On‐Surface Evolution of meso‐Isomerism in Two‐Dimensional Supramolecular Assemblies

by Juyeon Park, Ju-Hyung Kim, Sunmi Bak, Kazukuni Tahara, Jaehoon Jung, Maki Kawai, Yoshito Tobe, Yousoo Kim
Angewandte Chemie International Edition On‐Surface Evolution of meso‐Isomerism in Two‐Dimensional Supramolecular Assemblies

Chirality in two dimensions: The formation of meso‐isomerism on surfaces through coverage‐driven hierarchical polymorphic transitions of supramolecular assemblies of highly symmetric π‐conjugated molecules is reported. Four coverage‐dependent phases of dehydrobenzo[12]annulene were uniformly fabricated on Ag(111) and exhibit unique chiral characteristics from the single‐molecule level to two‐dimensional supramolecular assemblies.


Abstract

Chiral structures created through the adsorption of molecules onto achiral surfaces play pivotal roles in many fields of science and engineering. Here, we present a systematic study of a novel chiral phenomenon on a surface in terms of organizational chirality, that is, meso‐isomerism, through coverage‐driven hierarchical polymorphic transitions of supramolecular assemblies of highly symmetric π‐conjugated molecules. Four coverage‐dependent phases of dehydrobenzo[12]annulene were uniformly fabricated on Ag(111), exhibiting unique chiral characteristics from the single‐molecule level to two‐dimensional supramolecular assemblies. All coverage‐driven phase transitions stem from adsorption‐induced pseudo‐diastereomerism, and our observation of a lemniscate‐type (∞) supramolecular configuration clearly reveals a drastic chiral phase transition from an enantiomeric chiral domain to a meso‐isomeric achiral domain. These findings provide new insights into controlling two‐dimensional chiral architectures on surfaces.

Rotaxane Probes for the Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide by 129Xe HyperCEST NMR Spectroscopy

by Sarah H. Klass, Ashley E. Truxal, Tahoe A. Fiala, Joseph Kelly, Dang Nguyen, Joel A. Finbloom, David E. Wemmer, Alexander Pines, Matthew B. Francis
Angewandte Chemie International Edition Rotaxane Probes for the Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide by 129Xe HyperCEST NMR Spectroscopy

Lose the thread: Cucurbit[6]uril (CB6) can host single 129Xe atoms in its interior cavity, thereby creating a distinct chemical environment that can be observed by 129Xe hyperCEST NMR spectroscopy. To create a “turn on” probe, CB6 can be threaded onto a molecular axle and capped by two stoppers to prevent the entry of 129Xe into the CB6 interior. Selective cleavage of one stopper group by H2O2 releases CB6, thereby producing a hyperCEST response.


Abstract

The development of sensitive and chemically selective MRI contrast agents is imperative for the early detection and diagnosis of many diseases. Conventional responsive contrast agents used in 1H MRI are impaired by the high abundance of protons in the body. 129Xe hyperCEST NMR/MRI comprises a highly sensitive complement to traditional 1H MRI because of its ability to report specific chemical environments. To date, the scope of responsive 129Xe NMR contrast agents lacks breadth in the specific detection of small molecules, which are often important markers of disease. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a rotaxane‐based 129Xe hyperCEST NMR contrast agent that can be turned on in response to H2O2, which is upregulated in several disease states. Added H2O2 was detected by 129Xe hyperCEST NMR spectroscopy in the low micromolar range, as well as H2O2 produced by HEK 293T cells activated with tumor necrosis factor.
