Abstract:Two thread-shaped cations, pyridinium nicotinamide and imidazolium, as their chloride and hexafluorophosphate salts, were studied with regards to complexation with hydrogen-bonddonating acyclic and macrocyclic ligands. In the latter case, the cations form pseudorotaxanes templated by the chloride anion but not hexafluorophosphate. This formation is a function of the coupling of ion-pairing between the cation and chloride anion and subsequent recognition of the anion by the macrocyclic diamide, which provides t… Show more
“…The formation of this latter product is evidenced by the appearance of a broad band at approximately 370 nm in the UV/Vis spectrum, features that correspond to color change from colorless to pale yellow. Consistent with this proposed mechanism, it was found that pseudorotaxane 72 is not formed in protic solvents because of competition from the solvents 83,84. In contrast, the permanently interlocked [2]- and [3]-catenanes 74 and 75 can be formed from the ion pair receptor 70 and the organic ion pair 73 by ring-closing metathesis (Fig.…”
Section: Ion Pair Receptors That Contain Amide Groups For Anion Resupporting
Compared with simple ion receptors, which are able to bind either a cation or an anion, ion pair receptors bearing both a cation and an anion recognition site offer the promise of binding ion pairs or pairs of ions strongly as the result of direct or indirect cooperative interactions between co-bound ions. This critical review focuses on the recent progress in the design of ion pair receptors and summarizes the various binding modes that have been used to accommodate ion pairs (110 references).

“…The chloride anion-templated RCM reaction was also attempted with the 5-nitroisophthalamide derivative 3 and the cyclic product (14) isolated in 60% yield after purification (Fig. 4).…”
Anion templation is used to develop a general method for rotaxane synthesis. The anion-templated synthesis of three new [2]rotaxanes containing positively charged pyridinium axles and neutral isophthalamide macrocyclic components is described. The incorporation of electron withdrawing substituents, such as the nitro group, into the 5-position of an isophthalamide bis-vinyl acyclic precursor results in a significant improvement in [2]rotaxane assembly yields. Rotaxane anion binding strengths are also enhanced whilst the rotaxane's unique interlocked binding domain ensures selectivity for chloride--the templating anion--is maintained.
“…Another important difference is that axles 19 and 20 do not have any groups that are prone to forming strong hydrogen bonds with any of the macrocycles, while the phenolate formed upon deprotonation of 21 is capable of strong hydrogen bonding to two amide groups of the macrocycles. In dichloromethane, a binding constant of K > 10 5 M −1 was determined The strong binding of phenolates and other anions to tetralactam macrocycles in solution has been utilized for designing template effects for efficient rotaxane synthesis [20][21][22][28][29][30][31][32][33]. In the gas phase, one might expect the binding to be even stronger because there is no competition with the solvent anymore.…”
