0　Introduction

An inverted cucurbit[6]uril(i Q[6],Fig.1)was first reported by Isaacs and Kim in 2005[1-2],and since then only a couple of theoretical investigations on their potential properties have been reported[3-4].A low synthetic yield and difficulties in separating i Q[n]s has hindered their investigation.Upon their discovery,it was suggested that i Q[n]s could selectively recognize guests by the shape and dimensions of their cavity[4].Indeed,X-ray crystallographyand1HNMR spectroscopy revealed interesting host-guest interactions between i Q[6]and p-phenylenediaminium in both the solid state and aqueous solution.Two different complexes were observed in the solid state:an inclusion structure and a sandwich structure.In aqueous solution,the i Q [6]host can accommodate the p-phenylenediaminium guest,but the guest favours staying outside the pores of the i Q[6]host,and guest exchange is fast on the NMR time scale[5].

We recently developed a convenientmethod for isolating i Q[6]from the normal cucurbit[6]uril(Q[6]) by column chromatography using a Dowex resin[6]. Then we investigated the coordination properties of i Q[6]with variousmetal ions.Obtaining solid crystals of i Q[6]/M+by simplymixing i Q[6]with alkali salts was proved difficult,without the addition of a structure directing agent such as tetrachloride zincate anion ([ZnCl4]2-).However,in thepresenceof[ZnCl4]2-,reaction of alkaline earth cations(AE2+)and the inverted cucurbit[6]uril(i Q[6])yielded linear coordination polymers in which i Q[6]and AE2+cations are directly coordinated to themetal ions.In contrast,in the i Q[6]-Mg2+-[ZnCl4]2-HCl system,there was no direct coordination between i Q[6]and Mg2+or Zn2+,presumably due to the shorter ionic radii preventing direct coordination[6].Recently,we found that the coordination of i Q[6]with Ln3+gave rise to differentinteraction products and isomorphous groups with the heavier lanthanides. The interaction of i Q[6]with lighter lanthanides such as La3+,Ce3+,Pr3+and Nd3+immediately yielded precipitation or single crystal solids,whereas interaction of i Q[6]with Sm3+and Eu3+did notgenerate solidmaterial. Interaction of i Q[6]with heavier lanthanides gave rise to three isomorphous groups with different structure features,with Gd3+,Tb3+,Dy3+and Ho3+forming one group,Er3+,Tm3+and Yb3+forming a separate group, and Lu3+differing from both of these groups[7].

In the present work,i Q[6]was used as a ligand, and its coordination with alkali cations(M+)in supramolecular assemblieswas investigated in the presence of the structure directing agent[ZnCl4]2-.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the i Q[6]-M+-[ZnCl4]2--HCl interaction systems consisted of a supramolecular assembly of i Q[6]/M+complexesand[ZnCl4]2-anions,in which[ZnCl4]2-anions are assembled into a honeycomb-like frameworks via outer surface interactions between i Q[6]s.The linear coordination polymers of i Q[6]hosts coordinated to M+cations(A=Na,K,Rb) fill the poresorchannels in the[ZnCl4]2-framework[8-10].

1　Experimental

1.1Reagents and instrument

All chemicals including alkali metal chlorides (MCl)were of reagent grade and were used without further purification.i Q[6]was prepared as described previously[1].Elemental analysiswas carried out on a EURO EA-3000 elemental analyzer.

1.2Preparation of titled com pounds

A similar process was used to prepare crystals forall i Q[6]-M+-[ZnCl4]2--HCl systems.Specifically,MCl (0.15 mmol,M=Na,K,Rb)and ZnCl2(14.79mg,0.12 mmol)were dissolved in 1 mLH2O to prepare solution A,and i Q[6](20 mg,0.015 mmol)was dissolved in 1 mL 6 mol·L-1HCl to prepare solution B.Solution B was then slow ly added to solution A and stirred.X-ray diffraction-quality crystals were obtained by slowly evaporation after 7 days.

1.3X-ray crystallography

A suitable single crystal(～0.2 mm×0.2 mm×0.1 mm)was embedded in paraffin oil and mounted on a Bruker SMART ApexⅡCCD diffractometer equipped with a graphite-monochromated Mo Kαradiation source (λ=0.071 07 3 nm,μ=0.828mm-1),which was operated in theω-scan mode under a nitrogen stream(-50℃). Datawere corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects using the SAINT program[11],and semi-empirical absorption corrections based on equivalent reflections were applied using the SADABS program[12].The structure was elucidated through directmethods,and full-matrix least-squares refinement of F2values was performed using SHELXS-97[13]and SHELXL-97[14].All nonhydrogen atomswere refined anisotropically,and carbon -bound hydrogen atoms were introduced at calculated positions and treated as riding atoms with an isotropic displacement parameter equal to 1.2 times that of the parent atom.Most of the watermolecules were omitted using the SQUEEZE option of the PLATON program[15]. A total of 8,including 1 protonated watermolecules, 25,including 3 protonated water molecules and 18, including 2 protonated watermoleculeswere squeezed for compounds 1,2,and 3,respectively.Analytical expressions for neutral-atom scattering factors were employed,and anomalous dispersion corrections were incorporated.Details of the crystal parameters,data collection conditions,and refinement parameters for the three compounds are summarized in Table1.

Fig.2　Crystal structure of compound 1:(a)Overall view of the supramolecular assembly constructed from i Q[6]/Na+complexes and ZnCl4]2-and[Zn(H2O)Cl3]-anions along the b axis;(b)Zn anion-based honeycomb-like framework;(c)Linear i Q[6]/Na+-based coordination polymer;(d)Interaction of i Q[6]with Zn-based anions;(e)Coordination of i Q[6]with Na cations

Fig.2shows the structure of compound 1.The supramolecular assembly is based on[ZnCl4]2-and [Zn(H2O)Cl3]-anions in which complexes of i Q[6]and Na+cations(Fig.2a)occupy the pores within the honeycomb-like framework constructed from[ZnCl4]2-and[Zn(H2O)Cl3]-anions(Fig.2b).Each hollow in the honeycomb is occupied by one i Q[6]-Na+-based linear coordination polymer(Fig.2a,2c).Closer inspection of Fig.2a reveals that each i Q[6]molecule interactswith six Zn-based anions(four[ZnCl4]2-anions and two[Zn(H2O)Cl3]-anions)through ion-dipole interactions between Zn-based anions and the electropositive outer surface of i Q[6].The distance between chlorides from [ZnCl4]2-anions and methine or methylene carbons on the outer surface of i Q[6]ranged between 0.342 4 and 0.388 2 nm,and an additional hydrogen bond is present between a coordinated water molecule(O1W)bound to a[Zn(H2O)Cl3]-anion and a portal carbonyl oxygen (O8)of the i Q[6]-Na+complex,with a O1W-O8 distance of 0.270 5 nm(Fig.2d).Each i Q[6]molecule coordinates with four sodium cations,and each i Q[6] portal coordinates two Na1 and Na2 cations.Four carbonyloxygens(O11,O12 to Na1 and O8,O9 to Na2) form the top portal of i Q[6](Fig.2e),and both Na1 and Na2 cations coordinate with water molecules O2W, O3W and a carbonyl oxygen(O1)from a neighboring i Q[6]molecule.Furthermore,four carbonyl oxygens (O1,O2 to Na1 and O1,O6 to Na2)form the bottom portal of the i Q[6](Fig.2e),and again both Na1 and Na2 cations coordinate with water molecules O2W,O3W and a carbonyl oxygen(O1)from another neighboring i Q[6]molecule,with a Na+-portal carbonyl oxygen distanceof0.2286～0.261 7nm,and aNa+-Owaterdistance of 0.237 8～0.243 7 nm.

Fig.3showsstructureof compound 2.Fig.3a shows a similar supramolecular assembly,comprised of[ZnCl4]2-and[Zn(H2O)Cl3]-anions surrounded with i Q[6]moleculesand K+cationsby non-covalent interaction.Again,the[ZnCl4]2-and[Zn(H2O)Cl3]-anions form a honeycomb-like framework(Fig.3b),and the i Q[6] -K+-based linear coordination polymers occupy the pores in this framework via outer surface interactions with the electropositive surface of Q[n](Fig.3a,c).Five [ZnCl4]2-anionsand three[Zn(H2O)Cl3]-anionssurround each i Q[6]molecule in the assembly,and close inspection reveals detailed interactions that include:(1)an ion-dipole interaction between a[ZnCl4]2-chloride and amethine ormethylene carbon from the outer surface of i Q[6],with a distanceof0.341 2～0.375 5 nm(dashed lines in Fig.3d);(2)an ion-dipole interaction between a[ZnCl4]2-chloride and an electron deficient carbonyl carbon with a distance of 0.327 6～0.336 2 nm(dashed lines in Fig.3d);(3)a hydrogen bond between a water molecule coordinated to the[Zn(H2O)Cl3]-anion or K+cation and a portal carbonyl oxygen or chloride from the [Zn(H2O)Cl3]-anion,with a distance of 0.309 2～0.341 6 nm(dashed lines in Fig.3d).There is an additional interaction between a coordinated K+cation(K4)and a[ZnCl4]2-anion,with K-Cl distances of 0.325 9 and 0.328 9 nm,respectively(Fig.3d).Each i Q[6]in compound 2 is also coordinated to four K+cations(K1 and K2 from one portal,and K3 and K4 from the other portal.K1 coordinates to eight oxygen atoms,two carbonyl oxygens(O1,O2),and six watermolecules (O4W,O5W,O6W,O7W,O10W and O11W);K2 coordinates to seven oxygen atoms,four carbonyloxygens(O3,O4,and O13,O14 from a neighbouring i Q[6]molecule),and three water molecules(O9W, O8W and O7W);K3 coordinates only to three carbonyl oxygens(O7,O12 and O21 from another neighbouring i Q[6]molecule);K4 coordinates only to two carbonyl oxygens(O11 and O21 from another neighbouring i Q[6] molecule).Distances between K+and portal carbonyl oxygens are in the range of 0.232 2～0.321 2 nm,and K+-Owaterdistances are 0.236 2～0.297 4 nm.

Compound 3hasasimilarsupramolecularassembly to 1 and 2 described above,in which[ZnCl4]2-and [Zn(H2O)Cl3]-anions form ahoneycomb-like framework, and i Q[6]molecules coordinated with Rb+cations form a linear coordination polymer that is inserted in the cells of the framework(Fig.4a～c).Each i Q[6]molecule is surrounded by three[ZnCl4]2-anions and three [Zn(H2O)Cl3]-anions through ion-dipole interactions between a[ZnCl4]2-chlorideand amethineormethylene carbon on the outer surface of i Q[6],with a distance of0.338 1～0.371 2 nm(Fig.4d).An additionalhydrogen bond is present between watermolecule(O1W)coordinated to the[Zn(H2O)Cl3]-anion and portal carbonyl oxygen(O9),with a distance of 0.268 3 nm(dashed lines in Fig.4d).Each i Q[6]is also coordinated to rubidium cation Rb1 at both portals.Rb1 coordinates to five oxygen atoms(carbonyl oxygensO1,O2 and O10 and O11 from a neighboring i Q[6]),and one water molecule(O2W).The Rb+-portal carbonyl oxygen distance is 0.278 4～0.301 9 nm,and the K+-Owaterdistance is 0.305 6 nm(Fig.4e).

The crystal structures therefore revealed a similar Zn-based honeycomb-like framework filled with linear i Q[6]/M+-based coordination polymers for all three compounds(Fig.2a,3a,4a).However,closer inspection revealed a slightly different arrangement of the linear i Q[6]/M+-based coordination polymers that led to different porous supramolecular assemblies with different alkali metal ions.With Na+(compound 1),i Q[6]/Na+-based coordination polymers are arranged tightly, with noobvious free space.In contrast,with K+and Rb+(compounds2and 3,respectively),the zigzag-like i Q[6]/ K+and Rb+-based coordination polymersare arranged into different porous assemblies(Fig.5).

3　Conclusions

In the present study,we discovered that iQ[6] forms linear coordination polymers with alkali metal ions(M+)in the presence of[ZnCl4]2-anion structuredirecting agents.The supramolecular assemblies consist of a[ZnCl4]2-based honeycomb-like framework that interacts with the electropositive outer surface of i Q[6]through ion-dipole interactions.The electronegative environment presumably attracts the M+cations to the portals of i Q[6],resulting in their coordination and formation of the 1D coordination polymers.Interestingly,different M+cations resulted in the formation of different supramolecular assemblies with different structural features.In particular the pore size was dependent on the ionic diameter of the cation.The resultant supramolecular assembliesmight give rise to different absorption characteristics,and furtherinvestigation is underway in our laboratory.

Coordination in supramolecular assemblies formed in aqueous HCl solution was investigated by reacting alkali cations(M+)and inverted cucurbit[6]uril(i Q[6])in the presence of the structure-directing agent tetrachloride zincate anion([ZnCl4]2-).Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the i Q[6]-M+-[ZnCl4]2--HCl interaction systems yielded a supramolecular assembly consisting of i Q[6]/M+-based linear coordination polymers residing within the pores of a honeycomb-like framework of[ZnCl4]2-anions.Close inspection revealed that different i Q[6]/M+/[ZnCl4]2--based supramolecular assemblies(M=Na,K,Rb)presented different porous conformations and displayed differentabsorption properties.CCDC:1469246,1;1469247,2;1469248,3.
