Effect of alkylpyrazinium counterions on the host-guest recognition based on dimethoxypillar[5]arenes

Abstract

In this work, we synthesized n-octylpyrazinium bromide(G-Br) and n-octylpyrazinium hexafluorophosphate(G-PF₆) as model guests and studied their host-guest complexation with 1,4-dimethoxypillar[5]arene(DMP5A). Effect of alkylpyrazinium counterions on the host-guest recognition was investigated. Based on the ¹H NOESY spectra, the binding site of DMP5A with G-PF₆ is the same as that of DMP5A with G-Br. However, G-PF₆ forms a stronger complex with DMP5A than G-Br, owing to that hexafluorophosphate forms weaker doubly inonic H-bonds with ammonium cation than bromide ion in chloroform, which leads to some aggregates that could be dissociated with the addition of DMP5A.
