Abstract

A bromide salt of 2,2′-(hexane-1,6-diyl) diisoquinolinium (K6) was designed, synthesized and introduced to construct a novel framework induced by π···π stacking of 2,2′-(alkylene-1,ω-diyl)diisoquinolinium from Q[6]-based pseudo-rotaxanes. The crystal structure of the compound revealed that the assembled framework based on the Q[6]-2,2′-(alkylene-1,6-diyl)diisoquinolinium pseudo-rotaxanes have stoichiometries of {(K6)@(Q[6])}2+·2Br·7(H2O). The compound 1 has a novel three-dimensional framework constructed of two different channels―one containing stacked isoquinolyl moieties from the K6@Q[6] pseudorotaxanes and the other containing the bromide anions. 1H NMR spectra analysis was performed and confirmed the pseudorotaxane interaction model in which the 2,2′-(alkylene-1,6-diyl)diisoquinolinium guest threads into the cavity of Q[6] with the alkyl chain included inside the cavity and the two end isoquinolyl moieties protruding from the two opening portals. Absorption spectrophotometric and fluorescence spectroscopic analyses of the host–guest inclusion complex in aqueous solution found that the complexes were most stable at a host:guest mole ratio of 1:1. At this ratio, the complex has binding constants (K) ~106.
