Several new multiply hydrogen bonded complexes have been studied to determine their strength and the specificity with which they form. While many factors contribute to the stability of multiply hydrogen bonded complexes, it appears that the arrangement of the hydrogen bond donor and acceptor groups is a particularly good predictor of binding strength. The results are consistent with W. L. Jorgensen’s secondary electrostatic hypothesis. The heterocyclic recognition units that have been synthesized may serve as the basis for constructing new synthetic hosts or new self-assembling systems.

Aminopyrimidine derivatives are biologically important as they are components of nucleic acids and drugs. The crystals of two new salts, namely cytosinium 6-chloronicotinate monohydrate, C4H6N3O+·C6H3ClNO2−·H2O, (I), and 5-bromo-6-methylisocytosinium hydrogen sulfate (or 2-amino-5-bromo-4-oxo-6-methylpyrimidinium hydrogen sulfate), C5H7BrN3O+·HSO4−, (II), have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The pyrimidine ring of both compounds is protonated at the imine N atom. In hydrated salt (I), the primaryR22(8) ring motif (supramolecular heterosynthon) is formedviaa pair of N—H...O(carboxylate) hydrogen bonds. The cations, anions and water molecule are hydrogen bonded through N—H...O, N—H...N, O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, formingR22(8),R32(7) andR55(21) motifs, leading to a hydrogen-bonded supramolecular sheet structure. The supramolecular double sheet structure is formedviawater–carboxylate O—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions between the anions and the cations. In salt (II), the hydrogen sulfate ions are linkedviaO—H...O hydrogen bonds to generate zigzag chains. The aminopyrimidinium cations are embedded between these zigzag chains. Each hydrogen sulfate ion bridges two cationsviapairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds andvice versa, generating twoR22(8) ring motifs (supramolecular heterosynthon). The cations also interact with one anotherviahalogen–halogen (Br...Br) and halogen–oxygen (Br...O) interactions.

Abstract Self-assembling peptides have the ability to spontaneously aggregate into large ordered structures. The reversibility of the peptide hydrogen bonded supramolecular assembly make them tunable to a host of different applications, although it leaves them highly dynamic and prone to disassembly at the low concentration needed for biological applications. Here we demonstrate that a secondary hydrophobic interaction, near the peptide core, can stabilise the highly dynamic peptide bonds, without losing the vital solubility of the systems in aqueous conditions. This hierarchical self-assembly process can be used to stabilise a range of different β-sheet hydrogen bonded architectures.

A simple design strategy for a facile and direct entry into hydrogen-bonded peptide nanotubes is delineated with polymethylene-bridged cystine-based macrocycles. The key feature of the design is the placement of a pair of self-complementary hydrogen-bonding (NH–CO or NH–CO–NH) groups at almost opposite poles of the ring. A large variety of cyclobisamides and bisureas prepared in a single step by direct condensation of commercially available 1,ω-alkane dicarbonyl dichloride or diisocyanate with either cystine diOMe or its extended bispeptide were examined by X-ray crystallography and shown to possess an inherent property of self-assembling into hydrogen-bonded, open-ended, hollow tubular structures. The totally hydrophobic interior of the cyclobisamide tubes creates a micro environment capable of solubilizing highly lipophilic substances in water. The cyclic bisurea tubes are demonstrated to act as excellent receptors for selective binding to 1,ω-alkane dicarboxylates. The scope of the design is extended to the creation of tubular structures by stacking of rings through aromatic π-π interactions.
