Abstract Stimuli-responsive intelligent molecular machines/devices are of current research interest due to their potential application in minimized devices. Constructing capable accomplishing complex missions is challenging, demanding coalescence various functions into one molecule. Here we report the construction chiroptical photoswitches based on azobenzene-fused bicyclic pillar[ n ]arene derivatives, which defined as universal joints (MUJs).

Complexation of achiral pillar[5]arenes with chiral amines induced strong circular dichroism (CD) signals. The CD responses differed drastically depending on the nature amino acid guest, and they significantly varied part them even inverted, upon increasing length alkyl chains guests. Accordingly, this tactic allowed for unprecedented simultaneous enantiomeric structural differentiation α-amino esters homologous molecular hosts.

Unprecedented interheteromacrocyclic hosts charge transfer (CT) crystals were generated by cooling organic solutions containing p-dimethoxybenzene-constituted pillar[5]arene (P5A) and p-benzoquinone-constituted pillar[5]quinone (P5Q). Despite the weak CT interaction known between p-dimethoxybenzene p-benzoquinone lack of formation complexes P5A P5Q in solution phase, cocrystals formed with solvent molecules included into hosts' cavities. Such a cocrystallization arises from an elegant...

Planar chiral cyclophanopillar[5]arenes with a fused oligo(oxyethylene) or polymethylene subring (MUJs), existing as an equilibrium mixture of subring-included (in) and -excluded (out) conformers, respond to hydrostatic pressure exhibit dynamic chiroptical property changes, leading unprecedented pressure-driven chirality inversion the largest ever-reported leap anisotropy (g) factor for MUJ dodecamethylene subring. The susceptivity MUJs, assessed by change in g per unit pressure, is critical...

Mixing γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD), cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) and tetraammonium-bearing axles together led to a spontaneous formation of γ-CD-CB[6]-cowheeled [4]pseudorotaxanes. The well-defined unsymmetrical cavities thus formed enhance the binding affinity towards chiral amines by factors several hundreds show remarkably improved discrimination.

A bicyclic pillar[5]arene derivative fused with a bipyridine side ring, so-called molecular universal joint (MUJ), was synthesized, and the pair of enantiomers resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography enantioresolution. The electrochemiluminescent detection based on ruthenium complex enantiopure MUJ showed excellent chiral discrimination toward certain amino acids.

Butoxycarbonyl (Boc)-protected pillar[4]arene[1]-diaminobenzene (BP) was synthesized by introducing the Boc protection onto A1/A2 positions of BP. The oxygen-through-annulus rotation partially inhibited because presence middle-sized substituents. We succeeded in isolating enantiopure RP (RP, RP, and RP)- SP (SP, SP, SP)-BP, studied their circular dichroism (CD) spectral properties. As substituent is not large enough to completely prevent flip benzene units, BP-f1 underwent racemization...
