Abstract

Abstract : A covalent molecular capsule based on reversible imine bonds and polar interior is prepared by the template-directed self-assembly of a tetraaldehyde calix[4]pyrrole scaffold with a diamine linker. Abstract : Chiral polyimine molecular capsules with polar interiors have been prepared through template covalent dynamic self-assembly. An aryl-extended tetraaldehyde calix[4]pyrrole scaffold was condensed with suitable diamines as linkers using templates for efficient self-assembly. The capsular complexes were characterized in solution, gas phase and the solid-state. Unprecedented transfer of asymmetry was observed from a chiral diamine linker to the resulting supramolecular capsular assembly.
