Article Abstract
The thread-link-cut (TLC) approach has previously shown promise as a novel method to synthesize molecular knots. The modular second-generation approach to small trefoil knots described herein involves electrostatic interactions between an electron-rich bis-macrocyclic host compound and electron-deficient guests in the threading step. The bis-macrocyclic host was synthesized in eight steps and 6.6% overall yield. Ammonium and pyridinium guests were synthesized in 4-5 steps. The TLC knot-forming sequence was carried out and produced a product with the expected molecular weight, but, unfortunately, further characterization did not produce conclusive results regarding the topology of the product.

A comparative study on the formation of guest clusters induced by different shapes (or sizes) of exocyclic binding sites embedded in the bis-macrocyclic host isomers is reported. CuI reacts with two regioisomers of a bis-dithiamacrocycle, o-bis-L (W-shaped binding site) and m-bis-L (U-shaped binding site), to yield one-dimensional coordination polymers {[(μ4-Cu4I4)(o-bis-L)]·2CH3CN}n (1a) and [(μ4-Cu2I2)(m-bis-L)]n (2). In 1a, the o-bis-L ligand isomer is linked by a spacious cubane [Cu4I4] cluster, while the m-bis-L ligand in 2 is linked by a smaller rhomboid [Cu2I2] cluster because of the different exocyclic binding sites.

The host-guest interaction between orthophosphate, pyrophosphate and triphosphate anions and four cyclen based bis-macrocycles ligands possessing ortho-(BOC), meta-(BMC), para-xylenyl (BPC) or 2,6-pyridinyl (BPyC) linker was investigated by potentiometric measurements and NMR spectroscopy. Each ligand gave protonated species in aqueous solution that further formed ternary complexes after binding with anions; these complexes were analyzed as a result of hydrogen bond formation and Coulombic attraction between the organic host and the inorganic guest. The equilibrium constants for all the detected species are reported and the selectivity, illustrated with species distribution diagrams, is discussed.
