Book Conformational Switching Within Aromatic  Electron Donor and Acceptor Supramolecular Architectures

Download or read book Conformational Switching Within Aromatic Electron Donor and Acceptor Supramolecular Architectures written by Cameron David Peebles and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iverson group has utilized favorable interactions between aromatic units in the development of highly ordered amphiphilic foldamers, two-component liquid crystal assemblies and pseudo-DNA assemblies. The above materials are made by taking advantage of the complementary electrostatic interactions between derivatives of electron-rich 1,5-dialkoxynaphthalene (DAN) and derivatives of electron-deficient 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimide (NDI). This dissertation describes the theme of dynamic conformational switching within the context of aromatic stacking interactions. Specifically, this work focuses on switching between an aromatic electron-rich and aromatic electron-deficient alternating stacking geometry and an aromatic electron-rich self stacking geometry. While much of this work can be partially explained using classical notions of aromatic stacking (Hunter and Sanders), a new theory explaining aromatic stacking interactions (Wheeler and Houk) is highlighted which better explains the conformational switching behavior. Chapter 2 elucidates the aggregated structure of two amphiphilic foldamers that irreversibly undergo thermally induced conformational changes to form self-supporting hydrogels. The thermodynamics and morphologies of the foldamer aggregates are similar to amyloid aggregates, the misfolded state of proteins associated in numerous neurodegenerative diseases. Chapter 3 discusses the synthesis and time dependent polymorphism of four conjugated aromatic monoalkoxynaphthalene-naphthalimide (MAN-NI) dyads. Interestingly, two dyads displayed a NI-NI stacking geometry upon slower evaporation from solution and a NI-MAN stacking geometry upon faster evaporation from solution. Chapter 4 further investigates the properties of MAN-NI dyads and demonstrates one of dyads displays solvatochromic, thermochromic, vapochromic and mechanochromic stimuli responsive behaviors. Using applied external stimuli the dyad is thought to undergo a conformational change from an NI-NI stacking geometry to a NI-MAN stacking geometry. Chapter 5 details initial investigations into MAN-NI polymers for liquid crystal polymers and organic electronic materials. Four polymers were synthesized and characterized and found to display liquid crystal mesophase textures at room temperature. Additionally, the electronic behavior of the polymers suggests they may be useful candidates for optoelectronic applications. Overall, this work sheds considerable light on the ability of aromatic materials to under conformational changes in solution and in the solid state as a consequence of favorable direct, electrostatic interactions between the aromatic units.

Book Current Challenges on Large Supramolecular Assemblies

Download or read book Current Challenges on Large Supramolecular Assemblies written by Georges Tsoucaris and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of the ARW were: - identifying areas and highlighting approaches by which large Supramolecular (SM) Assemblies can be synthesised - reviewing and combining methods to characterise and analyse such assemblies. The first part of the ARW is devoted to reviewing synthetic achievements in recent years for several families of SM compounds, and to bringing out principles for crystal structure design, including novel quantum mechanical methods. Synthesis pertains both to the chemical synthesis of components for SM assembly, and to the subsequent assembly process based on complementarity and non-covalent interactions. The elaboration of multiple recognition "algorithms" concurrently employed (for instance, 1t-1t and hydrogen bonds) has recently reached a high degree of sophistication in the sequence: Molecules -7 Supermolecule -7 SM array -7 Crystal or Conglomerate Novel Large Assemblies comprise synthetic entities with molecular weight as high as 15000, and hybrid SM assemblies between synthetic molecules and DNA. Further developments are foreseen at a higher level of organisation, such as between supermolecules or with electromagnetic fields in photochemical processes. Creation of 2D Assemblies is now a powerful tool for creation and study of SM interactions. Moreover, much is to be learned in going from 2D to 3D assemblies in crystal growth and other forms of organisation such as micelles or liquid crystals. On the other hand, crystal engineering based on Molecular Recognition in the Crystal State leads to novel 2D assemblies occurring within predesigned crystal structures (hydrophobic organic clays or nanoporous networks).

Book The Donor Acceptor Approach to Molecular Interactions

Download or read book The Donor Acceptor Approach to Molecular Interactions written by Viktor Gutmann and published by Springer. This book was released on 1978-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in various areas of chemistry have been decisively influenced by the principles of structure and mechanism and by the ideas of coordination chemistry, in particular by the donor-acceptor approach, A unified view of almost all kinds of molecular forces is provided by quantum mechanics, and for practical purposes have been classified according to model assumptions, namely, dispersion, polarization, electrostatic, and short-range forces. The latter are divided into two- and three-center covalent chemical bonds, metallic bonds, and exchange-repulsion forces. This approach allows statements of principle and systematic analysis. However, quantitative predictions on concrete large systems are virtually impossible, and there are no general rules that account for structural and chemical changes due to intermolecular interactions. Chemists are therefore left with qualitative descriptions in which the changes in electron densities are considered. Such models as the MO theory or the resonance concept unrealistically assume that the nuclei remain in fixed positions. Further difficulties are encountered in the attempted description on the "nature" of the chemical bond, e.g., the forces involved. In order to avoid these difficulties an extension of the donor-acceptor concept, characterized by the comparison between equilibrium structures in different molecular environments, will be presented in this book. In this way, changes in the positions of the nuclei can be taken into account and the question of the nature of the molecular forces is no longer important.

It is one of today’s fastest growing disciplines, crossing a range of subjects from biological chemistry to materials science; and from synthesis to spectroscopy. Supramolecular Chemistry is an up-to-date, integrated textbook that tells the newcomer to the field everything they need to know to get started. Assuming little in the way of prior knowledge, the book covers the concepts behind the subject, its breadth, applications and the latest contemporary thinking in the area. It also includes coverage of the more important experimental and instrumental techniques needed by supramolecular chemists. The book has been thoroughly updated for this second edition. In addition to the strengths of the very popular first edition, this comprehensive new version expands coverage into a broad range of emerging areas. Clear explanations of both fundamental and nascent concepts are supplemented by up-to-date coverage of exciting emerging trends in the literature. Numerous examples and problems are included throughout the book. A system of “key references” allows rapid access to the secondary literature, and of course comprehensive primary literature citations are provided. A selection of the topics covered is listed below.
