Abstract The development of efficient drug delivery systems is essential for improving the efficacy and safety cancer drugs, particularly aggressive difficult‐to‐treat cancers. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are emerging as innovative porous nanomaterials in (DDS), due to their unique properties, including metal‐free skeleton, predetermined structures pore geometries, high porosity, large surface area, facile modification potential, good biocompatibility. These characteristics make COFs...
Molecular Borromean rings (BRs) is one of the rare topology among interlocked molecules. Template-free synthesis BRs via coordination-driven self-assembly tetracene-based Ru(II) acceptor and ditopic pyridyl donors reported. NMR single-crystal XRD analysis observed sequential transformation a fully characterized monomeric rectangle to molecular vice versa. Crystal structure revealed that particular was enforced by appropriate geometry metallacycle multiple parallel-displaced π-π interactions...
The coordination-driven self-assembly of an anthracene-functionalized ditopic pyridyl donor and a tetracene-based dinuclear Ru(II) acceptor resulted in interlocked metalla[2]catenane, [M2L2]2, methanol corresponding monorectangle, [M2L2], nitromethane. Subsequently, guest template, solvent, concentration effects allowed the to be reversibly fine-tuned among monorectangle catenane structures.
Solar light-driven fuel production from carbon dioxide using organic photocatalysts is a promising technique for sustainable energy sources. Band gap engineering in improving efficiency and fulfilling the requirements highly anticipated. Here, we present new strategy to engineer band covalent framework (COF) by varying push–pull electronic effect. To implement this strategy, have designed synthesized four different COFs tripodal amine...
Elucidating the underlying photochemical mechanisms of action (MoA) photodynamic therapy (PDT) may allow its efficacy to be improved and could set stage for development new classes PDT photosensitizers. Here, we provide evidence that "photoredox catalysis in cells," wherein key electron transport pathways are disrupted, constitute a general MoA associated with PDT. Taking cellular donor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide as an example, have found well-known photosensitizers, such Rose Bengal,...
Abstract A molecular Solomon link was synthesized in high yield through the template‐free, coordination‐driven self‐assembly of a carbazole‐functionalized donor and tetracene‐based dinuclear ruthenium(II) acceptor. The doubly interlocked topology realized by strategically chosen ligand which capable participating multiple CH ⋅⋅⋅ π π–π interactions, as evidenced from single‐crystal X‐ray analysis computational studies. This method is first example two‐component using directional bonding...
Abstract Molecular knots have become highly attractive to chemists because of their prospective properties in mimicking biomolecules and machines. Only a few examples molecular from the billions tabulated by mathematicians been realized with more than eight crossings not reported date. We report here coordination‐driven [8+8] self‐assembly higher‐generation knot comprising as many sixteen crossings. Its solid‐state X‐ray crystal structure multinuclear 2D NMR findings confirmed its...
