Self-Assembly

Templating :Aid to the synthesis through the involvement of temporary or permanent “helper“ species.

Templating a dynamic combinatorial library

3

Self-Assembly

Supramolecular self-assembly:Recognition-directed, reversible spontaneous ass ociation of a limited number of molecular components (tecton s) under intermolecular control of noncovalent interacti ons. Reversibility: crucial to form thermodynamicall y most favorable structure, self-repair and correction s of defects.

Recognition-directed self-assemblies

• Strict self-assembly (Tobacco-virus)• Self-assembly with covalent modifications (Insulin)

4

Self-Assembly with Covalent Modifications

5

Self-Assembly

Self-organization – interactions between constitu ents parts of self-assembled entities and the integration of those interac tions leading to collective behavior such as phase changes.

Template Effect in Synthesis

• A catenane or rotaxane precursor:

• Interpenetration of an electron-rich guest with an electron-poor macrocycle

10

A Thermodynamic Model of Self-Assembly

Zinc Porphyrine Complexes:Zn-pyridyl bond is labile in organic solvents

Also dimer and trimer due to theflexibility of the bridge

11

A Thermodynamic Model of Self-Assembly

i.e. 10-5 0.6 (mol/l)

Isac :lower self-assembly concentration

EM :effective molarity(concentration at what open oligomer formation starts to compete formation of cyclic oligomers)

Self-Assembly by Hydrogen Bonding

Soft Ball :

• « Catalysis » of Diels-Alder Reaction

• Self-inhibition : the product is a better guest than the

reactants (Entropy-driven complexation)

• 55 % of the cavity should be occupied by the guest to

obtain the highest affinities in the absence of strong

interactions (0.16 nm³ for the 0.34 nm³ cavity of soft ball)

• Similar value for liquids
