies of the fluorescence properties of the new compounds in solution on the structure of the molecules are reported. A selection of solid compounds has been studied in respect of their ability to adsorb organic vapours. They revealed significant differences both in the sorption capacity and the selectivity towards particular solvent vapours.
