Abstract

The design and synthesis of coordinative supramolecular polygons with open binding sites is described. Coordination-driven self-assembly of 2,6-bis(pyridin-4-ylethynyl)pyridine with 60° and 120° organoplatinum acceptors results in quantitative formation of a supramolecular rhomboid and hexagon, respectively, both bearing open pyridyl binding sites. The structures were determined by multinuclear (³¹P and ¹H) NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry, along with a computational study.

Construction of supramolecular hexagonal metallacycles via coordination-driven self-assembly: Structure, properties and application
2018, Coordination Chemistry Reviews
Citation Excerpt :
The simulated structure of hexagon 4 revealed a chair-like conformation rather than a planar hexagonal one, which might be caused by the slight inward bending of the acetylene units. Another example of a supramolecular hexagonal metallacycles bearing open binding sites was reported in 2011 [83]. A computational study was carried out to estimate the energy difference between supramolecular polygon 6a and its isomers 6b–g. Despite the relatively simple level of theory afforded by Merck molecular force field (MMFF) molecular force calculations, on account of the size of 6a–g, these computational results strongly supported the existence of a hexagonal structure for 6a over its isomers 6b–g. Therefore, only the terminal pyridines of ligand L8 are coordinated at equilibrium (Scheme 4).
The formation and growth of natural objects are affected by the available space and materials. A regular hexagon is one of three regular polygons that can overlap without a plane. Among these three regular polygons (equilateral triangle, regular quadrilateral, and regular hexagon), the regular hexagon occupies the largest area with the smallest amount of material. The construction of supramolecular hexagonal architectures has been of great interest within supramolecular chemistry and materials science. Since supramolecular self-assembly enables the preparation of highly complex supramolecular systems from relatively simple building blocks, various metallosupramolecular hexagonal architectures have been successfully constructed under mild conditions by employing facile coordination-driven self-assembly strategy, and some of the architectures have exhibited wide ranges of applications in the fields of catalysis, electrochemistry, photochemistry, molecular sensing, etc. This review summarizes recent advances in the field of supramolecular hexagonal metallacycles. The design, self-assembly, and applications of various supramolecular hexagonal metallacycles, especially those incorporating functional moieties, will be discussed.
Synthesis and solid state self-assembly of an isatin-thiazoline hybrid driven by three self-complementary dimeric motifs
2014, Tetrahedron Letters
An interesting isatin–thiazoline hybrid molecule having CNNN bonds has been synthesized and its solid state self-assembly behaviour was studied by X-ray diffraction technique. A layered structure based on hexameric supracycles, which are formed through three different self-complementary dimeric motifs, was obtained. The supramolecular forces involved in the stabilization of this structure are NH–O, CH–O, CH–N, CH–π, π–π, CH–Cl and unconventional N–O interactions.
Six-Membered Ring Systems: Pyridine and Benzo Derivatives
2012, Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry
Citation Excerpt :
A Sonogashira coupling of halogenated pyridines to provide C-nucleosides was improved by the co-solvent of HMDS (1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane) and DMF, perhaps via in situ protection of hydroxy and amino groups by the solvent <H1137>. The coordination-driven self-assembly of 2,6-bis(pyridin-4-ylethynl)pyridine, which was formed by Sonogashira coupling, and organoplatinum acceptors leads to supramolecular polygons with open binding sites <TL2188>. Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of boronic acids with halogenated pyridines and thiophenes was employed to form bis-thienylpyridines which can be eventually transformed via additional Pd-catalyzed reactions into thienylpyridyl oligomers as non-peptidic α-helix mimetics <T6145>.
Pyridine, its benzo and pyridine-based compounds play diverse roles in organic chemistry. As ligands, solvents, and catalysts they facilitate reactions; thus descriptions of these new ligands and their applications abound each year. Pyridine-based materials are valued for their optical and physical properties as well as their medical potential. Additionally, pyridine-based natural products continue to be discovered and studied for their properties and to understand their biosynthesis. This review covers the synthesis and functionalization of pyridines and their benzo derivatives (quinolines and isoquinolines) published during 2011; the application of these materials is also highlighted.
