Photomodulation of Transmembrane Transport and Potential by Stiff-Stilbene Based Bis(thio)ureas

Sander J. Wezenberg et al.

Summary: Membrane transport proteins have important regulatory functions in biology and can respond to environmental stimuli. Using bis(thio)ureas derived from stiff-stilbene, photocontrol of transmembrane transport and electric potential has been demonstrated through UV-vis and H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The (Z)-isomers show stronger binding properties and are more active in transmembrane transport compared to the (E)-isomers.

Calix[6]arenes with halogen bond donor groups as selective and efficient anion transporters

Anurag Singh et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the anion binding and anion transport properties of a series of calix[6]arenes decorated with halogen bond or hydrogen bond donating groups on their small rim. The results show that the halogen bond donating iodotriazole groups enable highly selective transport of chloride and nitrate anions, without the transport of protons or hydroxide.

A Bidentate Iodine(III)-Based Halogen-Bond Donor as a Powerful Organocatalyst

Flemming Heinen et al.

Summary: This study presents the first application of a bidentate bis(iodolium) salt as an organocatalyst in various reactions, surpassing the performance of iodine(I)-based organocatalysts and approaching that of strong Lewis acids like BF3. Coordination of the bidentate XB donor to the substrate was confirmed through structural analysis and DFT calculations of the transition states.

Neutral Chiral Tetrakis-Iodo-Triazole Halogen-Bond Donor for Chiral Recognition and Enantioselective Catalysis

Florian Ostler et al.

Summary: The study introduced a novel chiral tetrakis-iodo-triazole structure as a neutral halogen bond donor for chiral anion-recognition and enantioinduction in ion-pair organocatalysis. It demonstrated selective recognition of chiral dicarboxylates and asymmetric induction in a benchmark organocatalytic reaction using the halogen bond donor, with inversions in chiral recognition, enantioselectivity, and chiroptical properties relative to the related hydrogen donor.

Halogen Bonding Tetraphenylethene Anion Receptors: Anion-Induced Emissive Aggregates and Photoswitchable Recognition

Andrew Docker et al.

Summary: A series of TPE derivatives functionalized with perfluoroaryl iodo-triazole halogen bond donors have been reported for anion recognition. These derivatives form luminescent nanoscale aggregates driven by anion coordination, serving as a powerful sensory mechanism for parts per billion concentration chloride sensing. The geometric isomers of these derivatives also act as unprecedented photoswitchable XB donor anion receptors, with the photostationary state composition modulated by the presence of a coordinating halide anion.

Highly Active Halogen Bonding and Chalcogen Bonding Chloride Transporters with Non-Protonophoric Activity

Laura E. Bickerton et al.

Summary: Synthetic anion transporters have shown great potential as potential anticancer agents and therapeutics for diseases associated with mis-regulation of protein anion channels. Highly active bidentate halogen bonding and chalcogen bonding anion carriers have been reported, demonstrating record nanomolar chloride transport activity and remarkably high chloride over proton/hydroxide selectivity. Computational studies suggest sigma-hole mediated anion recognition and desolvation as crucial for achieving high transport activity and selectivity in synthetic anionophores.

Red-shifted tetra-ortho-halo-azobenzenes for photo-regulated transmembrane anion transport

Aidan Kerckhoffs et al.

Summary: A class of photo-responsive synthetic ion transporters for chloride ions was synthesized, with the ability to transport ions across lipid bilayer membranes in response to green or red light. The effects of chlorine/fluorine substitution, positioning of proton receptors, and flexibility of linkers on transport efficiency were explored. Cooperative binding of chloride ions in the Z isomer, but not the E isomer, was observed through NMR titration experiments and molecular dynamics simulations.

A photoswitchable strapped calix[4]pyrrole receptor: highly effective chloride binding and release

David Villaron et al.

Summary: This study presents a Calix[4]pyrrole receptor that can be reversibly switched by light between a strong chloride-binding Z-isomer and a weakly binding E-isomer. The significant difference in binding affinity between the Z- and E-isomer is quantified using H-1 NMR and ITC titrations in MeCN. Structural insights into the photogenerated E-isomer and the chloride-bound receptors are provided through DFT calculations and X-ray crystallographic analysis, offering new prospects for on-demand binding and release in extractions and membrane transport processes.

Mukaiyama aldol reaction catalyzed by (benz)imidazolium-based halogen bond donors

Revannath L. Sutar et al.

Summary: A series of cationic monodentate and bidentate iodo(benz)imidazolium-based halogen bond donors were employed as catalysts in a Mukaiyama aldol reaction. The bidentate XB donor showed strong performance even with low loading, while PF6 or OTf salts were inactive or showed background reaction through Lewis base catalysis. The stability of the catalyst over three consecutive cycles was confirmed through repetition experiments.
