    Self-Organized Heteroditopic Macrocyclic Superstructures

    No full text
    The synthesis of heteroditopic macrocyclic ureido receptors and of their NaX complexes is described. NMR studies and determination of the crystal structure show the formation of self-organized dimeric or polymeric superstructures by a cooperative macrocyclic cation complexation, anion−hydrogen bonding, and π−π stacking interactions. Membrane transport experiments show a direct relation between the synergetic ion-pair recognition and the transport properties of these molecular information transfer devices

    Silver(I) Coordination Polymers Containing Heteroditopic Ureidopyridine Ligands:  The Role of Ligand Isomerism, Hydrogen Bonding, and Stacking Interactions

    No full text
    New silver (I) coordination polymers has been successfully designed and synthesized using heteroditopic ureidopyridine ligands 1 and 2 via a combination of coordinations bonds, hydrogen bonding, and π−π stacking interactions. This study shows an example of the orientation of the pyridine nitrogen relative to the urea moiety (4-substituted, 1, or 3-substituted, 2), used to control the packing of resulting crystalline coordination polymers. The ureidopyridine ligands present some flexibility because of the conformational rotation around the central urea moiety. The co-complexation of the silver(I) cation by two pyridine moieties and of the PF6- counteranion by the urea moiety results in the formation of discrete [12Ag]+PF6-, (3) and [22Ag]+PF6-, (4) complexes presenting restricted rotation around the central urea functionality. The geometrical information contained in the structures of ligands 1 and 2 and the heteroditopic complexation of silver hexafluorophosphate are fully exploited in an independent manner resulting in the emergence of quasi-rigidly preorganized linear and angular building blocks of 3 and 4, respectively. Additional π−π stacking contacts involving interactions between the π-donor benzene and the π-acceptor pyridine systems reinforce and direct the self-assembly of the above-described combined structural motifs in the solid state. Accordingly, linear and tubular arrays of π−π stacked architectures are generated in the solid state by synergistic and sequential metal ion complexation, hydrogen bonding, and π−π stacking interaction

    Self-Optimizing Charge-Transfer Energy Phenomena in Metallosupramolecular Complexes by Dynamic Constitutional Self-Sorting

    No full text
    In this paper we report an extended series of 2,6-(iminoarene)pyridine-type ZnII complexes [(Lii)2Zn]II, which were surveyed for their ability to self-exchange both their ligands and their aromatic arms and to form different homoduplex and heteroduplex complexes in solution. The self-sorting of heteroduplex complexes is likely to be the result of geometric constraints. Whereas the imine-exchange process occurs quantitatively in 1:1 mixtures of [(Lii)2Zn]II complexes, the octahedral coordination process around the metal ion defines spatial-frustrated exchanges that involve the selective formation of heterocomplexes of two, by two different substituents; the bulkiest ones (pyrene in principle) specifically interact with the pseudoterpyridine core, sterically hindering the least bulky ones, which are intermolecularly stacked with similar ligands of neighboring molecules. Such a self-sorting process defined by the specific self-constitution of the ligands exchanging their aromatic substituents is self-optimized by a specific control over their spatial orientation around a metal center within the complex. They ultimately show an improved charge-transfer energy function by virtue of the dynamic amplification of self-optimized heteroduplex architectures. These systems therefor illustrate the convergence of the combinatorial self-sorting of the dynamic combinatorial libraries (DCLs) strategy and the constitutional self-optimized function
