Abstract
A 90-membered macrocycle having two functional moiety, diphenyl-phenanthroline (dpp) and two tri-dentate pyridine-diamide (pda) as templating center has been synthesized from precursor molecules via amide bond formation in 10 steps. dpp and pda are arranged alternatively around the macrocycle in a sequence of dpp-pda-dpp-pda and demeostrated orthogonal behaviour, when treated with transition metal such as Cu(I) and Co(III): It forms figure of eight complexes selectively between dpp units and pda units respectively due to the geomtric preferance. This makes the macrocycle operates in bimodal manner. Interconversion between figure of eight complexes has been witnessed by metal-exchange via demetalation and subsequent re-metalation between orthogonal templating centres. Removal of Cu(I) template is performed using a common and less toxic reagent NH2CH2CH2NH2 and Co(III) by Zn/CH3COOH at RT.
期刊介绍:
ChemistryOpen is a multidisciplinary, gold-road open-access, international forum for the publication of outstanding Reviews, Full Papers, and Communications from all areas of chemistry and related fields. It is co-owned by 16 continental European Chemical Societies, who have banded together in the alliance called ChemPubSoc Europe for the purpose of publishing high-quality journals in the field of chemistry and its border disciplines. As some of the governments of the countries represented in ChemPubSoc Europe have strongly recommended that the research conducted with their funding is freely accessible for all readers (Open Access), ChemPubSoc Europe was concerned that no journal for which the ethical standards were monitored by a chemical society was available for such papers. ChemistryOpen fills this gap.
