The host-guest interaction of nitroxide radicals with water-soluble pillar[n]arenes was studied for the first time by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy. Our results showed that this interaction strongly depended on the 4-substituents of nitroxides and the cavity size of pillar[n]arenes. The host-guest interaction with water-soluble pillar[6]arene WP6 effectively increased the thermodynamic and kinetic stability of nitroxide radical 4-AT toward ascorbic acid, thus expanding its potential biomedical applications.
首次通过电子顺磁共振波谱和 NMR 波谱研究了氮氧自由基与水溶性杯芳烃的主客体相互作用。我们的结果表明,这种相互作用强烈依赖于氮氧自由基的 4-取代基和杯芳烃的空腔大小。与水溶性杯[6]芳烃 WP6 的主客体相互作用有效地提高了氮氧自由基 4-AT 对抗坏血酸的热力学和动力学稳定性,从而扩大了其在生物医学中的潜在应用。
