We report here a “nonspectator” behavior for an unsupported
We report investigations of the use of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) macrocycles as an antidote to counteract the in vivo biological effects of phencyclidine. We investigate the binding of CB[8] and its derivative Me4CB[8] toward ten drugs of abuse (

Abstract L ‐function σ3‐P ligand (i.e. P{N[o ‐NMe‐C6H4]2},1a ) in complex with the cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl cation (Fp+). Treatment of1a ⋅Fp+with [(Me2N)3S][Me3SiF2] results in fluoride addition to theP ‐center, giving the isolable crystalline fluorometallophosphorane1aF ⋅Fp that allows a crystallographic assessment of the variance in the Fe−P bond as a function of P‐coordination number. The nonspectator reactivity of1a ⋅Fp+is rationalized on the basis of electronic structure arguments and by comparison to trigonal analogue (Me2N)3P⋅Fp+(i.e.1b ⋅Fp+), which is inert to fluoride addition. These observations establish a nonspectator L/X‐switching in (σ3‐P)–M complexes by reversible access to higher‐coordinate phosphorus ligand fragments. -

Abstract The “masked” terminal Zn sulfide, [K(2.2.2‐cryptand)][MeLZn(S)] (
2 ) (MeL={(2,6‐iPr2C6H3)NC(Me)}2CH), was isolated via reaction of [MeLZnSCPh3] (1 ) with 2.3 equivalents of KC8in THF, in the presence of 2.2.2‐cryptand, at −78 °C. Complex2 reacts readily with PhCCH and N2O to form [K(2.2.2‐cryptand)][MeLZn(SH)(CCPh)] (4 ) and [K(2.2.2‐cryptand)][MeLZn(SNNO)] (5 ), respectively, displaying both Brønsted and Lewis basicity. In addition, the electronic structure of2 was examined computationally and compared with the previously reported Ni congener, [K(2.2.2‐cryptand)][tBuLNi(S)] (tBuL={(2,6‐iPr2C6H3)NC(tBu)}2CH). -

Abstract Supramolecular hosts bind to inorganic anions at a fast rate and select them in proportion with thermodynamic stability of the corresponding [anion⊂host] complexes, forming in a reversible manner. In this study, we describe the action of hexapodal capsule
1 and its remarkable ability to select anions based on a large span of rates by which they enter this host. The thermodynamic affinity of1 toward eighteen anions extends over eight orders of magnitude (0<K a<108 M−1;1H NMR spectroscopy). The capsule would retain CO32−(K a=107 M−1) for hours in the presence of eleven competing anions, including stronger binding SO42−, HAsO42−and HPO42−(K a=107–108 M−1). The observed selection resulted from1 possessing narrow apertures (ca. 3×6 Å) comparable in size to anions (d =3.5–7.1 Å) slowing down the encapsulation to last from seconds to days. The unorthodox mode of action of1 sets the stage for creating hosts that pick anions by their ability to access the host.
