A novel cucurbit[6]uril-based (Q[6]) supramolecular assembly {(NH)·Q[6]·(HDTNB)·2HO} (1) with a three-dimensional (3D) framework structure was successfully constructed via outer-surface interactions between Q[6] and a flexible aromatic compound, 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (HDTNB), as a structure-directing agent. It is interesting to find that assembly 1 can selectively capture Ba(ii) cations among the common alkaline-earth metal ions of Mg(ii), Ca(ii), Sr(ii) and Ba(ii), resulting in the formation of an isomorphic 3D assembly {Ba(HO)Q[6]}·(HDTNB) (2). Furthermore, both assemblies 1 and 2 exhibit the selective sensing of Fe(iii) ions through fluorescence quenching, which has rarely been reported for Q[n]-based supramolecular assemblies.
通过葫芦[6]脲(Q[6])与作为结构导向剂的柔性芳香族化合物5,5'-二硫代双(2-硝基苯甲酸)(HDTNB)之间的外表面相互作用,成功构建了一种具有三维(3D)骨架结构的新型基于葫芦[6]脲(Q[6])的超分子组装体{(NH)·Q[6]·(HDTNB)·2HO}(1)。有趣的是,组装体1能够在Mg(ii)、Ca(ii)、Sr(ii)和Ba(ii)等常见碱土金属离子中选择性捕获Ba(ii)阳离子,从而形成同构的3D组装体{Ba(HO)Q[6]}·(HDTNB)(2)。此外,组装体1和2都通过荧光猝灭对Fe(iii)离子表现出选择性传感,这在基于Q[n]的超分子组装体中鲜有报道。
