Area of Science:

  • Organic Chemistry
  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Macrocyclic compounds are crucial in host-guest chemistry and materials science.
  • Radialenes, a class of cyclic polyenes, offer unique structural and electronic properties.
  • Pi-extended systems enhance conjugation and can influence molecular recognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize novel polyenyne macrocycles incorporating pi-extended [9]- and [12]radialene frameworks.
  • To investigate the conformational dynamics and structural properties of these macrocycles.
  • To explore the host-guest capabilities of the synthesized macrocycles, particularly for cation binding.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of polyenyne macrocycles with specific radialene cores.

  • Dynamic Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to study restricted rotation and solution structures.
  • Characterization of macrocyclic cavity sizes and guest binding properties.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful synthesis of polyenyne macrocycles with [9]- and [12]radialene frameworks.
    • Demonstration of restricted rotation of aromatic rings within the macrocycles.
    • Determination of D3- and D4-symmetric structures in solution via dynamic NMR.
    • Identification of small to medium-sized inner cavities in the macrocycles.
    • Evidence of silver cation incorporation within the cavity of the pi-extended [9]radialene macrocycle.

    Conclusions:

    • The synthesized polyenyne macrocycles possess unique structural features due to restricted rotation.
    • Dynamic NMR is effective in characterizing the solution-state symmetry and dynamics.
    • The radialene macrocycles show potential for host-guest chemistry, particularly cation binding.
