Hierarchically nested hosts offer new opportunities to control the guest binding of inner host, functionalize cavity outer and investigate communication between different layers. Here we report a self-assembled triazatruxene-based FeII4L4 capsule, which was able encapsulate covalent cage, cryptophane-111 (CRY). The resulting cage-in-cage complex capable accommodating cesium cation or xenon atom with altered behavior compared CRY alone. A crystal structure Russian doll [Cs+⊂CRY]⊂FeII4L4...
Cryptophanes bearing OCH2COOH groups in place of the methoxy represent a new class xenon-carrier molecules soluble water at biological pH. By using 1H and 129Xe NMR (thermally- laser-polarized dissolved gas), structural dynamical behaviors these host as well their interaction with xenon are studied. They shown to exist aqueous solution under different conformations very slow exchange. A saddle form present for one could explain spectra. Whereas cryptophanes such conformation unable complex...

Xenon capsule: A smart 129Xe NMR-based sensor of Zn2+ ions for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is proposed. The frequency xenon encapsulated in a cryptophane that bears nitrilotriacetic ligand moiety varies when are present solution (see picture). With hyper-polarized gas, such construct enables detection 100 nM zinc one batch, threshold 300 times lower than achieved with gadolinium chelates.
Abstract Signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) is a promising method to increase the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. However, SABRE‐enhanced 1 H NMR signals are short lived, and SABRE often used record 1D spectra only. When sample interest complex mixture, this results in severe overlaps for spectra. In addition, use co‐substrate, whose may obscure spectra, currently most efficient way lower detection limit Here, we describe an approach obtain...

The known xenon-binding (±)-cryptophane-111 (1) has been functionalized with six [(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))Ru(II)](+) ([Cp*Ru](+)) moieties to give, in 89% yield, the first water-soluble cryptophane-111 derivative, namely [(Cp*Ru)(6)1]Cl(6) ([2]Cl(6)). [2]Cl(6) exhibits a very high affinity for xenon water, binding constant of 2.9(2) × 10(4) M(-1) as measured by hyperpolarized (129)Xe NMR spectroscopy. chemical shift aqueous Xe@[2](6+) species (308 ppm) resonates over 275 ppm downfield parent Xe@1...
Nanofabrication by molecular self-assembly involves the design of molecules and strategies so that shape chemical complementarities drive units to organize spontaneously into desired structures. The power makes it ubiquitous strategy living organized matter provides a powerful tool chemists. However, challenging issue in complex supramolecular structures is understand how kinetically efficient pathways emerge from multitude possible transition states routes. Unfortunately, very few systems...
An approach for sensitive magnetic resonance detection of metal cations is proposed. Combining the use hyperpolarized 129Xe NMR and a cage-molecule functionalized by ligand able to chelate different cations, we show that simultaneous lead, zinc, cadmium ions at nanomolar concentration possible in short time, thanks fast MRI sequences based on HyperCEST scheme.
When working with hyperpolarized species, it is often difficult to maintain a stable level of magnetization over consecutive experiments, which renders their detection at the trace cumbersome, even when combined chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST). We report herein use ultrafast Z-spectroscopy as powerful means detect low concentrations 129Xe NMR-based sensors and measure in–out xenon exchange. Modifications original sequence enable multiplexed several sensors, well extraction...
A recyclable Pt-carbon nanotube hybrid was developed for the hydrosilylation of a variety substrates under environmentally friendly conditions (no solvent, room temperature, low catalyst loading, air atmosphere).
Using soft-pulse 2D NMR techniques, nearly complete assignments of the 600 and 800 MHz spectra an octamethylene-spaced β-cyclodextrin (CD) homodimer (1, L=(CH2)8) a heterodimer with one α- β-CD can be made. These clearly show self-inclusion aliphatic spacer in CD units. When, for example, short ethylene is used to connect CDs, this self-encapsulation not occur. This difference behavior markedly affects binding properties different dimers. L=(CH2)2,(CH2)8,2,2′-bipyridyl.
The interaction of xenon with cryptophane derivatives is analyzed by NMR using either thermal or hyperpolarized noble gas. Twelve hosts differing their stereochemistry, cavity size, and the nature number substituents on aromatic rings have been included in study, aim extracting some clues for optimization (129)Xe-NMR based biosensors derived from these cage molecules. Four important properties examined: xenon-host binding constant, in-out exchange rate gas, chemical shift, relaxation caged...
Abstract In the 129 Xe NMR‐based biosensing approach in which hyperpolarized noble gas is transported to biological receptors for a sensitive molecular imaging, cryptophanes are excellent xenon host systems. However avoid formation of self‐organized systems, these hydrophobic cage molecules can be rendered water soluble by introduction ionic groups. We show that sensitivity its local environment and presence functions lead interesting properties. For first water‐soluble cryptophane...

In few tens of seconds net spatial discrimination achieved between two different hosts dissolved immiscible media at submillimolar concentrations by using gradient echo sequence with interleaved frequency selection. This high sensitivity afforded not only the state but also continuous in-out exchange that enables replenishment detected signal. Moreover this direct approach,...
