Self-assembly of CuX (X = BF, PF, and SbF) with a pair of chiral bidentate ligands, (12)-(+)- and (12)-(-)-1-(nicotinamido)-2,3-dihydro-1-inden-2-yl-nicotinate (-L or -L), in a mixture solvent including ethanol in a glass vessel gives rise to SiF-encapsulated CuL chiral cage products. The SiF anion from the reaction of X with SiO of the glass-vessel surface acts as a cage template or cage bridge. One of the products, [SiF@Cu(SiF)(-L)]·3CHCl·4EtOH, is one of the most effective heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidation of 3,5-di--butylcatechol. Furthermore, an -DOPA/-DOPA pair is recognizable by the cyclic voltammetry (CV) signals of its combination with chiral cages [SiF@Cu(BF)(- or ,-L)]·4CHCl·2EtOH pair and [SiF@Cu(SiF)(- or -L)]·3CHCl·4EtOH pair.

Integrating two or more materials to construct membranes with heterogeneous pore structures is an effective strategy for enhancing separation performance. Regularly arranging these heterogeneous pores can significantly optimize the combined effect of the introduced components. Porous Organic Cages (POCs), an emerging subclass of porous materials composed of discrete molecules, assemble to form interconnected pores and exhibit permanent porosity in the solid state.

Cooperative Anion-π Catalysis with Chiral Molecular Cages toward Enantioselective Desymmetrization of Anhydrides.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

Beijing National Laboratory for Molecular Sciences, CAS Key Laboratory of Molecular Recognition and Function, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China.

Exploiting novel noncovalent interactions for catalysis design represents a fascinating direction. For the flexible and relatively weak anion-π interactions, manipulation of two or more π-acidic surfaces for cooperative activation is highly desirable. Here, we demonstrate the strategy of cooperative anion-π catalysis based on chiral molecular cages with V-shaped electron-deficient cavities for synergic binding and activation of dicarbonyl electrophiles toward highly enantioselective desymmetrization transformation.

Amino-Acid-Induced Circularly Polarized Luminescence of Octahedral Lanthanide Cage.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

Zhengzhou University, College of Chemistry, No 100. Kexue Avenue, 450001, Zhengzhou, CHINA.

Chiral metal organic cage compounds with excellent circularly polarized luminescent performance have broad application prospects in many fields. Herein, two lanthanide complexes with luminescent properties in the form of racemic hexagonal octahedral cages were synthesized using a tri (β-diketone) ligand. Eu6(C21H6F15O6)8(H2O)6 exhibited red light emission with high quantum yields of 61%.

The [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides is traditionally observed as a competitive minor pathway alongside the thermally allowed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Concerted [1,2]-rearrangements are formally forbidden, with these processes believed to proceed through homolytic C-N bond fission of the ylide, followed by radical-radical recombination. The challenges associated with developing a catalytic enantioselective [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides therefore lie in biasing the reaction pathway to favor the [1,2]-reaction product, alongside controlling a stereoselective radical-radical recombination event.

Restricted-access materials (RAMs) allow biological samples to directly enter the chromatographic column for analysis owing to the steric exclusion function ability for biomolecules and extraction function for small-molecule analytes, which promoting the development of rapid, efficient, and automated in vivo drug analysis. Few reports on chiral RAMs that have been used to analyze enantiomers and positional isomers in serum by direct injection in currently. In this study, a chiral porous organic cage material RCC3 was innovatively introduced into the inner surface of silica gel and modified the outer surface with polyethylene glycol to prepare a novel type of chiral RAM-RCC3, and reported the use of chiral RAM-RCC3 as a stationary phase for the separation of chiral compounds and positional isomers in blank serum using high-performance liquid chromatography.
