Article Abstract
Conformational control of aliphatic oligoketones bearing two 1,3-diketone subunits is achieved by molecular recognition with pillar[5]arene. Pillar[5]arene binds to aliphatic ketones, with association constants of ∼10 M, to form pseudorotaxanes. The pseudorotaxanes are locked by BF complexation at the 1,3-diketone sites through quasi-solid-state reactions. X-ray crystallography reveals linear conformations for the axis molecules. The effect of supramolecular conformational restriction is evaluated using an alkyl-linked dyad chromophore system that shows solvatochromism upon intramolecular aggregation.

Here, intramolecular hydrogen bond (IMHBs)-induced rigidity is used for the first time to synthesize macrocyclic arenes. Calix[]azanediyldibenzoates (C[]A, where = 3, 4, or 5) are synthesized through a one-step condensation reaction between dimethyl 2,2'-azanediyldibenzoate and paraformaldehyde. Compared to the monomer, the macrocycles exhibit a fast and significant acidochromic response due to the intramolecular charge transfer that is boosted by the synergistic effect of their adsorption and protonation.

TGF-β receptor I kinase plays a significant role in cancer biology and is a well-established target for cancer drug development, as evidenced by active molecules like Galunisertib (LY2157229). Computational studies were conducted to analyse the catalytic site of TGF-β receptor I kinase, identifying key amino acid residues essential for binding. Based on these findings, Alicyclic fused pyrazole derivatives were designed.

Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions with remarkable rate enhancements and selectivity. Supramolecular catalysis seeks to understand and emulate these outcomes, leveraging noncovalent interactions, electric fields, and controlled active site microenvironments to enhance catalysis in an enzyme-like fashion. The effects of conformational dynamics on supramolecular catalysts and assemblies are, however, relatively unexplored, despite their crucial role in enzyme rate enhancement.

With the aim of assessing the role and impact of pseudohalides on the molecular and supramolecular structures of copper(II)/heavily substituted imidazole complexes, the synthesis and characterization of the complexes {[Cu(N)(HL)]} (1), {[Cu{N(CN)}(HL)]·MeCO} (2·MeCO) and [Cu(NCO)(HL)]·MeCN (3·MeCN) have been carried out; HL is the 4,5-diphenylimidazole ligand. The organic molecule behaves as a monodentate ligand through the pyridine-type nitrogen atom of the imidazole ring. The 1D polymer 1 is made up of undulating {-Cu-(N)-Cu-(N)-} chains, with the HL ligands extending from both sides of the chains.

We describe the preparation, conformational dynamics, and stereoselective recognition characteristics of water-soluble pillar[6]arenes pS-2 and pR-2. These two novel and diastereomeric cavitands comprise a 2,5-bis(ethoxy)pillar[6]arene core with one of six phenylene ring conjugated to two hexaanionic dendrons. Each dendron includes an (S)-glutamic acid amidated with two tris-carboxylic Behera's amines.
