文摘Imitating the signal transduction and transmembrane transport co ntrolled by biological channels in the cell membra ne,artificial nanochannels with a similar capability of sensing and transport are constructed as bionic nanochannels.To accomplish selective sensing and transport of biological analyte(as "vip"),the bionic nanochannels are modified with the artificial receptor(as "host"),Based on selective recognition between host and vip,bionic nanochannels translate the stimulus of the vip to electrochemical signal as sensors,and further regulate the transmission of vip as transporters.Howeve r,throughout all kinds of vips,the selective sensing and transpo rt of ions and chiral molecules is a challenging problem.And throughout all hosts of ions and chiral molecules,the macrocyclic hosts with multisite of recognition show better selectivity,such as crown ethers,cyclodextrins,calixarenes,and pillararenes.In this article,we highlight recent advances in the macrocyclic host-based nanochannels for the selective sensing and transport of ionic and chiral vips,summarize the similarities and differences of different kinds of macrocyclic host-based nanochannels,and expect the research direction and application prospect.

文摘The activities of the catalytic hydrolysis of phosphate diester （BNPP） [bis（p-nitrophenyl）phosphate diester] and plasmid DNA （pUC 18） by mononuclear macrocyclic polyamine metal complexes have been investigated in this paper. The results showed that the highest activity in hydrolysis of BNPP was obtained with le--Zn（II） complex （composed of lipophilic group） as catalyst. The hydrolysis rate enhancement is up to 3.64 × 10^4 fold. These metal complexes could effectively promote the cleavage of plasmid DNA （pUC18） at physiological conditions.

文摘Two novel heterometallic trinuclear complexes of macrocyclic oxamide [Mn（NiL）2（HBTC）H2O] （1） and [Zn（NiL）2（HBTC）H2O] （2） （NiL, H2L = 2,3-dioxo-5,6,14,15-dibenzo-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclo-pentadeca-7,13-dien, H3BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid） have been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

文摘The protonation constants of a new dinucleating 24-membered hexaazadiphenol macrocyclic ligand, BDBPH, were determined by potentiometric measurement at 25.0 degreesC and mu = 0.100 mol.L-1 (KCl). The species distributions of the deprotonated and protonated compounds in the pH range from 2 to 12 aqueous solutions were also described.

文摘Two macrocyclic zinc（Ⅱ） complexes {[ZnL（VO3）2]·0.33H2O}n（1） and [ZnL（H2O）2][Ni（CN）4]（2）（L = 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane） have been obtained from the reactions of [ZnL]（ClO4）2 with NH4VO3 and K2[Ni（CN）4], respectively, and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR, XRPD, TG and X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that the Zn（Ⅱ） atom lies on an inversion center and is octahedrally coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of the tetradentate macrocyclic ligand in the equatorial plane and two oxygen atoms of [VO4] tetrahedra in the axial positions in 1, and two oxygen atoms of two water molecules in 2. Complex 1 shows a three-dimensional structure, which is constructed by the links of [VO3]nn- chains with [ZnL]2＋, forming one-dimensional channels occupied by vip water molecules. The monomers of [ZnL（H2O）2]2＋ and [Ni（CN）4]2- are connected through the intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form a two-dimensional sheet in complex 2.

文摘The reactions of chiral four-coordinated nickel（Ⅱ） complex [Ni（RR-L）]（ClO4）2/[Ni（SS- L）]（ClO4）2 with β-dl-phenylalanine in acetonitrile/water gave a six-coordinated enantiomer of [Ni（RR-L）（β-d-HPhe）]（ClO4）2（1） and [Ni（SS-L）（β-l-HPhe）]（ClO4）2（2）, respectively（L = 5,5,7, 12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, HPhe = phenylalanine）. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that the nickel（Ⅱ） atom displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry by coordinating with four nitrogen atoms of L in a folded configuration, and two carboxylate oxygen atoms of β-d/l-HPhe in cis-position in both complexes. The monomers of [Ni（RR-L）（β-d-HPhe）]2＋ and [Ni（SS-L）（β-l-HPhe）]2＋ are connected through intermolecular hydrogen bonds to generate one-dimensional zigzag chains, respectively. The homochiral natures of 1 and 2 are confirmed by the results of CD spectroscopy.
