Abstract

The design and chemical synthesis of a series of hybrid flexible self-assembling supramolecules utilising both crown ether-naphthalene diimide host-guest chemistry and metalloporphyrin-pyridyl coordination is discussed. The resulting compound structures and dynamics are probed using a variety of techniques, including diffusion ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) and cold-spray ionisation mass spectrometry (CSI-MS).

Rotaxanes with fluorocarbon blocking groups.

A novel [2]-rotaxane has been prepared in which perfluoropropyl stoppers have been utilized as electronic blocking groups. To further investigate this capability, a linear compound that was precapped with perfluoropropyl groups was also prepared. This compound did not demonstrate rotaxane formation when mixed with dibenzo-24-crown-8, providing further evidence that the perfluoropropyl groups were effective electronic stoppers for the macrocycle.

Exploring crown ethers as shift reagents for ion mobility spectrometry.

A series of crown ethers, 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, 18-crown-6, and dibenzo-30-crown-10, are examined as a possible means of shifting the mobilities of peptide ions. In this approach, a crown ether is added to a solution containing a mixture of peptides and is electrosprayed into the gas phase in order to create distributions of peptide-crown complexes. The ion complexes have different mobilities than the naked peptide ions, and the crown ether molecules appear to interact specifically with basic sites in the peptides thus providing some sequence selectivity. After the peptide-crown complexes are separated by ion mobility spectrometry, the ions can be collisionally activated to dissociate the complex (forming the naked peptide ions) prior to m/z analysis. The overall effect is that complex formation shifts peptide ions to different regions of the mobility spectrum, extending the ability to resolve components. The approach is illustrated by examining isobaric dipeptides as well as a combinatorial library containing 27 tripeptides. Cross sections for the series of crown ether ions and complexes that are observed are reported.
