Transition Metal-Directed Threading and Knotting Processes

  • Chapter
Transition Metals in Supramolecular Chemistry

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 448))

Abstract

In this review article, we shall discuss various approaches to the synthesis of multi-component molecular systems, based on the use of transition metals as templates. By mixing appropriate molecular strings and rings with metals, under strictly defined conditions, various complexes can be obtained. They consist of cycles threaded by strings, of double-stranded helices or other types of systems. The compounds formed can be used as precursors for making topologically novel systems, some of them being also electro- and photoactive. In the present paper we shall focus on three aspects of the assembling and templating effects used in our group in the course of the last few years. The systems discussed will be (i) cycles threaded by molecular strings not bearing any bulky groups at their extremities, (ii) [2] and [3]-rotaxanes with porphyrins as stoppers and (iii) molecular trefoil knots.

  16. 2a was prepared from p-lithioanisole and phen-p-C6H4-O-p-C6H4-phen. Phen-p-C6H4-O-p-C6H4-phen was obtained by an Ullmann coupling between 2-(p-bromophenyl)-l, 10-phenanthroline and the sodium salt of 2-(p-phenol)-l, 10-phenanthroline. (overall yield : 40%).

  17. 3 was obtained by reaction of the corresponding carbanion of 2-methyl-9-(p-anisyl)-l, 10-phenanthroline with di-2, 9-(5-bromo pentyl)-l, 10-phenanthnoline in 78% yield. The dibromide derivative was prepared in 3 steps from neocuproine and 4-bromobutyl-tetrahydropyran-2-yl ether.
