A pair of cyclophane-encapsulated [Cu(μ-E)] complexes (E = S and Se) were characterized by resonant X-ray diffraction anomalous fine structure (DAFS), revealing unexpected polarization among the three Cu sites attributed to long-range effects of π-stacking interactions with cocrystallized benzene molecules. The resonant K-edge energies of individual Cu sites within the cluster molecules were found to vary as a function of distance from the cocrystallized benzene. This pattern was interpreted in the context of T-shaped, edge-to-face π-stacking with the assistance of theoretical charge density difference calculations.

Radical SAM cyclophane synthases catalyze C-C, C-N, and C-O crosslinking reactions in the biosynthesis of bioactive peptide natural products. Here, we studied an uncharacterized rSAM enzyme, HtkB from sp., and found this enzyme to catalyze the formation of a HisC2-to-LysCβ crosslink.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on creating porphyrin-based nanohoops, rings, and cages, which are difficult to synthesize but have desirable properties.
  • The authors describe a template-free method to synthesize a unique bithiophene-bridged porphyrin cyclophane, revealing its strained structure and electronic characteristics through X-ray analysis.
  • The resulting compounds exhibit interesting aromatic properties and reactivity, with the dication being globally aromatic and able to relieve strain through nucleophilic addition with chloride.
