A new class of macrobicyclic azacryptand containing dipyrrolylmethane subunits with nitrogen bridgeheads was synthesized by the Mannich reaction of the dipyrrolylmethane in the presence of aqueous ammonia. The azacryptand exhibits a staggered conformation in the solid state, but is in a dynamic equilibrium with the eclipsed conformation in solution studied by the variable-temperature H-1 NMR methods. The azacryptand has a specific size suitable only for fluoride ion; large anions such as NO3- bind in the clefts of the macrobicycle as shown by the X-ray structures of its fluoride ion inclusion and the nitrate anion complexes. The anion binding studies showed that it has high selectivity and affinity for fluoride ion in acetone over other anions studied, which was supported by H-1 and F-19 NMR methods. The azacryptand has fast fluoride ion-mediated proton-deuterium exchanges with acetone-d(6) studied by the F-19 NMR method.
