Nanotechnology
The essence of nanotechnology is the ability to workat the molecular level, atom by atom, to create largestructures with fundamentally new molecular
organization.
Compared to the behavior of isolated molecules ofabout 1 nm or of bulk materials, behavior of structuralfeatures in the range of about 10-9 to 10-7 m (1 to 100
nm) exhibit important differences that are not yet fullyexplained by explained by theory.

What is Supramolecular Chemistry ?
Supramolecular chemistry is the chemistry of theintermolecular bond, covering the structures andfunctions of the entities formed by the associationof two or more chemical species
J.-M- Lehn
"Supramolecular chemistryis defined as chemistry
beyond the Molecule, as chemistry of tailorshaped inter-molecular interaction.

What is supramolecular chemistry?Where did it come from?
Why does it deserve to be a field of study all its own?
the study on non-covalent & intermolecular forces and the
structures created by these forces: chemistry beyond themolecule
inspired from biology and built on the shoulders oftraditional synthetic organic chemistry
the next logical step in synthetic chemistry; understandingand interface with the biological world; nanotechnology

Metallosupramolecular chemistry
The ultimate goal of metallosupramolecular chemistry, as in thesupramolecular chemistry of organic systems, is to assemble metalcomplexes that may be applied to various tasks at hand, e.g., lightharvesting, cation and anion sensing, and the photosplitting of water. Thekey to any supramolecular system is that the properties of the individualsub-units are still found in the final structure, i.e., that we still have asupramolecular system and not a supermolecule

Supermolecules
A supermolecule may still possess interestingproperties or functions, but is not composed ofindependent subunits that work in together to deliversupramolecular properties.

Emil Fischer: The Lock & Key
1894: Recognized even before molecular structure waswell understood that shape matters.
In order for two species to interact in a specific fashion,they must have complementaryshape & chemistry like a
key fitting into a lock.
Wins Nobel Prize in 1902.

1987 Nobel Prize
1987 Nobel prize in chemistry goes to:
* Donald J. Cram (1919-2001), UCLA, USA
* Jean-Marie Lehn (1939-), U. Louis Pasteur,France
* Charles J. Pedersen (1904-1989), Du Pont, USA
for their development and use of molecules withstructure-specific interactions of high selectivity

Charles J. Pedersen
Discovered essentially by accident Think about structure. 3D shape. Geometry.
Computer simulations and CPK models Prepared an entire series of crown-ethers each withtheir own particular selectivity for various cations
Selectivity base primarily on size:Li 1.36 14-crown-4 1.2-1.5Na 1.94 15-crown-5 1.7-2.2K 2.66 18-crown-6 2.6-3.2

Donald J. Cram
Synthesized a huge series of increasingly complicatedhost-guestsystems that bind molecules instead of just ions
and eventually tries to emulate an enzyme catalytic site.
Introduces the idea of a carcerand - synthetic molecular
(jail) cells. Q: What other carcerands can you think of?
Primary contribution is to show how importantpreorganizationis to binding strength.

How do you tell which is a host & which is a guest?
binding sites face inward, or converge
binding sites face outward, or diverge
Two or more molecules held togetherin a unique structural relationship bynon-covalent(weak) forces.

Hydrogen bonding Strong N-HF, moderate N-HOH and weak C-HCl-
Pi-stacking interactions
Electrostatic (ion-ion, ion-dipole and dipole-diple)
Dispersion and induction forces (van der Waals)
Coordinate bonding

Interaction Energies

Interaction Energies
Bond energy of a single covalent bond X-Y 350 kJ mol-1
Bond energy of a triple bond e.g N2 942 kJ mol-1
Non-covalent interactions can range from 2 kJ mol-1
to 20 kJ mol-1
for a hydrogen bond and 250 kJ mol-1
for an ion-ion interaction
POWER OF SUPRAMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY is inthe combination of a number of these interactions
Example of electrostatic interactions

Example of electrostatic interactions- Valinomycin
Valinomycin (VM) is a dodecadepsipeptide,that is it is made of twelve alternating aminoacids and hydroxy acids to form a
macrocyclic molecule. It is a member of thegroup of natural neutral ionophores becauseit doesn't have a residual charge.
It is a naturally occurring macrocylic antibioticthat selectively transports potassium cationsacross mitochondiral membranes in thePRESENCE of sodium cations
Confromation of Valinomycin is stabilised byNCOHN hydrogen bonds. K+ is bound bythe O= atoms of the ester groups

Valinomycin
K+ is complexed by the ester group oxygen atoms
Once complexed it can be efficiently transportedthroughthe hydrophobic membrane.
The membrane is lipophilic and so will not normallyallow charged species to pass through
The exterior has greasy alkyl groups providing thecomplex with solubility

Metallosupramolecular chemistry
The term metallosupramolecular chemistry wascoined in the early 90s to describe supramolecularc o o r d i n a t i o n c h e m i s t r y . T h i s s u b - f i e l d o f
supramolecular chemistry started off by examining themetal-directed self-assembly of discrete structures andsoon expanded to infinite structures. Although metal
directed self-assembly proved to be a powerful tool tobuild up large supramolecular structures, the true goalhas always been the assembly of architectures withspecific functions.
