Thus, investigation on the aggregation behaviour of BO21 holds special importance and may help us to delineate its spectroscopic behaviour. In this contribution, we have investigated the photophysical behaviour of BO21 in presence of a negatively charged supramolecular host, sulfated-β-cyclodextrin (SC), using ground-state absorption, steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopy including ultrafast fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular docking calculations. The spectral characteristics of BO21 display extreme modulations in presence of SCD, with features similar to that observed for BO21 during its metachromatic behaviour. These spectroscopic features have been rationalised in terms of aggregation of BO21 molecules in the vicinity of SCD, which are also extremely sensitive to external stimuli, such as, ionic strength and temperature of the medium.

The latter was obtained with an excellent yield by selective demethylation thanks to a supramolecular strategy. Complexation studies showed that [2.H]+ displays strong affinities for Cl−, NO3 −, HSO4 −, whereas [1.H]+ is non-responsive. The anions are embedded at the level of the small rim, hydrogen-bonded to the protonated cap and the phenol groups. Ternary complexes are obtained in the presence of ammoniums. Finally, [2.H]+ shows high affinity for small zwitterions presenting a carboxylate and an ammonium groups separated by one or two carbon atom(s), not three, due to multi-point recognition. These results open routes to the design of new receptors for a variety of anionic and zwitterionic guests.","PeriodicalId":22084,"journal":{"name":"Supramolecular Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82417365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
