- A supramolecular keypad lockPublication . Carvalho, Cátia Parente; Dominguez, Zoe; Silva, José P. da; Pischel, UweThe reversible photoswitching between an anthracene derivative and its [4+4] dimer, using the template effect of the CB8 macrocycle, was demonstrated. This example of supramolecular chemistry in water was harnessed to demonstrate the operation of a keypad lock device that is driven by means of light and chemicals as inputs.
- Five-Component Self-Assembly of Cucurbituril-Based Hetero-pseudorotaxanesPublication . Parente Carvalho, Catia; Dominguez, Zoe; Dominguez, Cristina; El-Sheshtawy, Hamdy S.; Da Silva, Jose Paulo; Arteaga, Jesus F.; Pischel, Uwe[5]Pseudorotaxanes can be obtained by self-sorting using heteroditopic guests and various cucurbituril homologues as hosts. The assembly and chemically induced disassembly of the pseudorotaxanes can be monitored by measuring the fluorescence of the anthracene guest in solution. Mass spectral evidence for the supramolecular assemblies is obtained in the gas phase. The disassembly in the gas phase can be achieved by collision-induced dissociation leading to the corresponding [2]- and [3]pseudorotaxanes.
