Unlike common polyaromatic hydrocarbons, acridine is a characteristic compound bearing both π-stackable large surfaces and a protonable nitrogen atom. Here we report the first synthesis of a supramolecular capsule with multiple acridine panels. In water, the assembly and disassembly of the capsule reversibly occur under neutral and acidic conditions, respectively (≥10 cycles). Notably, the pH-responsive capsule encapsulates a variety of large hydrophobic compounds (up to 1.6 nm in diameter) such as coumarins, metallophthalocyanines and subphthalocyanine in neutral water and subsequently releases them by simple addition of acid.
与常见的多环芳烃不同,吖啶是一种具有π-可堆叠大表面和可质子化氮原子的特征性化合物。在此,我们报告了首个具有多个吖啶面板的超分子胶囊的合成。在水中,该胶囊的组装和解组装分别在中性和酸性条件下可逆发生(≥10个循环)。值得注意的是,这种pH响应型胶囊在中性水中能包封多种大的疏水性化合物(直径达1.6 nm),如香豆素、金属酞菁和亚酞菁,随后通过简单添加酸将它们释放出来。
