Hula hoop: The rotary movement of a chromophore-modified α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) was studied in a rotaxane structure attached to a glass substrate. The rotary movement of the α-CD was demonstrated by defocused wide-field imaging with total internal reflecti

Herein, we report the discovery of several NS5A inhibitors with potency against HCV genotype 1b in the picomolar range. Compounds (15, 33) were of extremely high potency against HCV genotype 1b (EC50 ≈ 1 pM), improved activity against genotype 3a (GT 3a) and good metabolic stability. We studied the impact of changing the cap conformation relative to the diphenylethyne core and/or compound symmetry on both potency and metabolic stability. The analogs obtained exhibited improved potency against HCV genotypes 1a, 1b, 3a and 4a compared to the clinically approved candidate daclatasvir with EC50 values in the low picomolar range and SI50s > 7 orders of magnitude. Compound 15, a symmetrically m-, m’-substituted diphenyl ethyne analog, was 150-fold more potent than daclatasvir against GT 3a, while compound 33, an asymmetrically m-, p-substituted diphenyl ethyne analog, was 35-fold more potent than daclatasvir against GT 3a. In addition, compound 15 exhibited a higher resistance barrier than daclatasvir against genotype 1b.

As polymer-based thermoelectric (TE) materials possess attractive features such as light weight, flexibility, low toxicity and ease of processibility, an increasing number of conducting polymers and their composites with high TE performances have been developed in recent years. Up to date, however, the research focusing on the structure-performance relationship remains rare. In this paper, two series of poly(Schiff base)s with either C=C or C≡C linker and their metallopolymers were synthesized and doped with single-walled carbon nanotubes to evaluate how the linking groups affected the TE properties of the resulting composites. Apart from the effect exerted by the morphology, experimental results suggested that the linkers played a key role in determining the band gaps, preferred molecular conformation and extent of conjugation of the polymers, which became key factors that influenced the TE properties of the resulting materials. Additionally, upon coordination with transition metal ions, the TE properties could be tuned readily.

We report in this communication the first example of catalytic alkyne metathesis reactions mediated by well-defined non-d0 alkylidyne complexes. The air-stable d2 Re(V) alkylidyne complex Re4, bearing two PO-chelating ligands and a labile pyridine ligand, could catalyze homometathesis of internal alkynes with a broad substrate scope, including alcohols, amines, and even carboxylic acids. The catalyst can tolerate heating, air, and moisture in both solid and solution states, and the catalytic metathesis reactions could proceed normally in wet solvents.

Control over the conformation and packing of conjugated materials is an unsolved problem that prevents the rational design of organic optoelectronics, such as preventing self-quenching of luminescent molecules. Exacerbating this challenge is a general lack of widely applicable strategies for controlling packing with discrete, directional non-covalent interactions. Here, we present a series of conjugated molecules with diverse backbones of three or four arenes that feature pentafluorobenzyl ester substituents. Nearly all the compounds reveal intramolecular stacking interactions between the fluoroarene (ArF) side-chains and non-fluorinated arenes (ArH) in the middle of the chromophores; a twisted PE linkage accompanies each example of this intramolecular ArF-ArH stacking. Furthermore, these molecules can resist dramatic changes to emission upon transition from organic solution to thin film when ArF rings prevent interchromophore interactions. By broadening the structural space of conjugated backbones over which ArF-ArH stacking can twist PE linkages reliably and prevent self-quenching of solids with simple synthetic approaches, this work suggests fluorinated benzyl ester substituents adjacent to phenylene ethynylene linkages as supramolecular synthons for the crystal engineering of organic optoelectronic materials.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline, highly porous, two- or three-dimensional polymers with tunable topology and functionalities. Because of their higher chemical stabilities in comparison to their boron-linked counterparts, imine or β-ketoenamine linked COFs have been utilized for a broad range of applications, including gas storage, heterogeneous catalysis, energy storage devices, or proton-conductive membranes. Herein, we report the synthesis of highly porous and chemically stable acetylene (-C≡C-) and diacetylene (-C≡C-C≡C-) functionalized β-ketoenamine COFs, which have been applied as photocatalyst for hydrogen generation from water. It is shown that the diacetylene moieties have a profound effect as the diacetylene-based COF largely outperforms the acetylene-based COF in terms of photocatalytic activity. As a combined effect of high porosity, easily accessible diacetylene (-C≡C-C≡C-) functionalities and considerable chemical stability, an efficient and recyclable heterogeneous photocatalytic hydrogen generation is achieved.

The invention discloses a carborane-perylene diimide derivative and a synthesis method thereof, a sensing array based on the derivative and a preparation method and an application of the sensor array,and belongs to the technical field of small-molecular fluorescent sensing thin film materials. The carborane-perylene diimide derivative is placed in a solution, is assembled into a fiber structure with relatively large specific surface, and then is transferred to different substrate surfaces, so as to obtain the sensing array composed of a variety of fluorescent thin films; the sensing array canbe sensitive to sense six important drug gases, and drug samples have no need of any treatment; at the same time, through array combination, the interference of common interferents is eliminated thoroughly. The operation is simple, and the reaction conditions are mild. The prepared fluorescent sensing thin film has good stability and long service life, and is an excellent drug gas sensing thin film array. With combination use of the thin film and commercial fluorescent instruments, the drug gases can be sensitively detected. In addition, the drug gas special detection instrument can be developed through the device of the sensing thin film.

Although molybdenum alkylidyne complexes such as 1 endowed with triarylsilanolate ligands are excellent catalysts for alkyne metathesis, they can encounter limitations when (multiple) protic sites are present in a given substrate and/or when forcing conditions are necessary. In such cases, a catalyst formed in situ upon mixing of the trisamidomolybenum alkylidyne complex 3 and the readily available trisilanol derivatives 8 or 11 shows significantly better performance. This two-component system worked well for a series of model compounds comprising primary, secondary or phenolic -OH groups, as well as for a set of challenging (bis)propargylic substrates. Its remarkable efficiency is also evident from applications to the total syntheses of manshurolide, a highly strained sesquiterpene lactone with kinase inhibitory activity, and the structurally demanding immunosuppressive cyclodiyne ivorenolide A; in either case, the standard catalyst 1 largely failed to effect the critical macrocyclization, whereas the two-component system was fully operative. A study directed toward the quinolizidine alkaloid lythrancepine I features yet another instructive example, in that a triyne substrate was metathesized with the help of 3/11 such that two of the triple bonds participated in ring closure, while the third one passed uncompromised. As a spin-off of this project, a much improved ruthenium catalyst for the redox isomerization of propargyl alcohols to the corresponding enones was developed.
