Host comparison

By way of comparison, acyclic podand hosts analogous to compound 3.33 have been produced in order to assess the importance of the rigid preorganisation afforded by a cyclic host. Comparison of the closely related podand 3.36 (which is estimated to possess over 10 000 possible conformations, only two of which can bind cations in a convergent manner) and 3.33 (which is locked in only one conformation) shows that the spherand binds Li+ more than 1012 times more effectively. This highlights the importance of preorganisation effects in host design.

In Fig. 21(a) we plot the variation of R with increasing system density Cobs 3.nd, for comparison, also give the respective change for a system of moving medium (dynamic host matrix) of equal density. This result is in good agreement with recent predictions [89]. If one defines an effective Flory exponent from the scaling relation Rg oc it is then evident from... 

Kuokkanen (1986, 1987 a, 1991) supported the proposal of Nakazumi et al. (1983) based on kinetic and spectrophotometric comparisons of arenediazonium salt solutions in the presence of 18-crown-6 and pentaglyme. He also extended the systematic work on complex formation of benzenediazonium salts, substituted in the 2-position, and in the presence of 15-crown-5 (Kuokkanen, 1990 Kuokkanen et al, 1991). He discovered a useful way to differentiate between the two types of complexes in Scheme 11-2. Increasing the relative concentration of the host compound shifts the ultraviolet absorption band of both types of complex hypsochromically, whereas the NN stretching frequencies are significantly increased only in the case of insertion complexes. ... 

Complexed arenediazonium salts are stabilized against photochemical degradation (Bartsch et al., 1977). This effect was studied in the former German Democratic Republic in the context of research and development work on diazo copying processes (Israel, 1982 Becker et al., 1984) as well as in China (Liu et al., 1989). The comparison of diazonium ion complexation by 18-crown-6 and dibenzo-18-crown-6 is most interesting. Becker at al. (1984) found mainly the products of heterolytic dediazoniation when 18-crown-6 was present in photolyses with a medium pressure mercury lamp, but products of homolysis appeared in the presence of dibenzo-18-crown-6. The dibenzo host complex exhibited a charge-transfer absorption on the bathochromic slope of the diazonio band. Results on the photo-CIDNP effect in the 15N NMR spectra of isotopically labeled diazonium salts complexed by dibenzo-18-crown-6 indicate that the primary step is a single electron transfer. 

The high sensitivity and selectivity of the EPR response enables diamagnetic systems to be doped with very low concentrations of paramagnetic ions, the fate of which can be followed during the progress of a reaction. The criteria [347] for the use of such tracer ions are that they should give a distinct EPR spectrum, occupy a single coordination site and have the same valency as, and a similar diffusion coefficient to, the host matrix ion. Kinetic data are usually obtained by comparison with standard materials.

Figure 2 Comparison of cloning and expression methods. In the conventional strategy (left), dehydrogenase genes obtained by PCR amplification of the original source DNAs are cloned into overexpression plasmids and verified by sequencing. Those with the desired structure are individually transformed into suitable host strains and the proteins are obtained, either as crude extracts or as purified samples. In the proposed streamlined approach (right), full-length dehydrogenase genes obtained by chemical synthesis are used directly in coupled transcription/translation reactions to obtain the proteins of interest.

A careful examination of the results given in Tables 7 and 8 reveal that with the exception of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (in the case of 47) only cyclic guest molecules are taken up into the lattices of the host compounds 46-48, but not the respective open-chain analogues. Saturated 2,3-dimethylbutane, as a compound for comparison, is not accommodated either, either by 46 or by 47. Moreover, only cycles with distinct ring sizes (five- to eight-membered rings) are effective, indicating the presence... 

Comparison (Tables 7-9) shows that 47 and 48 are similar in their host properties, but they are not equivalent in hehavior. Thus, host compound 48 is more qualified to select according to spatial aspects (see benzene derivatives) and, as a rule, it also forms the thermally more stable inclusions. This may be attributed to the rigid molecular geometry of the spirane 48, whereas the biaryl 47 allows sterical adaptation to different guests via the flexible hinge to a certain degree.
