Anion bin<strong>di</strong>ng as a conformational and self-assembly trigger<br />

Jonathan W. Steed<br />

Chemistry Department, Durham University, Durham DH1 3LE, UK. Jon.steed@durham.ac.uk<br />

We have designed a number of anion-bin<strong>di</strong>ng containers exhibiting dynamic conformational<br />

behaviour. These systems range from macrobicyclic cryptands (1) exhibiting conformational<br />

twisting to tripodal (2) and tetrapodal hosts (3) exhibiting significant flexibility of the pendant<br />

arms. The containers’ dynamic properties are modulated by anion bin<strong>di</strong>ng. Anion bin<strong>di</strong>ng may<br />

also be used to modulate self-assembly and hence rheological properties in supramolecular gel<br />

phase systems. This lecture explores the scope and uses of this kind of fundamental process in<br />

preparing new supramolecular sensors and materials.<br />

The design and synthesis of novel receptors with the ability to recognize selectively and signal<br />

selected analytes through easy-to-visualize changes in color constitutes a critical goal in<br />

macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry. We have approached this broad objective via the<br />

construction of both cyclic and acyclic pyrrole-based receptors that are able to interact with<br />

cationic, anionic, and neutral substrates through various combinations of metal coor<strong>di</strong>nation,<br />

hydrogen bon<strong>di</strong>ng, electrostatic, and donor-acceptor interactions. In this presentation the focus<br />

will be on systems, such as those shown in Figure 1, that allow for the specific colorimetric<br />

detection of potentially hazardous analytes, inclu<strong>di</strong>ng such canonical risks as high-valent<br />

ra<strong>di</strong>oactive actinide cations, the pertechnetate anion, and electron deficient nitroarene<br />

explosives. Several lead references are given below.<br />
