Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Stimuli-responsive host-guest systems are crucial for advanced applications like catalysis and drug delivery.
  • A novel hydrogen-bonded azo-macrocycle (1) was previously developed, featuring light-controlled size modulation via E↔Z photo-isomerization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a multi-responsive host-guest system (azo-macrocycle 1 and 4,4'-bipyridinium salt G1).
  • To demonstrate pH-, photo-, and cation-controlled guest encapsulation and release.
  • To explore the potential of this system in sophisticated supramolecular applications.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis and characterization of the azo-macrocycle host (1) and bipyridinium salt guest (G1).
  • Investigation of host-guest complex formation and dissociation using light (photo-isomerization), pH (acid/base), and cation competition.
  • Spectroscopic and structural analyses to confirm complexation and responsiveness.

Main Results:

  • The azo-macrocycle (1) forms stable complexes with bipyridinium/pyridinium salts (e.g., G1).
  • Light irradiation induces controlled guest capture and release.
  • Reversible binding and release of G1 are achieved using acid and base.
  • Cation competition successfully dissociates the complex (1a•G1).

Conclusions:

  • A versatile multi-responsive host-guest system has been successfully developed.
  • The system demonstrates precise control over molecular encapsulation via external stimuli.
  • These findings offer valuable insights for designing advanced supramolecular systems for targeted applications.
