Effect of Chirality on the Binding of Viologen Guests in Porphyrin Macrocycles.

ABSTRACT: As part of a project aimed at the development of chiral processive catalysts that can write information on a polymer chain we describe the synthesis of two optically active porphyrin macrocycles, which are prepared in 3 steps from an achiral precursor compound. Fluorescence and 1H-NMR studies show that one of the macrocycles displays selectivity in the binding of chiral viologen guest molecules.

Kinetic enantio-recognition of chiral viologen guests by planar-chiral porphyrin cages.

Project description:The kinetic enantio-recognition of chiral viologen guests by planar-chiral porphyrin cage compounds, measured in terms of ΔΔG‡on, is determined by the planar-chirality of the host and influenced by the size, as measured by ion mobility-mass spectrometry, but not the chirality of its substituents.

Enantioselective synthesis of chiral porphyrin macrocyclic hosts and kinetic enantiorecognition of viologen guests.

Project description:The construction of macromolecular hosts that are able to thread chiral guests in a stereoselective fashion is a big challenge. We herein describe the asymmetric synthesis of two enantiomeric C 2-symmetric porphyrin macrocyclic hosts that thread and bind different viologen guests. Time-resolved fluorescence studies show that these hosts display a factor 3 kinetic preference (ΔΔG ‡ on = 3 kJ mol-1) for threading onto the different enantiomers of a viologen guest appended with bulky chiral 1-phenylethoxy termini. A smaller kinetic selectivity (ΔΔG ‡ on = 1 kJ mol-1) is observed for viologens equipped with small chiral sec-butoxy termini. Kinetic selectivity is absent when the C 2-symmetric hosts are threaded onto chiral viologens appended with chiral tails in which the chiral moieties are located in the centers of the chains, rather than at the chain termini. The reason is that the termini of the latter guests, which engage in the initial stages of the threading process (entron effect), cannot discriminate because they are achiral, in contrast to the chiral termini of the former guests. Finally, our experiments show that the threading and de-threading rates are balanced in such a way that the observed binding constants are highly similar for all the investigated host-guest complexes, i.e. there is no thermodynamic selectivity.

Host-Guest Exchange of Viologen Guests in Porphyrin Cage Compounds as Studied by Selective Exchange Spectroscopy (1D EXSY) NMR.

Project description:Dynamics in complexes of porphyrin cage compounds and viologen-derived guest molecules are investigated by selective exchange NMR spectroscopy (1D EXSY). Exchange rates were found to be independent of excess guest concentration, revealing a dissociative exchange mechanism, which is accompanied by negative activation entropies, indicating significant reorganization of the host-guest complex during dissociation. Nonsymmetric viologen guests with bulky head groups had more unidirectional binding and slower exchange rates than guests with less-bulky head groups. Thermodynamic and kinetic studies revealed that the exchange process is primarily driven by the thermodynamics of binding and that guest binding can be influenced by introducing steric and electronic groups on the host . Exchange studies with guests bearing a polymer chain revealed that both slippage and full dissociation takes place and the rate constants for both processes were determined. The slippage rate constant revealed that for smaller guests exchange takes place nearly exclusively under thermodynamic control.

Molecular motor-functionalized porphyrin macrocycles.

Project description:Molecular motors and switches change conformation under the influence of an external stimulus, e.g. light. They can be incorporated into functional systems, allowing the construction of adaptive materials and switchable catalysts. Here, we present two molecular motor-functionalized porphyrin macrocycles for future photo-switchable catalysis. They display helical, planar and point chirality, and are diastereomers, which differ in the relative orientation of the motor and macrocyclic components. Fluorescence, UV-vis, and 1H NMR experiments reveal that the motor-functionalized macrocycles can bind and thread different variants of viologen guests, including a one-side blocked polymeric one of 30 repeat units. The latter feature indicates that the motor systems can find the open end of a polymer chain, thread on it, and move along the chain to eventually bind at the viologen trap, opening possibilities for catalytic writing on single polymer chains via chemical routes.

Computational design of mixed chirality peptide macrocycles with internal symmetry.

Project description:Cyclic symmetry is frequent in protein and peptide homo-oligomers, but extremely rare within a single chain, as it is not compatible with free N- and C-termini. Here we describe the computational design of mixed-chirality peptide macrocycles with rigid structures that feature internal cyclic symmetries or improper rotational symmetries inaccessible to natural proteins. Crystal structures of three C2- and C3-symmetric macrocycles, and of six diverse S2-symmetric macrocycles, match the computationally-designed models with backbone heavy-atom RMSD values of 1 Å or better. Crystal structures of an S4-symmetric macrocycle (consisting of a sequence and structure segment mirrored at each of three successive repeats) designed to bind zinc reveal a large-scale zinc-driven conformational change from an S4-symmetric apo-state to a nearly inverted S4-symmetric holo-state almost identical to the design model. These symmetric structures provide promising starting points for applications ranging from design of cyclic peptide based metal organic frameworks to creation of high affinity binders of symmetric protein homo-oligomers. More generally, this work demonstrates the power of computational design for exploring symmetries and structures not found in nature, and for creating synthetic switchable systems.

Effect of zinc cations on the kinetics of supramolecular assembly and the chirality of porphyrin J-aggregates.

Project description:Dilute aqueous solutions of anionic meso-4-sulfonatophenyl-porphyrin (TPPS) extract zinc(ii) ions from glass or quartz surfaces at room temperature and efficiently form the corresponding metal complex (ZnTPPS). The partial or complete formation of ZnTPPS has been probed by UV/Vis spectroscopy and both static and time-resolved fluorescence. The source of zinc(ii) ions has been clearly identified through inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. The presence of increasing amounts of ZnTPPS slows down the rate of TPPS J-aggregate formation in acid solution. This influences the nucleation step and has a profound impact on the onset of chirality in these species. This evidence indicates the important role of this adventitious metal ion in the interpretation of various spectroscopic and kinetic data for the self-assembly of the TPPS porphyrin and provides some insights into controversial findings on their chirality. The use of this metal derivative as the starting compound for in situ formation of monomeric TPPS is suggested.

Two-ring chirality generated by the alignment of two achiral phenylacetylene macrocycles.

Project description:When two achiral rings are bound mechanically, a chiral source is generated in the assembly. The chiroptical properties could be modulated according to the relative occupation of each ring in the assembly. In fact, we have found that two isomeric assemblies (1 and 2) show unique properties in each assembly with two achiral rings of phenylacetylene macrocycle (PAM). When considering the difference in the chiroptical properties of these two isomeric assemblies (6PAM × 2), no comparison was available based on no activity of the achiral component element itself (6PAM). In this work, we synthesized a two-ring chiral analog (4) by the ring-fusion of two 6PAMs to an 11PAM, and examined the chiroptical properties of 4, since the single helix was imparted as a chiral source. By comparison of the chiroptical properties (molar circular dichroism and molar optical rotation) of 1 and 2 to those of 4, we demonstrated that the disparity was related to the alignment of the two achiral rings.

Promoted Charge Separation and Long-Lived Charge-Separated State in Porphyrin-Viologen Dyad Nanoparticles.

Project description:Developing light-harvesting systems with efficient photoinduced charge separation and long-lived charge-separated (CS) state is desirable but still challenging. In this study, we designed a zinc porphyrin photosensitizer covalently linked with viologen (ZnP-V) that can be prepared into nanoparticles in aqueous solution. In DMF solution, the monomeric ZnP-V dyads show no electron transfer between the ZnP and viologen units. In contrast, the ZnP-V nanoparticles in aqueous solution show fast charge separation with a CS state lifetime of up to 4.3 ms. This can be attributed to charge hopping induced by aggregation or distance modification between the donor and acceptor induced by electronic interaction. Nevertheless, the lifetime of the CS state is orders of magnitude longer than for molecular aggregates reported previously. The ZnP-V nanoparticles show enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production as compared to the ZnP nanoparticles and still hold promise for other applications such as photovoltaic devices and photoredox catalysis.

Facile Construction of a Supramolecular Organic Framework Using Naphthyl Viologen Guests and CB[8] Host via Charge-Transfer Complexation.

Project description:Herein, we report the synthesis of guest-host systems comprising naphthyl-viologen-naphthyl (Np-Vio-Np) and viologen-naphthyl-viologen (Vio-Np-Vio) guest molecules and their subsequent supramolecular polymerization in the presence of a CB[8] host in water. In addition, the guest complexation of ethyl-terminated trimeric viologen (ETV) with Np-Vio-Np and CB[8] was investigated. As a result of supramolecular interactions, 2D supramolecular organic frameworks with high internal periodicity were constructed. 1H NMR studies clearly demonstrated the formation of a host-stabilized charge-transfer complex via folding back (Np-Vio-Np and Vio-Np-Vio) in the presence of CB[8]. In the case of ETV + Np-Vio-Np + CB[8], a large polymeric network was formed as indicated by the NMR titrations. UV-vis and fluorescence studies clearly confirm the formation of an inter/intra molecular CT complex upon complexation with cucurbit[8]uril. The size obtained using the dynamic light scattering (DLS) method pinpoints the formation of larger supramolecular aggregates in the order of μm through host-guest assembly, which is further complemented by FESEM and TEM. SAXS measurements indicate the formation of a 2D supramolecular polymer/polymer aggregate with long-range order.

Enhanced shape-selective recognition of anion guests through complexation-induced organization of porphyrin hosts.

Project description:We present a fortuitous discovery of enhanced shape-selective recognition of anion guests that stems from a complexation-induced conformational change in porphyrin hosts upon anion binding. Porphyrin hosts reported here exist in a conformation that is not favorable to guest binding. Anions that bind strongly are those that can induce a conformational change in the host to allow guest binding. Furthermore, guests that mimic the shape of the newly formed pocket bind the strongest.
