Here we report the construction of two types of barrel-shaped macrocyclic assemblies, with trigonal antiprismatic Fe<sup>II</sup><sub>6</sub>L<sub>6</sub> and square antiprismatic Fe<sup>II</sup><sub>8</sub>L<sub>8</sub> architectures, from Fe<sup>II</sup> and boron-containing tritopic ligands. Two factors, the steric hindrance of ligands and the preferred coordination angles at different vertices, were observed to regulate the dihedral angles between adjacent ligands, leading to the formation of the structures observed. The effects of ligand steric hindrance led to the formation of a Fe<sup>II</sup><sub>6</sub>L<sub>6</sub> trigonal antiprism, which efficiently encapsulated persistent environmental pollutant perfluorosulfonate anions. In contrast with the iminopyridine chelating groups of the Fe<sup>II</sup><sub>6</sub>L<sub>6</sub> structure, the incorporation of azopyridine moieties coordinated to the Fe<sup>II</sup> centres not only increased the vertex opening angle, resulting in the construction of a Fe<sup>II</sup><sub>8</sub>L<sub>8</sub> square antiprism, but also enabled the redox-driven reversible disassembly of this structure. The design strategies that have enabled the construction of these antiprismatic macrocycles may provide insight into the design principles governing the formation of more complex functional assemblies.\u0000<figure><img alt=\"\" data-lg-src=\"/cms/asset/c14fdcda-d303-4e80-bd7f-cf2d2c1744b4/keyimage.jpg\" data-src=\"/cms/asset/a25238e4-e4eb-4f88-b7fe-13e15064152a/keyimage.jpg\" src=\"/specs/ux3/releasedAssets/images/loader-7e60691fbe777356dc81ff6d223a82a6.gif\"/><ul>\u0000<li>Download figure</li>\u0000<li>Download PowerPoint</li>\u0000</ul>\u0000</figure>","PeriodicalId":9810,"journal":{"name":"CCS Chemistry","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140887948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the typical US frequency used for mechanochemistry is around 20 kHz, producing inertial cavitation that exceeds the tolerance threshold of biological systems. Here, high-intensity focused US (HIFU) as a mechanical stimulus is introduced to drive the activation of disulfide mechanophores in hyperbranched star polymers (HBSPs) and microgels (MGLs). The mechanism of molecular release is attributed to the thiol-disulfide exchange reaction and subsequent intramolecular cyclization. We reveal that HBSPs and MGLs effectively transduce HIFU as mechanical input to chemical output, demonstrated by the quantification of the release of fluorescent umbelliferone (UMB). Moreover, an in vitro study of drug release is carried out using camptothecin as the model drug, which is covalently loaded in MGLs, demonstrating the potential of our system for controlled drug delivery to cancer cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":9810,"journal":{"name":"CCS Chemistry","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140837197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we showed that the impact of organic acids on NCA polymerization was dependent on their pKa values in dichloromethane. While stronger acids like trifluoroacetic acids completely blocked the chain propagation as expected, weaker acids such as acetic acids accelerated the polymerization rate instead. The addition of acids not only protonated the propagating amino groups but also activated NCA monomers, whose balance determined the accelerating or inhibitory effect. Additionally, the acid-assisted polymerization exhibited one-stage kinetics that differed from conventional cooperative covalent polymerizations, resulting in excellent control over molecular weights even with an accelerating rate. The pKa-dependence inspired us to turn the inhibitory acids into accelerating acids on demand, promoting the controlled polymerization from non-purified NCA monomers. This work highlights the possibility to change the conventional understanding of an activator /inhibitor by altering reaction conditions, which not only sheds light on the design of new accelerating strategy, but also offers a practical strategy to prepare polypeptide materials in an efficient and controlled manner.\u0000<figure><img alt=\"\" data-lg-src=\"/cms/asset/15caeb88-62e5-48bd-8675-a3267b643c82/keyimage.jpg\" data-src=\"/cms/asset/dfec418b-12d4-42f1-9b39-0530976ebf8d/keyimage.jpg\" src=\"/specs/ux3/releasedAssets/images/loader-7e60691fbe777356dc81ff6d223a82a6.gif\"/><ul>\u0000<li>Download figure</li>\u0000<li>Download PowerPoint</li>\u0000</ul>\u0000</figure>","PeriodicalId":9810,"journal":{"name":"CCS Chemistry","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140651307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
