Dynamics in complexes of porphyrin cage compounds and viologen-derived guest molecules are investigated by selective exchange NMR spectroscopy (1D EXSY). Exchange rates were found to be independent of excess guest concentration, revealing a dissociative exchange mechanism, which is accompanied by negative activation entropies, indicating significant reorganization of the host-guest complex during dissociation. Nonsymmetric viologen guests with bulky head groups had more unidirectional binding and slower exchange rates than guests with less-bulky head groups. Thermodynamic and kinetic studies revealed that the exchange process is primarily driven by the thermodynamics of binding and that guest binding can be influenced by introducing steric and electronic groups on the host . Exchange studies with guests bearing a polymer chain revealed that both slippage and full dissociation takes place and the rate constants for both processes were determined. The slippage rate constant revealed that for smaller guests exchange takes place nearly exclusively under thermodynamic control.

Host-stabilized charge transfer (HSCT) has been widely utilized in macrocycle-derived supramolecular assemblies and architectures. However, there has been less research attention focused on the direct fabrication of pure organic photocatalysts using HSCT. Herein, four viologen derivatives (m-PV2+, m-BPV2+, d-PV2+, and d-BPV2+) with different electron donor-acceptor (D-A) structures were synthesized.

pH responsive self-assembled supramolecular systems in water hold tremendous promise spanning across the various realms of science and technology. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of benzyl viologen (BV) based amphiphiles and their ability to form pH responsive aggregates with a water soluble anionic dye (electron donor), a polyelectrolyte (PE), and a surfactant. To counter the low solubility of viologen derivatives, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was employed as a solubility promoter and the host-guest complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy.

A novel pH-responsive crystalsomes has been developed using acetal-functionalized pillar[5]arenes (AP[5]) and methyl viologen (MV) through host-guest interactions. The successful synthesis of AP[5] was confirmed via H-NMR spectroscopy, while the formation of the host-guest complex between AP[5] and MV was also verified using ¹H-NMR. The supramolecular assemblies formed at a 1:1 molar ratio of AP[5] to MV exhibited remarkable colloidal stability, a negative surface charge, and a high association constant.

Conductive metal-organic frameworks are of current interest in chemical science because of their applications in chemiresistive sensing, electrochemical energy storage, electrocatalysis, Different strategies have been employed to design conductive frameworks. In this review, we discuss the influence of different types of guest species incorporated within the pores or channels of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous coordination polymers (PCPs) to generate charge transfer pathways and modulate their electrical conductivity. We have classified dopants or guest species into three different categories: (i) metal-based dopants, (ii) molecule and molecular entities and (iii) organic conducting polymers.

Multi-stimuli-responsive chromic materials have immense potential for utilization. Herein, two supramolecular inclusion complexes were prepared by self-assembly of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with dialkylcarboxyl-substituted viologens, '-di(3-carboxy-propyl)-4,4'-bipyridinium dichloride (CPV·Cl) and '-di(6-carboxy-hexyl)-4,4'-bipyridinium dibromide (CHV·Br). The self-assembled inclusion complexes CPV@β-CD and CHV@β-CD in the solid-state exhibited naked-eye photochromism, thermochromism, and electrochromism in response to multiple external stimuli including light, temperature, and electric field, respectively.
