Abstract

Pillar[n]arenes are new macrocyclic host and their organic guest-based supramolecular chemistry has been extensively studied.1 However, their coordination compounds are very rare due to large cavity and lack of metallation site. Recently, we have proposed bicyclic,2 tricyclic,3 and armed4 pillararenes as new build blocks for constructing metallosupramolecules. First, we synthesized a bicyclic pillar[5]thiacrown (rac-L) and resolved its enantiomers (in-pS-L and in-pR-L) (Fig. a).2 The in-pS-L recognizes Hg2+ to trigger the chiral inversion to out-pR-L, and it takes place in the presence of ClO4- or NO3-. The crystallographic approach reveals that the anions act as coordination mode-directing species which play a decisive role on the chiral inversion. Second, the tricyclic pillar[5]‐bis‐dithiacrown shows the dimetalation via two crown subunits and then uptakes CN(CH2)2CN selectively over analogous dinitrile guests with different lengths (Fig. b).3 This is a chemical example of the adaptive guest binding of biological receptors which are rigidified by metalation to recognise substrates precisely. Third, one-pot reaction of a thiopyridyl pillar[5]arene (L) with silver(I) trifluoroacetate in the presence of a linear dinitrile guest C8, [CN(CH2)nCN, n=8], afforded the first example of a 2-D polypseudorotaxane {[Ag(L)(C8)1.5]CF3CO2}n whose guest C8 not only threads into the pillararene unit but also crosslinks the parallel coordinative polymeric arrays (Fig. c).4 The formation of the 2-D polypseudorotaxane is driven by adaptive rearragement of the 1-D backbone to minimize the repulsion between threading C8 and steric complementarity on crosslinking. A formation pathway of the 2-D polypseudorotaxane is proposed. The above works demonstrate a new perspective on metallosupramolecules of pillararenes. References 1.
