Host-Guest Complexation
• “A host-guest relationship involves a complementary stereoelectronic arrangement of binding sites in host and guest…The host component is defined as an organic molecule or ion whose binding sites converge in the complex…The guest component is any molecule or ion whose binding sites diverge in the complex” Donald Cram
• Multiple binding sites are needed because non-covalent interactions are generally weak.
What is a macrocycle?
• In the context of molecular recognition or host-guest chemistry, a macrocycle can be conveniently defined as a cyclic molecule with convergent binding groups that are arranged to match the functionality of the guest molecule.

Chelate effect
complexes of polydentate ligands are more stable than those containing an equivalent number of monodentate ligands.
Ni2+ + 6 NH3 [Ni(NH3)6]2+
G = -51.7 kj/mol
Ni2+ + 3 NH2CH2CH2NH2 [Ni(NH2CH2CH2NH2)3] 2+
G = -101.1 kj/mol
Macrocyclic effect
Macrocyclic effect: complexes with macrocyclic ligands are more stable than those with polydentate open ligands containing an equal number of equivalent donor atoms.
Macrocyclic effect
Zn2+ + A [ZnA]2+ G = -64.2 kJ/mol
Zn2+ + B [ZnB]2+ G = -87.5 kJ/mol

Preorganization
• If a host does not undergo a significant conformational change upon guest binding, it is said to be preorganized.

Macrocyclic tetraamides
• Macrocyclic ligands containing four amide (NHC=O) functionalities separated by suitable bridging units.

Macrocyclic tetraamides
• In this workB1 = B3 = phenyl ring
B2 = B4 = ethene group
• There are sixteen (16) possibilities to arrange the four amide groups for a given set of bridging units, depending on whether the amide group is attached to a bridging unit through its amide nitrogen or carbon atom.

Summary
• The two neutral macrocycle tetraamides studied in this work exhibit pronounced affinity toward cations (Li+) and anions(F-, Cl-) respectively.
• Size complementarity seems to determine binding selectivity for the anions: Cl- anion is too bulky to be included in the cavity, whereas the smaller F- anion fits well.
• Conformational changes upon Li+ complexation are far more pronounced than in F- or Cl- complexation.
Summary
• In particular, the free ligand (in the case of Li+ complexation) is stabilized by two N-H…O=C intramolecular H-bonding interactions. Li+ complexation involves then the breaking of these two intramolecular H-bonds.
• Intramolecular hydrogen bonds involving the amide oxygens are shown to enhance F- binding. A gain of about 4 kcal/mol in the binding energy is obtained per H-bond added in the macrocyle.
Summary
• The existence of two binding cavities, one for anion and the other for cation binding, results in a sizeable polarization of the ligand. This polarization enhances cooperatively the ion-pair binding of the ligand.
