Solution-phase molecular recognition of an azafullerene-quinoline dyad by a face-to-face porphyrin-dimer tweezer

Abstract

Azafullerene C59N was modified by a pentafluoroquinoline (FQ) derivative, the amphoteric quinoline domain was utilized for the molecular recognition of C59N-FQ by a porphyrin-dimer (H2P)2 and host–guest interactions in (H2P)2/C59N-FQ were assessed.

First Synthesis of the Inherently Chiral Trans‐4′ Bisadduct of C59N Azafullerene by Using Cyclo‐[2]‐dodecylmalonate as a Tether

“…and C 59 N + , have been widely explored for the preparation of RC 59 N monoadducts through radical transfer and nucleophilic addition reactions [7] . Accordingly, the incorporation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, [8] photoactive moieties such as corrole, [9] porphyrins, [8a,10] phthalocyanine, [11] perylene, [12] ferrocene, [13] pentafluoroquinoline, [14] oligophenylenevinylenes [15] and nanoparticles [16] on C 59 N has been accomplished. Although the vast majority of the reported C 59 N‐based materials is oriented to monoadduct derivatives of the type RC 59 N, the field of multiple additions on the azafullerene cage awaits exploration.…”
