We attempted the calculation of an accurate equilibrium constant for the dimerization process of enantiomerically pure Zn-1 using UV-vis dilution experiments. At millimolar concentration Zn-1 is involved in a chemical exchange process between its monomeric and dimeric state that is slow on the 1H NMR timescale. We performed variable-temperature 1H NMR experiments in CDCl3 solution to determine the dimerization constant value at different temperatures and performed a van’t Hoff plot to derive the thermodynamic parameters of the process. The calculated thermodynamic data revealed that the dimerization process is entropy-driven and enthalpically opposed. We also probed the coordination of quinuclidine, 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, 2, to the Zn-1 using UV-vis and 1H NMR titrations in CDCl3 solution. At micromolar concentration the Zn-1 exclusively exists in solution as a monomer and forms a simple 1:1, [Formula: see text], complex with quinuclidine having a stability constant of [Formula: see text]([Formula: see text]) [Formula: see text] 106 M[Formula: see text]. On the other hand, the 1H NMR titrations carried out at 298 K and at millimolar concentration showed that Zn-1 was present in solution as the dimer and formed 1:2, [Formula: see text], and 2:2, [Formula: see text] complexes by coordination to 2. In addition, the 1:1 complex, [Formula: see text] showed a reduced dimerization constant compared to the uncoordinated parent monomer Zn-1. At high quinuclidine concentration, the 1:1 complex, [Formula: see text], derived from the coordinated dimer dissociation was also detected. The 1H NMR spectra of the titrations displayed separate signals for some hydrogen atoms of the Zn-phthalocyanine in each one of the four species. Remarkably, the chemical exchange processes involving free and bound quinuclidine in the monomeric and dimeric complexes showed different kinetics on the NMR timescale.

New thiosemicarbazide-linked acridines 3a–c were prepared and investigated as chemosensors for the detection of biologically and environmentally important anions. The compounds 3a–c were found selective for fluoride (F − ) with no affinity for other anions, i.e. − OAc, Br − , I − , HSO 4 − , SO 4 2− , PO 4 3− , ClO 3 − , ClO 4 − , CN − and SCN − . Further, upon the gradual addition of a fluoride anion (F − ) source (tetrabutylammonium fluoride), a well-defined change in colour of the solution of probes 3a–c was observed. The anion-sensing process was studied in detail via UV–visible absorption, fluorescence and 1 H-NMR experiments. Moreover, during the synthesis of acridine probes 3a–c nickel fluoride (NiF 2 ), a rarely explored transition metal fluoride salt, was used as the catalyst. Theoretical studies via density functional theory were also carried out to further investigate the sensing and anion (F − ) selectivity pattern of these probes.

2,6-Helic[6]arene and its derivatives were synthesized, and their complexation with 1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium and protonated 4,4'-bipyridinium salts were investigated in detail. It was found that the helic[6]arene and its derivatives could all form 1:1 complexes with both 1,1′-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium salts and protonated 4,4'-bipyridinium salts in solution and in the solid state. Especially, the helic[6]arene and its derivatives containing 2-hydroxyethoxy or 2-methoxyethoxy groups exhibited stronger complexation with the guests than the other helic[6]arene derivatives for the additional multiple hydrogen bonding interactions between the hosts and the guests, which were evidenced by 1H NMR titrations, X-ray crystal structures and DFT calculations. Moreover, it was also found that the association constants (K a) of the complexes could be significantly enhanced with larger counteranions of the guests and in less polar solvents. Furthermore, the switchable complexation between the helic[6]arene and protonated 4,4'-bipyridinium salt could be efficiently controlled by acids and bases.

Inherently chiral, barrel-shaped, macrocyclic hosts such as cyclohexanohemicucurbit[n]urils (cycHC[n]) bind zinc porphyrins and trifluoroacetic acid externally in halogenated solvents. In the current study, we tested a set of eighteen organic guests with various functional groups and polarity, namely, thiophenols, phenols, and carboxylic and sulfonic acids, to identify a preference toward hydrogen bond–donating molecules for homologous cycHC[6] and cycHC[8]. Guests were characterized by Hirshfeld partial charges on acidic hydrogens and their binding by 1H and 19F NMR titrations. Evaluation of association constants revealed the complexity of the system and indirectly proved an external binding with stoichiometry over 2:1 for both homologs. It was found that overall binding strength is influenced by the stoichiometry of the formed complexes, the partial atomic charge on the hydrogen atom of the hydrogen bond donor, and the bulkiness of the guest. Additionally, a study on the formation of complexes with halogen anions (Cl− and Br−) in methanol and chloroform, analyzed by 1H NMR, did not confirm complexation. The current study widens the scope of potential applications for host molecules by demonstrating the formation of hydrogen-bonded complexes with multisite hydrogen bond acceptors such as cycHC[6] and cycHC[8].

The synthesis of a new terephthalate-strapped porphyrin is described. This porphyrin, prepared in the form of the free base and corresponding zinc(II) complex, was designed to act as the photo-donor portion of a novel, non-covalent artificial light-harvesting complex, the other, acceptor component of which is comprised of a covalently linked sapphyrin dimer. UV-vis and 1 H NMR spectroscopic analyses were used to establish that strong complexes are formed between the porphyrin terephthalate and sapphyrin dimer components (affinity constants on the order of 105 M−1 in dichloromethane). In these complexes the dicarboxylate portion of the strapped porphyrin is sandwiched between two sapphyrins of an individual dimer. Steady state fluorescence studies of the resulting ensembles support the conclusion that, upon photoexcitation of the porphyrin subunit, energy transfer from the porphyrin to the sapphyrin dimer occurs efficiently. This intra-ensemble, anion-chelation-based energy transfer can be inhibited by the addition of fluoride anion.

A multi-functional chemosensor 1 as silver and sulfide detector was synthesized by the combination of octopamine and 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde. Sensor 1 exhibited a ratiometric fluorescence emission for Ag + from blue to sky. The binding mode of 1 and Ag + turned out to be a 1 : 1 ratio as determined using Job plot and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectral analyses. The sensing mechanism of 1 with silver ion was unravelled by 1 H NMR titrations and theoretical calculations. Sensor 1 also discerned sulfide by enhancing fluorescence intensity and changing colour from yellow to colourless in aqueous solution. The sensing properties of 1 toward S 2− were investigated by using ESI-mass analysis, Job plot and 1 H NMR titrations. Moreover, 1 could be used as a detector for sulfide in a wide pH range.
