Reversible guest exchange mechanisms in supramolecular host–guest assemblies

Abstract: Synthetic chemists have provided a wide array of supramolecular assemblies able to encapsulate guest molecules. The scope of this tutorial review focuses on supramolecular host molecules capable of reversibly encapsulating polyatomic guests. Much work has been done to determine the mechanism of guest encapsulation and guest release. This review covers common methods of monitoring and characterizing guest exchange such as NMR, UV-VIS, mass spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and calorimetry and also presents repres… Show more

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] These materials have been studied, for example, from the perspective of exploring the self-assembly of such compounds, 2 to develop receptors, 3,5 to stabilise reactive intermediates or products, and for investigating catalysis within the closed environment of the polyhedral assemblies. 3,4,6 A related field on the study of anion binding has undergone a similar, rapid development.…”

“…While the development of synthetic host-guest systems has not reached the level of enzyme specificity, the characteristics of each synthetic assembly, such as the size, shape, charge, and functional group availability, greatly influence the guest-binding characteristics and have led to remarkable and often unexpected reactivity. 9,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] For example, the increased local concentration upon encapsulation of substrates for bimolecular reactions has been exploited for enhanced reactivity inside of synthetic hosts. By pre-organizing substrates, supramolecular assemblies are able to catalyze cycloadditions or pericyclic reactions such as Diels-Alder reactions.…”

“…[2][3][4][5][6] While the interaction between host and guest molecules is generally the focus of mechanistic studies of host-guest complexes, the interaction of the host-guest complex with other species in solution remains largely unknown, although in principle accessible by diffusion studies. Several NMR techniques are available to monitor diffusion and have recently been reviewed.…”
