Unusual Solid-State Behavior in a Neutral [2]Catenane Bearing a Hydrolyzable Component

Abstract: A template-directed strategy to forming a bis(diimide) macrocycle through an intermediate asymmetric [2]catenane is reported. Saponification of the ester linkages within the crown ether component is much slower in the mechanically interlocked structure when compared to the free crown. The predominance of a single translational isomer leads to a dimeric structure, resulting in the generation of infinite channels within the crystal lattice. [structure: see text]

“…The shift of Δ δ 0.2–0.4 is consistent with other examples of interactions between two aromatic species such as those observed by Fallon et al. between a [2]catenane species bearing interacting NDI and 1/5HQ units . An interesting and different trend is seen for 8 though, bearing the C 6 H 4 group.…”

“…One of the best‐explored motifs is the purple charge‐transfer (CT) complex formed by dialkoxynaphthalene (DAN) donors and naphthalenediimide (NDI) acceptors. These complexes have already been of use to create single‐ and double‐stranded oligo‐DAN–NDI foldamers,23–25 switchable DAN–NDI rotaxanes26, 27 and DAN–NDI catenanes 2830…”

“…Owing to the electron deficiencyo ft he p-conjugated NDI units,d iscrete arraysa nd Borromean rings wereo btained following at wo-step self-assembly of the binuclear clips and carefullys elected linkers. From previousw ork, we have learnedt hat, owingt ot heir electron deficiency,t he NDI derivativescould also be employed as p acceptors to preparer otaxanesa nd catenanest hrough various strategies, for example, template synthesis [11] and dynamic covalentc hemistry. [12] Based on these previous studies, we hypothesized that crown ethers could take parti nt he Cp*M-directedself-assembly process to obtain suprastructures with sophisticated topologies.Here, we report the unprecedented Cp*Rh-a nd Cp*Ir-directed self-assembly of pseudorotaxanes driven by donor-acceptor interactions between electron-deficient NDI units andt he electron-rich crown ether 1,5-dinaphtho[38]crown-10.…”
