A stepwise self-assembly protocol has been used to synthesize [2]- and [3]catenanes. Firstly, binuclear CpRh/Ir-directed (Cp=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) pseudorotaxanes were prepared through self-assembly, driven by donor-acceptor interactions between electron-deficient naphthalenediimide (NDI) units and an electron-rich crown ether. Subsequently, the pre-organized pseudorotaxanes were applied as tectons for self-assembly of [2]- and [3]catenanes by combination with very simple linkers. The structures of the catenanes were confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and elemental analysis.
已使用逐步自组装方案来合成[2]和[3]轮烷。首先,通过供体-受体相互作用在缺电子萘二酰亚胺(NDI)单元和富电子冠醚之间驱动,制备了双核 CpRh/Ir 导向(Cp=五甲基环戊二烯基)假轮烷。随后,将预组织的假轮烷作为构筑基元,通过与非常简单的连接子结合,用于自组装[2]和[3]轮烷。通过 NMR 光谱、ESI 质谱、单晶 X 射线衍射分析和元素分析确认了轮烷的结构。
