This study explores hydrogen-bonded capsules in protic solvents. The findings reveal that guest molecules influence capsule stability, suggesting design principles for water-accessible capsules.

Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Organic Chemistry

Background:

  • Hydrogen-bonded capsules are supramolecular structures with potential applications in molecular recognition and encapsulation.
  • Understanding their behavior in protic solvents is crucial for designing functional systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the encapsulation kinetics and thermodynamics of hydrogen-bonded capsule 1.1 in protic solvents.
  • To determine the mechanism of guest exchange within the capsule.
  • To establish guidelines for designing stable capsules for use in aqueous environments.

Main Methods:

  • Conventional proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR) spectroscopy was employed.
  • Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the encapsulation process were measured.

Main Results:

  • Encapsulation exhibits positive enthalpies and entropies, indicating solvent molecule release.
  • Capsule dissociation-association rates match guest exchange rates, suggesting complete capsule dissociation facilitates guest exchange.
  • Capsule stability in protic solvents is highly dependent on the encapsulated guest, with dimethylstilbene 8 showing the best performance.

Conclusions:

  • Guest exchange in hydrogen-bonded capsule 1.1 occurs via complete capsule dissociation in protic solvents.
  • The choice of guest is critical for capsule stability in protic media.
  • These findings provide a foundation for developing hydrogen-bonded capsules functional in water.
