RESUMO

Coordinated motions are essential in the operation of molecular machines. This feature can be achieved by landscaping the energy surface along the movement coordinates. Herein, we present an approach of using a single stimulus to modify the free energy curve describing the threading and shuttling of a ring along a linear molecule. This approach has been realized by locating two identical ring-binding sites near the axle termini.

RESUMO

A pseudo-rotaxane is a host-guest complex composed of a linear molecule encircled by a macrocyclic ring. These complexes can be assembled by sliding the host over the guest terminal groups. If there is a close match between the molecular volume of the flanking groups on the guest and the cavity size of the macrocycle, the slipping might occur slowly or even become completely hindered. We have previously shown that it is possible to overcome the restraints imposed by steric effects on the sliding process by integrating electrostatic attractive interactions during the slipping step. In this work, we extend our electrostatically assisted slipping approach (EASA) to a new host-guest system featuring a flexible macrocyclic ring and a series of asymmetric guests containing a cyclic tertiary ammonium group. Compelling evidence for pseudo-rotaxane formation is presented, along with thermodynamic and kinetic data. Experimental results suggests that the higher conformational flexibility of 24-crown-8 significantly increases the sliding rate, compared with the more rigid dibenzo-24-crown-8, without affecting complex stability. Furthermore, by combining the EASA and macrocycle flexibility, we were capable to slip a large eight-membered cyclic group across the 24-crown-8 annulus, setting a new limit on the ring molecular size that can pass through a 24-membered crown ether.

RESUMO

The protonation of a cyclic tertiary amine, integrated into the structure of a dumbbell-shaped guest molecule, accelerates the sliding of the guest through the cavity of a crown ether macrocycle to yield a stable pseudo-rotaxane complex. The use of an amine with the appropriate ring size followed by a proton transfer reaction leads to the formation of an interlocked rotaxane species.
