Temperature-driven braking of γ-cyclodextrin-curcubit[6]uril-cowheeled [4]rotaxanes

Several cyclodextrin-cucurbit[6]uril-cowheeled [4]rotaxanes were synthesized through the cucurbit[6]uril-templated azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The intramolecular interaction between the aromatic axle and the capping groups of cyclodextrin moie

In this study a new 2,6-distyryl naphthalene [2-((4-((E)-2-(6-((E)-2,4-bis(methylsulfonyl)styryl)naphthalen-2-yl)vinyl)phenyl)(ethyl)amino)ethan-1-ol;ASDSN] was synthesized successfully using Heck chemistry as the main reaction. TheASDSNcompound is a dono

Roomerature phosphorescent γ-cyclodextrin-cucurbit[6]uril-cowheeled [4]rotaxanes for specific sensing of tryptophan

Room temperature phosphorescent (RTP) γ-CD-CB[6]-cowheeled [4]rotaxanes were synthesized by implanting a naphthalene axle into the cavity of iodine-substituted γ-CDs. The strong green RTP was quenched exclusively by Trp while no RTP quenching was observed with other major physiological amino acids or with the Trp-containing protein HSA, demonstrating a highly specific sensing of free Trp.
