Article Abstract

We report the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties of macrocyclic ,'-diaryl--carborane derivatives and modulation of the luminescence properties by adding cations through the regulation of excited-state structural relaxation. It was demonstrated that the emission enhancement and suppression of the non-radiative decay process can be induced upon cation recognition.

Chiral macrocycles hold significant importance in various scientific fields due to their unique structural and chemical properties. By controlling their size, shape, and substituents, chiral macrocycles offer a platform for designing and synthesizing highly efficient catalysts, chemosensors, and functional materials. We have recently made strides in developing macrocyclic organocatalysts; however, their synthesis remains challenging.

Intelligent controlled-release drug delivery systems that are responsive to various external stimuli have garnered significant interest from researchers and have broad applications in the biomedical field. Aromatic macrocycles, including calixarenes and pillararenes, are considered ideal candidates for the construction of supramolecular drug delivery systems because of their simple synthesis, ease of modification, electron-rich and hydrophobic cavities, and highly selective molecular recognition. In recent years, numerous supramolecular drug delivery systems utilizing aromatic macrocycles have been developed.

Zinc(II) bis(triazolyl)(pyridyl)amine (Zn(BTPA)) complexes on the end of α-amino-iso-butyric acid (Aib) foldamers are able to transfer chirality from bound anions to the helical foldamer body. Zn(BTPA) could be obtained by simple synthetic methodology that allowed a range of functional groups to be installed around the binding site, exemplified with a fluorophore, a macrocyclic bridge and Aib itself. Changing functional group did not prevent chiral ligands from controlling foldamer conformation, although differences in complexation kinetics and equilibria were observed.

The failure of the therapeutic administration of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) enzymes to prevent oxidative stress has fostered the development of metal complexes that are capable of mimicking their activity. In the present work, two new pyridine azacyclophane ligands capable of coordinating Cu and Fe to give rise to mimetics with high activities toward disproportionation of the superoxide anion or hydrogen peroxide, depending on the metal ion, have been prepared. Although the Cu complexes have some of the highest SOD activities reported to date, they are completely inactive toward HO disproportionation.

The discovery of new weak supramolecular interactions and supramolecular synthons is essential for directing self-assembly processes with enhanced precision, diversity, and functionality in complex molecular architectures. Here, we report the controlled self-assembly of diverse supramolecular architectures by a new directional bonding approach through the integration of radical-based dynamic covalent chemistry and supramolecular synthons. A novel macrocyclic synthon, , with a linear direction is constructed via radical-based dynamic covalent bonds from the phenothiazine building block substituted with two dicyanomethyl radicals.
