First Pseudorotaxane-Like [3]Complexes Based on Cryptands and Paraquat:  Self-Assembly and Crystal Structures

Abstract: A new cryptand, bis(1,3,5-phenylene)tri(1,4,7,10-tetraoxadecyl) (3a), has been synthesized in good yield from bis(5-hydroxy-1,3-phenylene)-26-crown-8 (2a) and tri(ethylene glycol) ditosylate using pseudo-high dilution conditions. 3a forms a strong 1:1 complex with paraquat (1) in acetone solution with a high apparent association constant, 1.4 x 10(4) M(-)(1). A stoichiometry of 1:1 was also observed by mass spectrometry in the gaseous state. However, in the solid state, as determined by X-ray crystallography, … Show more

“…Paraquat and its derivatives are widely used in crown ether rotaxanes and several recent examples of crown ether [197202] or cryptand [203205] complexes with paraquat have been described. Such complexes are not within the scope of this review and the interested reader is referred to the literature cited above.…”

“…In order to improve complexation with paraquat derivatives, we introduced cryptands that have proved to be much better hosts than simple crown ethers [14][15][16][17][18]. Most of these reported cryptand/paraquat complexes are only pseudorotaxane-like because paraquat is not long enough to extend outside of the cavities of cryptands [14][15][16][17][18]. Here we report a "true" cryptand/paraquat [2]pseudorotaxane in which the paraquat derivative guest is long enough to extend from the cavity of the host.…”

“…Crown ethers [7][8][9][10][11][12][13], cryptands [14][15][16][17][18], cyclodextrins [19][20][21][22], cucurbit[n]urils [23][24][25], and calix[n]arenes [26,27] have been universally used as hosts to fabricate various supramolecular assemblies, which have great potential in molecular devices, chemosensors, and nano materials. Paraquat ( Figure 1) and its derivatives (N,N′-dialkyl-4,4′-bipyridinium salts) are common guests in the field of pseudorotaxanes and rotaxanes [28][29][30][31].…”

“…[11] The crown-ether-based cryptand 1 (Figure 1) has proved to be a powerful host for the paraquat salt 2 a. [3a] According to the X-ray structure of the complex 1·2 a, the bipyridinium dicationic part threads into the cavity of the crown-ether-based cryptand 1 with the assistance from two hydrogen bonds formed between the two acidic b-pyridinium hydrogen atoms and the oxygen atom of a water molecule that bridges to the ether oxygen atoms of the third ethylenoxy chain.…”
