Polyelectrolytes carrying multiple negative charges were found to induce the aggregation and self-assembly of the positively charged platinum(II)- terpyridyl complexes in aqueous media. The aggregation and self-assembly of the complexes were driven by electrostatic interactions between the polymer and the complex, and by terpyridine ligand π-π stacking and platinum-platinum (metal-metal) interactions. As a result, remarkable UV/ Vis and emission spectral changes were observed. The spectroscopic property changes were related to the structural properties of the metal complexes as well as the polyelectrolytes. The induced self-assembly of the platinum complexes was also strongly affected by the solution properties of the aqueous media, for example, the solution pH, ionic strength, and the percentage of organic solvent added.

When an organometallic catalyst is tethered onto a nanoparticle and is embedded in a monolayer of longer ligands terminated in "gating"end-groups, these groups can control the access and orientation of the incoming substrates. In this way, a nonspecific catalyst can become enzyme-like: it can select only certain substrates from substrate mixtures and, quite remarkably, can also preorganize these substrates such that only some of their otherwise equivalent sites react. For a simple, copper-based click reaction catalyst and for gating ligands terminated in charged groups, both substrate- and site-selectivities are on the order of 100, which is all the more notable given the relative simplicity of the on-particle monolayers compared to the intricacy of enzymes' active sites. The strategy of self-assembling macromolecular, on-nanoparticle environments to enhance selectivities of "ordinary"catalysts presented here is extendable to other types of catalysts and gating based on electrostatics, hydrophobicity, and chirality, or the combinations of these effects. Rational design of such systems should be guided by theoretical models we also describe.
Efficient synthesis of water-soluble calixarenes using click chemistry

(Chemical Equation Presented) Several water-soluble calix[4]arenes were synthesized via Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between azides and alkynes. Cationic, anionic, and nonionic calixarenes were prepared from a common azidocalixarene intermediate. Azidocalixarenes performed better than alkynylcalixarenes as precursors. The aggregation behavior of the water-soluble calixarenes was studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy.
