Coordination-driven self-assembly of dibenzo-18-crown-6 functionalized Pt(II) metallacycles

Zibin Zhang, Yu Yao, Lang He, Tao Hong, Shijun Li, Feihe Huang, Peter J. Stang

Summary: Coordination-driven self-assembly was utilized to construct two metallacycles using a dicarboxylate-functionalized dibenzo-18-crown-6 in combination with either a 0 degrees anthracene-based clip-type acceptor or a 60 degrees phenanthrene-based acceptor. The angularities of these components enabled the formation of a [2 + 2] rectangle and a [3 + 3] triangle, respectively. The synthesis, characterization, and host-guest chemistry of the two metallacycles were described and supported by 31P{1H}, 1H NMR spectra, and electrospray mass spectrometry.

Topological effect on fluorescence emission of tetraphenylethylene-based metallacages

Yuhang Liu, Zhewen Guo, Yuchen Guo, Guangfeng Li, Shengbing Yang, Xuzhou Yan, Yi Shen, Jinbing Wang

Summary: A selective formation of a barrel-shaped or a ball-shaped fluorescent metallacage was achieved by controlling the shape and stoichiometry of the building blocks. The ball-shaped metallacage exhibited stronger and blue-shifted fluorescence compared to the barrel-shaped one in dilute solutions, while a reversal of fluorescence intensities was observed in the aggregation process. This work demonstrates the impact of subtle geometrical factors on the photophysical properties of supramolecular coordination complexes.

Polymerization-Induced Crystallization of Dopant Molecules: An Efficient Strategy for Room-Temperature Phosphorescence of Hydrogels

Huaqiang Ju, Haoke Zhang, Li Xin Hou, Min Zuo, Miao Du, Feihe Huang, Qiang Zheng, Zi Liang Wu

Summary: We propose a facile strategy to achieve room-temperature phosphorescence in conventional hydrogels by polymerization-induced crystallization of dopant molecules, leading to clusterization-induced phosphorescence. Crown ethers dissolved in a concentrated acrylamide aqueous solution crystallize during polymerization to form large spherulites in the hydrogel, resulting in carbonyl clusters and phosphorescence emission. This strategy is universally applicable to hydrogels with different polymeric matrices and dopant molecules. The development of hydrogels with mechanical and phosphorescent properties holds great potential in the biomedical and engineering fields.

Controllable Secondary Through-Space Interaction and Clusteroluminescence

Zuping Xiong, Jianyu Zhang, Lei Wang, Yuan Xie, Yipu Wang, Zujin Zhao, Haoke Zhang, Jing Zhi Sun, Feihe Huang, Ben Zhong Tang

Summary: Nonconjugated clusteroluminogens (CLgens), such as proteins and polystyrene, have become increasingly important in photophysics due to their advantages over traditional conjugated dyes in biological applications. However, their weak visible emissions in the aggregate state have hindered their development. This study proposes a strategy to construct a higher-level intramolecular through-space interaction (TSI) in multi-aryl-substituted alkanes, resulting in efficient clusteroluminescence (CL) with high luminescence quantum yield and long emission wavelength.

Insights into the Correlation of Cross-linking Modes with Mechanical Properties for Dynamic Polymeric Networks

Jingxi Deng, Ruixue Bai, Jun Zhao, Guoquan Liu, Zhaoming Zhang, Wei You, Wei Yu, Xuzhou Yan

Summary: Simultaneously introducing covalent and supramolecular cross-links into one system to construct dually cross-linked networks has proven to be an effective approach for preparing high-performance materials. This study investigates the features and advantages of dually cross-linked networks compared to those with individual covalent or supramolecular cross-linking points. The results reveal that the dual cross-linking strategy endows the dually cross-linked polymer network (DPN) with the integrated advantages of covalent polymer networks (CPN) and supramolecular polymer networks (SPN). The DPN exhibits excellent toughness and ductility similar to SPN due to the energy dissipative ability of host-guest complexes, while the covalent cross-links contribute to the structural stability and quick deformation recovery capacity comparable to CPN. Moreover, the DPN demonstrates the strongest breaking stress and puncture resistance, showcasing the unique property advantages of the dual cross-linking method.

Mechanically Interlocked [2]Rotaxane Aerogels with Tunable Morphologies and Mechanical Properties

Zhen Luo, Xinhai Zhang, Jun Zhao, Ruixue Bai, Chunyu Wang, Yuanhao Wang, Dong Zhao, Xuzhou Yan

Summary: Mechanical bonds have been used to construct mechanically interlocked aerogels (MIAs) with adaptivity and multifunctionality. However, fabricating MIAs with precise chemical structures and dynamic features is still challenging. In this study, we present MIAs carrying dense [2]rotaxane units, which provide stability and flexibility to the aerogel network. The chemical structure of [2]rotaxane allows for the fabrication of precise and full-scale mechanically interlocked networks using diverse solvents. Furthermore, the dynamic nature of [2]rotaxane allows for modulation of the morphologies and mechanical performances of MIAs under chemical stimuli. We hope that understanding the structure-property relationship in MIAs will contribute to the development of mechanically interlocked materials and provide new opportunities for constructing smart materials with multifunctionalities.

Phase Behavior and Liquid Crystalline Ordering of [2]Catenated Molecular Systems

Xintian Xie, Liang Wu, Huai Sun, Xuzhou Yan, Xinyuan Zhu

Summary: In this study, coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation is used to investigate the thermodynamics and phase behavior of [2]catenane. The mechanical bond in [2]catenane not only destabilizes the packing between molecular rings but also provides additional internal degrees of freedom. The [2]catenane molecule undergoes a conformation transition from free-rolling to cross-stacking with respect to density increase, and exhibits a smectic layering structure with high free volume, showing cubatic ordering due to the interpenetration of macrocycles.

Formation of polyrotaxane crystals driven by dative boron-nitrogen bonds

Xuedong Xiao, Ding Xiao, Guan Sheng, Tianyu Shan, Jiao Wang, Xiaohe Miao, Yikuan Liu, Guangfeng Li, Yihan Zhu, Jonathan L. Sessler, Feihe Huang

Summary: The integration of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) into purely organic crystalline materials has been achieved using a dative boron-nitrogen bond-driven self-assembly strategy, resulting in the preparation of polyrotaxane crystals. The polyrotaxane structure of the crystalline material was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and cryogenic high-resolution low-dose transmission electron microscopy. The polyrotaxane crystals exhibit enhanced softness and greater elasticity compared to nonrotaxane polymer controls, attributed to the synergistic microscopic motion of the rotaxane subunits. This work highlights the importance of integrating MIMs into crystalline materials.

Reductive cyclodimerization of chalcones: exploring the self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrosynthesis

Mauro Garbini, Andrea Brunetti, Riccardo Pedrazzani, Magda Monari, Massimo Marcaccio, Giulio Bertuzzi, Marco Bandini

Summary: The self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrolysis was found to be helpful in a multistage chemo- and diastereoselective electrochemically promoted cyclodimerization of chalcones. Through a series of reductive events, densely functionalized cyclopentanes with five contiguous stereocenters were obtained (25 examples, yields up to 95%, dr values up to >20:1). Further experimental and electrochemical investigations indicated the crucial role of dynamic kinetic resolution of the aldol intermediate in the reaction mechanism.
