We herein describe the preparation, characterization, and recognition characteristics of novel hexapodal capsule composed of two benzenes joined by six hydrogen bonding (HB) groups to encircle space. This barrel-shaped host was obtained by reversible imine condensation of hexakis-aldehyde and hexakis-amine in the presence of oxyanions or halides acting as templates. Fascinatingly, capsule includes 18 HB donating (C-H and N-H) and 12 HB accepting groups (C═O and C═N) surrounding a binding pocket (78 Å). In this regard, the complexation of fluoride, chloride, carbonate, sulfate, and hydrogen phosphate was probed by NMR spectroscopy (DMSO) and X-ray diffraction analysis to disclose the adaptive nature of undergoing an adjustment of its conformation to complement each anionic guest. Furthermore, the rate by which encapsulated chloride was substituted by sulfate or hydrogen phosphate was slow (>7 days) while the stability of [SO⊂] was greatest in the series with > 10 M in highly competitive DMSO. With facile access to , the stage is set to probe this modular, polyvalent, and novel host to further improve the extraction of tetrahedral oxyanions from waste and the environment or control their chemistry in living systems.

Supramolecular hosts bind to inorganic anions at a fast rate and select them in proportion with thermodynamic stability of the corresponding [anion⊂host] complexes, forming in a reversible manner. In this study, we describe the action of hexapodal capsule 1 and its remarkable ability to select anions based on a large span of rates by which they enter this host. The thermodynamic affinity of 1 toward eighteen anions extends over eight orders of magnitude (0

Discrete spherical metallo-organic capsules at the nanometer scale, especially those constructed from unique building blocks, have received significant attention recently because of their fascinating molecular aesthetics and potential applications due to their compact cavities. Here, the synthesis and characterization of a hexapodal, branched terpyridine ligand are presented along with the nearly quantitative self-assembly of the resulting tetrameric metallo-nanosphere. This metallo-nanosphere exhibited four quasi-triangular and six rhombus-like facets, all of which were made by the same hook-like bis-terpyridine.
