Supramolecular interaction of diamino calix[4]arene derivative with nucleotides at the air-water interface
The properties of the monolayer of 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis (2-aminoexthoxy)-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene and its recognition capacity for 5´-AMP- and 5´-GMP2- at the air-water interface were investigated. π-A isotherms and relaxation experiments indicate that it is able to form stable monolayers on pure water and two nucleotide-containing subphases.Mor eover, the nucleotides in subphase are beneficial to the stability of its monolayer.The UV, CD, and FT-IR spectra of LB films from three subphases reveal that 5´-AMP- and 5´-GMP2- in subphase can be transferred onto the substrates along with the monolayer mainly via multiple hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions.The host-guest complexes of 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis(2-aminoexthoxy)-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene and nucleotides at the air-water interface were studied through the analysis of the X-ray photoelectron spectra data of LB films.The results indicate that 5´-AMP- and 5´-GMP2- were bound to y 2y the calixw4xarene monolayer in 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratio, respectively. Two intermolecular interaction patterns are proposed and the binding constants are estimated to be 1.4 ± 0.1x105 and 1.1 ± 0.2x105 M for 5´-AMP- and 5´-GMP2-, respectively.
