Bridged bis(beta-cyclodextrin) 1 with a pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide linker was synthesized, and its inclusion complexation behavior with some aliphatic oligopeptides was investigated in aqueous buffer solution of pH 2.0 and 7.2 at 25 degreesC by means of circular dichroism, fluorescence, and 2D NMR techniques. The results show that the resulting inclusion complexes of 1 with oligopeptides adopt a cooperative cyclodextrin-guest-cyclodextrin sandwich binding mode in a neutral media, but a guest-linker-cyclodextrin coinclusion binding mode in an acidic media. These switchable binding modes consequently rationalize the binding ability of bis(beta-cyclodextrin) 1 at different pH values; that is, 1 shows the stronger association with oligopeptides in a neutral media. Because of the simultaneous contributions of hydrophobic, hydrogen bond, and electrostatic interactions, bis(beta-cyclodextrin) 1 affords length-selectivity up to 4.7 for the Gly-Gly/Gly-Gly-Gly pair at pH 2.0 and sequence-selectivity up to 4.2 for the Gly-Leu/Leu-Gly pair at pH 7.2. These phenomena are discussed from the viewpoint of the size-fit concept and the multipoint recognitions between host and guest.
