We studied a series of dynamic weak-link approach (WLA) complexes that can be shuttled between two immiscible solvents and switched between two structural states via ion exchange. Here, we established that hydrophobic anions transfer cationic, amphiphilic complexes from the aqueous phase to the organic phase, while a chloride source reverses the process. As a result of the dynamic metal coordination properties of WLA complexes, the denticity of these complexes (mono- to bi-) can be modulated as they partition into different phases. In addition, we discovered that heteroligated complexes bearing ligands of different donor strengths preferentially rearrange into two homoligated complexes that are phase-partitioned to maximize the number of stronger coordination bonds. This behavior is not observed in systems with one solvent, highlighting the dynamic and stimuli-responsive nature of hemilabile ligands in a multiphasic solvent environment. Taken together, this work shows that the highly reconfigurable WLA modality can enable the design of biphasic reaction networks or chemical separations driven by straightforward salt metathesis reactions.

A large number of para-substituted benzene thiols and the corresponding disulfides were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and IR spectroscopies. Geometrics of all sixteen thiols and fourteen disulfide compounds were optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level, while the electronic structure and the 13C isotropic shifts were calculated by ab initio Hartree-Fock method coupled with the Gauge-Independent Atomic Orbital (GIAO) algorithm and a 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. The calculated 13C NMR isotropic shifts exhibit admirable agreement (δ rmsd ～4.6 ppm) with the experimental data. The chemical shift of para-substituted carbon showed a linear correlation with Hammett constants (σp and σn+). Using this methodology the σp+ constants for the dendritic ligands have been estimated to be 0.25 and 0.24 for 2(n) and 2(o), respectively. In addition, the NBO charges on the sulfur atoms shows a latent response with the σp+ parameter. The atomic charge on the thiophenolato sulfur is invariant with the electron withdrawing ability of the substituents, however, the charge increases with increasing electron-withdrawing power.
