Water-soluble supramolecular polymers constructed by macrocycle-based host-guest interactions

Supramolecular polymers, which combined of the supramolecular chemistry and polymer science, are constructed from monomers together by reversible noncovalent interactions. Supramolecular polymers in aqueous solution are especially important due to their superior biocompatibility and environmental adaptation, which determined they have wide applications in various areas, such as drug delivery, selfhealing, shape memory. Macrocyclic compounds, such as cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils and pillar[n]arenes, are the most used building blocks in the preparation of supramolecular polymers.Macrocycle-based supramolecular polymers, which introduce the host-guest interaction in the system,endow these polymers with interesting and smart physical-chemical properties. In this review, we summarized recent studies about supramolecular polymers in aqueous solution based on macrocyclic compounds.

General and straightforward synthetic strategy towards the iron(Ⅱ)clathrochelates with functionalizing substituents in their apical capping and one of the three chelate ribbed fragments was developed.Their hexachloroclathrochelate precursors were prepared by the direct template condensation of dichloroglyoxime with a suitable boronic acid on the Fe^(2+) ion as a matrix and underwent a stepwise nucleophilic substitution with S_(2)-,N_(2)- or O_(2)-bis-nucleophiles,forming the alicyclic or aromatic N_(2)-,S_(2)-or O_(2)-six-membered fragments.Depending on the reaction conditions and precursor-to-dinucleophile molar ratios,iron(Ⅱ)clathrochelates with one(S,O and N),two(S,O and N)or three(S and O)X_(2)-six-membered ribbed substituent(s)were obtained.Their reactivity substantially decreases in a row:Cl_(6)-Cage>Cl_(4)X_(2)-Cage(where X=S,O or,especially,N)>Cl_(2)X_(4)-Cage(where X=S or O).The reactive monoribbed-functionalized clathrochelates underwent further chemical transformations giving the target macrobicyclic complexes with terminal vector groups.As follows from the single crystal XRD data,their FeN_(6)-coordination polyhedra possess the geometry intermediate between a trigonal prism and a trigonal antiprism(φ=21.3°—25.20°).Fe-N distances vary from 1.887(6)to 1.933(8)Å.Their 3D-molecules,the hydrophobic–hydrophilic balance in which can be tuned using a ribbed functionalization,form in the crystals the intermolecular specific halogen bonds and/or hydrophobic interactions.
