Abstract

The construction of supramolecular architectures through a subcomponent self-assembly approach typically involves the reaction of a pyridine-based aldehyde with an amine, leading to the formation of a diiminopyridine framework.[1] This well-established strategy has been widely utilized in the synthesis of functional molecular architectures. However, replacing diiminopyridine with an iminopyrrole synthon was envisioned as a means to introduce greater coordinational flexibility, thereby facilitating the design and synthesis of structurally diverse, mechanically interlocked molecules. Such a modification not only expands the scope of supramolecular chemistry but also enables the exploration of new structural motifs with novel physicochemical properties.
Iminopyrrole synthons have been previously employed in the construction of macrocycles and molecular cages, demonstrating their utility in forming rigid yet tunable frameworks.[2,3] Their inherent electronic properties make them particularly suitable for self-assembly processes involving metal coordination. Given these advantages, the use of diformylpyrrole in reactions targeting mechanically interlocked molecules provided evidence that iminopyrrole synthons can serve as a full-fledged alternative to iminopyridines in the synthesis of metal-stabilized architectures.[4] This substitution not only retained the structural integrity of the resulting assemblies but also introduced new dynamic behavior.

About the speaker

Bartosz was born in 1986 in Koszalin, Poland. Since 2005, he has been associated with the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Wrocław, where in 2010 he graduated from biological and organic chemistry. In 2014 Bartosz defended his doctoral dissertation focused on aceneporphyrinoids carried out under the supervision of prof. Lechosław Latos-Grażyński. In 2015 he completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the group of prof. Jonathan Nitschke at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, where he worked on the synthesis of supramolecular capsules using the method of subcomponents self-assembly. Currently, Bartosz is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Wrocław.
