ABSTRACT
To understand the role of an additional coordination site in the linker in chirality sensing, we designed and synthesized an S-2-methylbutanamido-substituted m-phthalic diamide-linked zinc bisporphyrinate, [Zn2(S-MAABis)] and investigated its ability to sense the chirality of amino acid esters. The 1H NMR spectra and the crystal structure showed that the amido oxygen adjacent to the chiral carbon was coordinated with zinc. NMR and UV-vis titration showed that the binding of [Zn2(S-MAABis)] to amino acid esters occurred via two equilibria, forming 11 and 12 host-guest complexes. The CD spectra suggested that [Zn2(S-MAABis)] can effectively recognize the absolute configuration of amino acid esters. The sign of the CD spectra remained unchanged during the titration, indicating that the corresponding 11 and 12 host-guest complexes had the same chirality. This is different from previously studied amino-substituted m-phthalic diamide-linked zinc bisporphyrinate [Zn2(AmBis)], which showed chirality inversion during titration. Theoretical calculations indicated that the additional coordination sites (amido or amino) in the 11 host-guest complexes played different roles, leading to differences in chirality. Our studies suggest that the introduction of a coordination site can influence the chirality transfer process, but the results of chirality transfers are dependent on the specific binding modes.
