A model has been described for interpreting the binding of multivalent molecules to interface-immobilized monovalent receptors through multiple, independent interactions. It is based on the concept of effective concentration, C(eff), which has been developed before for multivalent binding in solution and which incorporates effects of lengths and flexibilities of linkers between interacting sites. The model assumes: (i). the interactions are independent, (ii). the maximum number of interactions, p(max), is known, (iii). C(eff) is estimated from (simple) molecular models. Simulations of the thermodynamics and kinetics of multivalent host-guest binding to interfaces have been discussed, and competition with a monovalent competitor in solution has been incorporated as well. The model was successfully used to describe the binding of a divalent guest to self-assembled monolayers of a cyclodextrin host. The adsorption data of more complex guest-functionalized dendrimers, for which p(max) was not known beforehand, was interpreted as well. Finally, it has been shown that the model can aid to deconvolute contributions of multivalency and cooperativity to stability enhancements observed for the adsorption of multivalent molecules to interfaces.

An empirical equation relating electrophoretic mobility and ionic strength was proposed. The equation includes a number of parameters that are found using the mobilities of reference ions: two coefficients in the numerator describing the linear relationship of the multiplier in front of the square root of the ionic strength with the product of the ion mobility in the background electrolyte (BGE) without additives by the modulus of the charge number, raised to a certain power, and also the multiplier in the denominator before the square root of the ionic strength. The proposed equation was tested using the mobilities measured in BGEs with the addition of sodium chloride to adjust ionic strength and sulfated β-cyclodextrin (S-β-CD) for 11 anions with charge numbers from -1 to -4.

While host/guest interactions are widely used to control molecular assembly on surfaces, quantitative information on the effect of surface chemistry on their efficiency is lacking. To address this question, we combined electrochemical characterization with quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring to study host/guest interactions between surface-attached ferrocene (Fc) guests and soluble β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) hosts. We identified several parameters that influence the redox response, β-CD complexation ability, and repellent properties of Fc monolayers, including the method of Fc grafting, the linker connecting Fc with the surface, and the diluting molecule used to tune Fc surface density.

The combination of multiple orthogonal interactions enables hierarchical complexity in self-assembled nanoscale materials. Here, efficient supramolecular polymerization of DNA origami nanostructures is demonstrated using a multivalent display of small molecule host-guest interactions. Modification of DNA strands with cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) and its adamantane guest, yielding a supramolecular complex with an affinity of order 10 m , directs hierarchical assembly of origami monomers into 1D nanofibers.

ConspectusCompared to traditionally used irreversible chemical reactions, dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) including imine formation represents a more advanced technique in the preparation of molecules with complex structures and topologies, whose syntheses require the formation of many bonds. By allowing the occurrence of error checking and self-correcting, it is likely that the target molecules with high enough thermodynamic stability could be self-assembled in high or even quantitative yield. Two questions are raised herein.
