On the basis of a combination of new structural data (eleven single-crystal structure determinations are presented) and information from the Cambridge Structural Database, it has been shown that self-complementary hydrogen-bond based amide...amide dimers can be relied upon as effective supramolecular synthons for the assembly and organization of acac- and paddle-wheel complexes of a variety of metal(II) ions. The targeted molecular recognition event and intended extended one-dimensional motif appear with a supramolecular yield of 78% (a total of 28 structures were examined). Despite the fact that the hydrogen bonds that give rise to the R2(2)(8) motif can be disrupted by both carboxylate- and acac-ligands, as well as by solvent molecules, they remain remarkably resilient and therefore represent useful synthetic tools in inorganic crystal engineering.

An Easy Access to Organic Salt-Based Stimuli-Responsive and Multifunctional Supramolecular Hydrogels.

Chemistry

June 2016

Department of Organic Chemistry, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, 2A & 2B Raja S. C. Mullick Road, Kolkata, 700032, India.

By exploiting orthogonal hydrogen bonding involving supramolecular synthons and hydrophobic/hydrophilic interactions, a new series of simple organic salt based hydrogelators derived from pyrene butyric acid and its β-alanine amide derivative, and various primary amines has been achieved. The hydrogels were characterised by microscopy, table-top rheology and dynamic rheology. FTIR, variable-temperature (1) H NMR and emission spectroscopy established the role of various supramolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking in hydrogelation.

In this article, a polarizable dipole-dipole interaction model is established to estimate the equilibrium hydrogen bond distances and the interaction energies for hydrogen-bonded complexes containing peptide amides and nucleic acid bases. We regard the chemical bonds N-H, C=O, and C-H as bond dipoles. The magnitude of the bond dipole moment varies according to its environment.

Single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) topochemical polymerizations of diacetylenes can yield nearly defect-free conjugated polymer crystals unattainable by other methods. Aryl-substituted diacetylenes with their potentially greater conjugation have been targeted for years, but until now no one has reported a SCSC polymerization of any aryl-substituted diacetylene. This is presumably due to the rigidity of such diaryl-substituted monomers as well as the lack of control over the supramolecular structure.

Demonstration of an alternative mechanism for G-to-G cross-link formation.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2005

Department of Chemistry, University of Missouri-Columbia, 605 South College Avenue, Columbia, Missouri 65211, USA.

The cross-link dG-to-dG is an important product of DNA nitrosation. Its formation has commonly been attributed to nucleophilic substitution of N2 in a guaninediazonium ion by guanine, while recent studies suggest guanine addition to a cyanoamine derivative formed after dediazoniation, deprotonation, and pyrimidine ring-opening. The chemical viability of the latter mechanism is supported here by the experimental demonstration of rG-to-aG formation via rG addition to a synthetic cyanoamine derivative.
