Synthesis and self-assembly of a penta[60]fullerene bearing benzo[ghi]perylenetriimide units.

ABSTRACT: A benzo[ghi]perylenetriimide (BPTI) derivative bearing a terminal azido group on the expanded π-conjugated backbone has been synthesized and characterized. This promising photo- and electroactive BPTI motif has been used to obtain an original penta(organo)fullerene as a promising multi-electron acceptor system. Our studies show its self-assembly resulting from aggregation via π-π stacking interaction in solution and in the solid state.

Synthesis, crystal structure, self-assembly of C60 derivatives bearing rigid pyridine substituents.

Project description:Microstructures of fullerene derivatives formed via self-assembly strategy facilitate the versatile applications of these zero-dimensional molecules. However, the accurate elucidation of formation mechanism of fullerene microstructures is a challenge issue. A novel fullerene derivative 2 with rigid pyridine substituent was synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Using the strategy of liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation, self-assembly of 2 affords a micrometer-sized flowerlike and a discoid morphology. Based on the crystal packing of 2, the proper formation mechanism of different morphologies was proposed. Meanwhile, the photoelectrochemical properties of different morphologies of 2 was also unveiled.

Synthesis of inter-[60]fullerene conjugates with inherent chirality.

Project description:Coalescence of [60]fullerenes potentially produces hypothetical nanocarbon assemblies with non-naturally occurring topologies. Since the discovery of [60]fullerene in 1985, coalesced [60]fullerene oligomers have only been observed as transient species by transmission electron microscopy during an oligomerization process under a high electron acceleration voltage. Herein, we showcase the rational synthesis of covalent assemblies consisting of inherently chiral open-[60]fullerenes. The crystallographic analyses unveiled double-caged structures of non-conjugated and conjugated inter-[60]fullerene hybrids, in which the two [60]fullerene cages are bounds to each other through a covalent linkage. The former one further assembles via a heterochiral recognition so that four carbon cages are arranged in a tetrahedral manner both in solution and solid state. Reflecting radially-conjugated double π-surface nature, the inter-[60]fullerene conjugate exhibits strong electronic communication in its reduced states, intense absorption behavior, and chiroptical activity with a dissymmetry factor of 0.21 (at 674 nm) which breaks the record for known chiral organic molecules.

Highly efficient synthesis of [60]fullerene oxides by plasma jet.

Project description:Atmospheric pressure nonequilibrium plasma jet has been applied to the synthesis of [60]fullerene oxides (C60On) for the first time. C60O and C60O2 were produced and isolated in high yields up to 44% and 21%, respectively. The structural assignment of C60O was confirmed by comparison with the reported spectroscopic data. Theoretical calculations of 13C NMR chemical shifts for eight isomers of C60O2 were performed and compared with the experimental data to assign the most possible structure for the obtained C60O2 dominantly as an e isomer.

Protein-directed self-assembly of a fullerene crystal.

Project description:Learning to engineer self-assembly would enable the precise organization of molecules by design to create matter with tailored properties. Here we demonstrate that proteins can direct the self-assembly of buckminsterfullerene (C60) into ordered superstructures. A previously engineered tetrameric helical bundle binds C60 in solution, rendering it water soluble. Two tetramers associate with one C60, promoting further organization revealed in a 1.67-Å crystal structure. Fullerene groups occupy periodic lattice sites, sandwiched between two Tyr residues from adjacent tetramers. Strikingly, the assembly exhibits high charge conductance, whereas both the protein-alone crystal and amorphous C60 are electrically insulating. The affinity of C60 for its crystal-binding site is estimated to be in the nanomolar range, with lattices of known protein crystals geometrically compatible with incorporating the motif. Taken together, these findings suggest a new means of organizing fullerene molecules into a rich variety of lattices to generate new properties by design.

Synthesis of Site-Specific Antibody-[60]Fullerene-Oligonucleotide Conjugates for Cellular Targeting.

Project description:An ideal therapeutic antibody-oligonucleotide conjugate (AOC) would be a uniform construct, contain a maximal oligonucleotide (ON) payload, and retain the antibody (Ab)-mediated binding properties, which leads to an efficient delivery of the ON cargo to the site of therapeutic action. Herein, [60]fullerene-based molecular spherical nucleic acids (MSNAs) have been site-specifically conjugated to antibodies (Abs), and the Ab-mediated cellular targeting of the MSNA-Ab conjugates has been studied. A well-established glycan engineering technology and robust orthogonal click chemistries yielded the desired uniform MSNA-Ab conjugates (MW ∼ 270 kDa), with an oligonucleotide (ON):Ab ratio of 24:1, in 20-26% isolated yields. These AOCs retained the antigen binding properties (Trastuzumab's binding to human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, HER2), studied by biolayer interferometry. In addition, Ab-mediated endocytosis was demonstrated with live-cell fluorescence and phase-contrast microscopy on BT-474 breast carcinoma cells, overexpressing HER2. The effect on cell proliferation was analyzed by label-free live-cell time-lapse imaging.

Solid State Self-Assembly of an Extended Curved-Arm Nickel(II) Macrocycle with Fullerene C60.

Project description:Three new co-crystalline structures are reported that contain fullerene C60 with the under-represented Ni(II)-dibenzotetraaza[14]annulene derivative, (5,14-dihydro-6,8,15,17-tetrabenzyl-2,3,11,12-tetramethyldibenzo[b,i][1,4,8,11]tetraazacyclo-tetradecine)nickel(II), [Ni(Bz4TMTAA)]. The single-crystal X-ray analysis shows that the three studied compounds crystallize in the monoclinic C2/c, Pnma orthorhombic and triclinic P 1,char/0x00AFnotimplemented${1,char/0x00AF not implemented}$ space groups, with the two former compounds being polymorphs that are isostructural but differ in their symmetries. From the crystallographic results, a common packing arrangement is established, with C60 and [Ni(Bz4TMTAA)] molecules organised around one-dimensional hollow channels, associated 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 complexation of the macrocycle and the fullerene molecules, the latter being organised into hexagonal arrays. Interestingly, one of the structures showed a skewed hexagonal channel arrangement with the introduction of water molecules. Hirshfeld surface analyses have been used to investigate non-covalent interactions and cumulative π…π, C-H…π, H…H, and N…C60 interactions between fullerene C60 and [Ni(Bz4TMTAA)] host molecule which are deemed the stabilizing factors for forming the sophisticated arrangements in the solid-state. differences.

Synthesis of photoresponsive dual NIR two-photon absorptive [60]fullerene triads and tetrads.

Project description:Broadband nonlinear optical (NLO) organic nanostructures exhibiting both ultrafast photoresponse and a large cross-section of two-photon absorption throughout a wide NIR spectrum may make them suitable for use as nonlinear biophotonic materials. We report here the synthesis and characterization of two C??-(antenna)(x) analogous compounds as branched triad C??(>DPAF-C??)(>CPAF-C(2M)) and tetrad C??(>DPAF-C??)(>CPAF-C(2M))? nanostructures. These compounds showed approximately equal extinction coefficients of optical absorption over 400-550 nm that corresponds to near-IR two-photon based excitation wavelengths at 780-1,100 nm. Accordingly, they may be utilized as potential precursor candidates to the active-core structures of photosensitizing nanodrugs for 2?-PDT in the biological optical window of 800-1,050 nm.

Synthesis and Electrochemistry of New Furylpyrazolino[60]fullerene Derivatives by Efficient Microwave Radiation.

Project description:Efficient one-pot synthesis of new series of furylpyrazolino[60]fullerene derivatives was prepared by [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction mediated with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (PhI(OAc)2) as an oxidant in o-dichlorobenzene (ODCB) under microwave irradiation. Different techniques have been used to confirm the structural identity including FT-IR, fast atom bombardment (FAB)-mass, NMR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, in addition to investigating the photophysical properties and the electrochemical properties for the new compounds using UV-Vis spectra, fluorescence spectra, cyclic voltammetry, and square wave voltammetry. Three of these pyrazolino[60]fullerene compounds showed better electron affinity than the parent C60 in the ground state.

Synthesis and characterization of positively charged pentacationic [60]fullerene monoadducts for antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation.

Project description:We designed and synthesized two analogous pentacationic [60]fullerenyl monoadducts, C??(>ME?N??C?) (1) and C??(>ME?N??C?) (2), with variation of the methoxyethyleneglycol length. Each of these derivatives bears a well-defined number of cationic charges aimed to enhance and control their ability to target pathogenic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial cells for allowing photodynamic inactivation. The synthesis was achieved by the use of a common synthon of pentacationic N,N?,N,N,N,N-hexapropylhexa(aminoethyl)amine arm (C?N??) having six attached propyl groups, instead of methyl or ethyl groups, to provide a well-balanced hydrophobicity-hydrophilicity character to pentacationic precursor intermediates and better compatibility with the highly hydrophobic C?? cage moiety. We demonstrated two plausible synthetic routes for the preparation of 1 and 2 with the product characterization via various spectroscopic methods.
