The H-bonding in alkylammonium complexes of phosphonate cavitands were studied by mass spectrometric methods and theoretical calculations. The alkylammonium ions included primary, secondary, and tertiary methyl- and ethylammonium ions. Their complexation with mono-, tetra-, and two di-phosphonate cavitands, which differ according to the number and position of H-bond acceptor P = O groups, was evaluated by using different competition experiments, energy-resolved CID, gas-phase H/D-exchange, and ligand-exchange reactions, together with ab initio theoretical optimization of the complexes. The phosphonate cavitands with two or more adjacent P = O groups were found to be selective towards secondary alkylammonium ions, due to simultaneous formation of two stable hydrogen bonds. In the ion-molecule reactions (both H/D- and ligand-exchange), the formation of two stable hydrogen bonds was observed either to slow down the reaction or to completely prevent it. This was, however, limited to situations where two hydrogen bonds are formed between the H-bond donor sites of the alkyl ammonium ion and the vicinal H-bond acceptor sites of the cavitand.

Polymeric Membrane Electrodes Using Calix[4]pyrrole Bis/Tetra-Phosphonate Cavitands as Ionophores for Potentiometric Acetylcholine Sensing with High Selectivity.

A handful of bis/tetra-phosphonate calix[4]pyrroles with recognition sites embedding in hydrophobic cavitands were evaluated for the first time as ionophores for polymeric membrane Ach-selective electrodes. Highly selective potentiometric Ach could be achieved over its analogues, especially for Ch, which differs only by an acetate tail from Ach. The superior performance of the proposed ISEs might be ascribed to a dual-site binding mode, in which the trimethylammonium head and acetate tail were accommodated by the phosphonate group-bridged aryl walls and the bowl-shaped aromatic cavity, through cation-π/charge-dipole interaction and the convergent four N-H···O hydrogen bonds, respectively.

Calix[4]pyrrole phosphonate-cavitands were used as receptors for the design of supramolecular sensors for creatinine and its lipophilic derivative hexylcreatinine. The sensing principle is based on indicator displacement assays of an inherently fluorescent guest dye or a black-hole quencher from the receptor's cavity by means of competition with the creatinine analytes. The systems were thermodynamically and kinetically characterized regarding their 1:1 binding properties by means of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H and P NMR), isothermal titration calorimetry, and optical spectroscopies (UV/vis absorption and fluorescence).

Stimuli-responsive supramolecular assemblies are dynamic systems that can reversibly switch between different states upon external stimuli. In this context, metal coordination offers a reliable strategy for the preparation of stimuli responsive supramolecular architectures. Herein we report the preparation of a solvent-responsive cavitand-lanthanum coordination complex.

A new supra-molecular complex (I) between the tetra-phospho-nate cavitand Tiiii[CH,CH,CH] [systematic name: 2,8,14,20-tetra-propyl-5,11,17,23-tetra-methyl-6,10:12,16:18,22:24,4-tetra-kis-(phenyl-phospho-nato-,')resorcin[4]arene] and mephedrone hydro-choride {CHNO·Cl; systematic name: meth-yl[1-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-1-oxopropan-2-yl]aza-nium chloride} has been obtained and characterized both in solution and in the solid state. The complex of general formula (CHNO)@Tiiii[CH,CH,CH]Cl·CHOH or CHNO·Cl·CHOP·CHOH, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group 2/ with one lattice methanol mol-ecule per cavitand, disordered over two positions with occupancy factors of 0.665 (6) and 0.

Crystallization of tetraphosphonate cavitand Tiiii[H, CH₃, CH₃] in the presence of positively charged amino acids, namely arginine, lysine, or histidine, afforded host-guest complex structures. The X-ray structure determination revealed that in all three structures, the fully protonated form of the amino acid is ditopically complexed by two tetraphosphonate cavitand molecules. Guanidinium, ammonium, and imidazolium cationic groups of the amino acid side chain are hosted in the cavity of a phosphonate receptor, and are held in place by specific hydrogen bonding interactions with the P=O groups of the cavitand molecule.
