Description
Abstract
We describe the incorporation of endo-pyridine units into the tetralactam ring of di(acylamino)pyridine-based rotaxanes. This macrocycle strongly associates with the linear interlocked component as confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies of rotaxane 2b. Dynamic NMR studies of 2b in solution revealed a rotational energy barrier that was higher than that of the related rotaxane 2a, which lacks of pyridine rings in the macrocycle. The macrocycle distribution of the molecular shuttle 4b, containing two endo-pyridine rings, shows that the major co-conformer is that with the cyclic component sitting over the di(acylamino)pyridine station. DFT calculations also support the marked preference of the ring for occupying the heterocyclic binding site. The association of N-hexylthymine with the di(acylamino) pyridine binding site of 4b led to the formation of a rare 'S'-shaped co-conformer in which the tetralactam ring interacts simultaneously with both stations of the thread.
