Synthesis of copillar[5]arene by co-oligomerization of different monomers and its application to supramolecular polymer gel

A copillar[5]arene derivative with different repeating units was synthesized by co-oligomerization of different alkyl ethers. Copillar[5]arene-based supramolecular polymer gel was formed by a self-inclusion complexing in acetonitrile. The supramolecular polymer gel was driven by the C-H· π interactions, and presented two phases as time went on, and finally, constructed the supramolecular organic framework. Notably, the supramolecular polymer gel showed reversible gel-sol phase transitions upon heating and cooling. Meanwhile, the transparent films formed by the supramloecular gel show the potential application in the field of anti-acid rain materials.

Bipyridyl ligand and preparation method thereof, ruthenium supramolecular self-assembly body containing bipyridyl ligand and preparation method and application of ruthenium supramolecular self-assembly

The invention provides a novel bipyridyl bidentate ligand and a preparation method thereof. The structural formula of the novel bipyridyl bidentate ligand is shown in the specification. The inventionfurther provides a ruthenium supramolecular self-assembly body of the ligand and a preparation method of the ruthenium supramolecular self-assembly body. The preparation method comprises the followingsteps: putting a prepared ruthenium receptor and a bipyridyl ligand into a container, adding a mixed solvent of methanol and dichloromethane in equal proportion, stirring for a period of time at roomtemperature, spin-drying the solution to a certain volume after the reaction is finished, slowly adding diethyl ether, and separating out solid powder, namely the ruthenium supramolecular self-assembly body containing the bipyridyl ligand. The self-assembly body is a novel ruthenium-containing self-assembly compound, and has a good inhibition effect on cancer tumor cell lines A549 and HepG-2.

Supramolecular enantiomeric and structural differentiation of amino acid derivatives with achiral pillar[5]arene homologs

Complexation of achiral pillar[5]arenes with chiral amines induced strong circular dichroism (CD) signals. The CD responses differed drastically depending on the nature of the amino acid guest, and they significantly varied and part of them even inverted, upon increasing the length of the alkyl chains of the pillar[5]arenes guests. Accordingly, this tactic allowed for the unprecedented simultaneous enantiomeric and structural differentiation of α-amino esters with homologous molecular hosts.

Photoswitchable J-aggregated processable organogel by integrating a photochromic acceptor

A novel αchromophoric 1,4-bis(anthracenylethynyl)benzene (BAB)-based highly emissive J-aggregated organogel has been synthesized and characterized. Single-crystal structure determination of asymmetric π-chromophoric bola-amphiphilic BAB1 (dodecyl and triethyleneglycolmonomethylether containing side chains of bis(anthracenylethynyl)benzene) supports J-aggregation. Further, a photochromic acceptor chromophore, 4,4′-(perfluorocyclopent-1-ene-1,2-diyl)bis(5-methylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde), is noncovalently encapsulated in the gel and photoswitching studies have been performed based on photochromic F?rster resonance energy transfer. The modulated emission of the processable soft material is further exploited for rewritable display. However, BAB2 (dodecyl side chain on both sides) does not show gelation property due to its low solubility.

Solvent Adaptive Dynamic Metal-Organic Soft Hybrid for Imaging and Biological Delivery

A solvent responsive dynamic nanoscale metal-organic framework (NMOF) [Zn(1 a)(H2O)2] has been devised based on the self-assembly of ZnII and asymmetric bola-amphiphilic oligo-(p-phenyleneethynylene) (OPE) dicarboxylate linker 1 a having dodecyl and triethyleneglycolmonomethylether (TEG, polar) side chains. In THF solvent, NMOF showed nanovesicular morphology (NMOF-1) with surface decorated dodecyl chains. In water and methanol, NMOF exhibited inverse-nanovesicle (NMOF-2) and nanoscroll (NMOF-3) morphology, respectively, with surface projected TEG chains. The pre-formed NMOFs also unveiled reversible solvent responsive transformation of different morphologies. The flexible NMOF showed cyan emission and no cytotoxicity, allowing live cell imaging. Cisplatin (14.4 wt %) and doxorubicin (4.1 wt %) were encapsulated in NMOF-1 by non-covalent interactions and, in vitro and in vivo drug release was studied. The drug loaded NMOFs exhibited micromolar cytotoxicity.

Functional phenylethynylene side arm poly(arylene ethynylene) conjugated polymers: Optical and electrochemical behavior for enrichment of electronic applications

The poly(arylene ethynylene) (PAE) conjugated polymers (CPs) with a donor-acceptor (D-A) side arm have been designed and synthesized using Sonogashira cross coupling in the presence of cyano methylene, or cyano thiophene gave diethynyl (A) and alkoxy and alkyl substituted diiodo aryl monomers (D). An interesting electronic response in optical measurements such as UV-visible (UV-vis) and fluorescence (FL) spectra was observed in tetrahydrofuran solvent. From the FL spectra, it was observed that the CP solutions possess an interesting long bathochromic shift when compared with the UV-vis spectra, because of the electron withdrawing, electron releasing and conjugation effects. The electrochemical and thin film UV-vis spectral measurements provided highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) electronic energy levels and their corresponding semiconducting electronic energy gaps (Eg) of the PAE CPs. Among the side arm CPs, polymers P1 and P5 have low Eg of 2.14 eV and 2.17 eV. The new PAE CPs are reliable for use in electronic and photonics applications.

Pure white light emission and charge transfer in organogels of symmetrical and unsymmetrical π-chromophoric oligo-: P -(phenyleneethynylene) bola-amphiphiles

Two novel bola-amphiphilic oligo-p-(phenyleneethynylene) (OPE) dicarboxylates have been synthesized having non-polar and mixed-polar side chains. This led to gelation in both with vesicular morphology. Upon in situ loading of a suitable dye and redox-active molecule, pure white light emitting and charge transfer (CT)-gels, respectively, were realized.
