Sulfate Binding with a Tripodal Tris(4-pyridylurea) Receptor
The tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren)-based tris(4-pyridylurea) receptor L has been synthesized and its anion binding properties were studied. The ligand forms a 2 : 1 (host/guest) complex with MgSO4, [SO4^2 L2], in which a sulfate ion is encapsulated by six urea groups from the two ligands through mul...

Summary: | The tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren)-based tris(4-pyridylurea) receptor L has been synthesized and its anion binding properties were studied. The ligand forms a 2 : 1 (host/guest) complex with MgSO4, [SO4^2 L2], in which a sulfate ion is encapsulated by six urea groups from the two ligands through multiple hydrogen bonds. The metal ions do not coordinate to the pyridyl groups but exist as the hydrate [Mg(H2O)6]2+ and interact with the [SO4 L2] capsules in the outer coordination sphere to form a three dimensional extended structure. The anion binding behav- ior of ligand L in solution was studied. |
