Published: May 2006

Short microwave heating of granular potato, waxy corn and tapioca starches with such lipids as cis-9-octadecenoic acid (oleic acid), cis,cis-9,12-octadecadienoic acid (linoleic acid), octadecanoic acid (stearic acid), ethyl cis-9-octadecenoate, ethyl cis,cis-9,12-octadecadienoate and methyl octadecanoate provided microcapsules in which encapsulated guest molecules did not interact with starch microcapsules. On the formation of microcapsules, the lipid guest molecules did not react to starches. The encapsulation yield varied between almost 11-94%.

Designing and realizing new topologies represent one of the most important ways toward developing new structures and functionalities for molecule-based frameworks including SOFs, MOFs, and COFs. Herein, Aldol condensation between 5,10,15,20-tetrayl(tetrakis(([1,1':3',1''-terphenyl]-4,4''-dicarbaldehyde)))-porphyrin (TTEP) and 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine (TMT) affords the vinylene-linked 3D covalent organic framework Por-COF-cya. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) in combination with structural simulation reveals its high crystalline structure with an unprecedented cya topology in the molecule-based frameworks reported thus far.

Mimicking the superstructures and properties of spherical biological encapsulants such as viral capsids and ferritin offers viable pathways to understand their chiral assemblies and functional roles in living systems. However, stereospecific assembly of artificial polyhedra with mechanical properties and guest-binding attributes akin to biological encapsulants remains a formidable challenge. Here we report the stereospecific assembly of dynamic supramolecular snub cubes from 12 helical macrocycles, which are held together by 144 weak C-H hydrogen bonds.

The creation of hosts capable of accommodating different guest molecules may enable these hosts to play useful roles in chemical purifications, among other applications. Metal-organic cages are excellent hosts for various guests, but they generally incorporate rigid structural units that hinder dynamic adaptation to specific guests. Here we report a conformationally adaptable pseudo-cubic cage that can dynamically increase its cavity volume to fit guests with differing sizes.

A bromophenylpyridine derivative (N1) was designed, synthesized, and the molecule was incorporated into the cavity of the cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) as a guest to form a 2:1 host-guest complex. This complex demonstrates good room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) properties in aqueous solution. The host-guest interaction and optical properties of N1@Q[8] in aqueous solution were studied by means of H NMR, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, phosphorescence spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and inverted fluorescence microscopy.
