Self-assembly • Self-assembly the spontaneous and reversible organization of molecular units into ordered structures by non-covalent interactions. • Non-covalent interactions • hydrogen-bonding • dipole–dipole interaction • van der Waals interaction • metal–ligand coordination Lackinger, M.; Griessl, S.; Markert, T.; Jamitzky, F.; Heckl, W.

Cage-shaped molecular complexes • Cage-shaped molecular complexes The supramolecules formed by self-assembly viaweak intermolecular interaction and having a cavity encapsulating guest molecules reversibly. 2 Kang, J.; Rebek, J., Jr. Nature1997, 385, 50-52. Yoshizawa, M.; Tamura, M.; Fujita, M. Science2006, 312, 251–254.
Previous work: Capsule complex The authors reported that the compound 1 dimerizeshydrogen bondings between edges. This cylindrical capsule 2 have a large cavity where two aromatic guest molecules can be accommodated. Guest molecule 2 1 Heinz, T.; Rudkevich, D. M.; Rebek, J., Jr. Nature1998, 394, 764-766.
Purpose of this work The interior of molecularcage complexes becomes a spaceto stabilize reactive intermediates and to create new forms of stereoisomerism. The authors investigated the ability of their capsule complex to accelerate a 1,3-dipolar cycloadditionwith regioselectivity. 2 Accelerate? Regioselective?
1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition • 1,3-Dipole The neutral molecules which have a resonance forms as foll. • 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition The reaction between a 1,3-dipole and alkenes or alkynes to form a five-membered ring.
Guest molecules They chose phenylacetylene3 and phenylazide4 as the guest molecules.These compounds react to give a mixture of regioisomerictriazoles5 and 6 equally in organic solvent. But, at ambient temperature the reaction rate is very slow. Rate constant k = 4.3 x 10-9 M-1 s-1 half life: several years (at 1 M each component)

Conclusion • 1,3-Dipole cycloaddition was accelerated by the capsule complex 2. • In the capsule complex 2, only 1,4-isomer was formed. • Equilibrium constant KDwas bigger than the prediction. It suggest that the space in 11 is better occupied or there is a weak attractive force between the occupants. • The actual observed reaction rate is slower than the estimated rate, but 240 times faster than the calculated rate outside 2.
