Description

PHENYLACETYLENES PRIORITY CLAIM
This claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 61/755,773, filed January 23, 2013, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
This invention was made with government support under grant number R01-GM087398 awarded by National Institutes of Health. The government has certain rights in the invention.
BACKGROUND
The synthesis of new molecules designed to bind or sense and report the presence of a particular substrate is an area of chemistry that is attracting attention. There exists a general lack of ligand- specific host molecules, such as specific hosts for toxic ions and small molecules of interest. There also is a dearth of specific hosts that report binding events, for example by exhibiting a spectral shift upon binding, such as an altered fluorescent response. In fact, structures of fluorescent coordination complexes are generally poorly understood, which makes the rational design of functional hosts and sensors a challenging undertaking.
Interest in supramolecular sensors for the detection of analytes has received considerable attention over the past two decades. Such systems exploit non-covalent interactions between a guest molecule and a host molecule to induce a change in the host (e.g. NMR shift, color, fluorescence, electrochemical behavior etc.). These systems are advantageous when compared to chemodosimeters because these non-covalent interactions are reversible, which allows one to monitor an analyte dynamically. Arguably the most powerful of these sensors exploit a
fluorescence/colorimetric change due to their inherent sensitivity.
The detection of ionic species, in particular the selective detection of a particular ionic species in the presence of another is difficult. The detection of anionic species is a particular challenge, as anions are difficult to bind and are generally larger than cations leading to a smaller charge-to-radius ratio. SUMMARY
Disclosed herein are host or receptor compounds that bind targets of interest. In one embodiment the compounds bind ions, such as metal ions. In particular, toxic metal ions, including anions and cations are bound by embodiments of the disclosed host compounds.
Disclosed herein in one embodiment is a compound, or a protonate or salt thereof, having the formula of:

As such, the compounds can be provided in one or more physical form, such as different crystal forms, crystalline, liquid crystalline or noncrystalline (amorphous) forms. Such different physical forms of the compounds can be prepared using, for example different solvents or different mixtures of solvents for recrystallization.
Alternatively or additionally, different polymorphs can be prepared, for example, by performing recrystallizations at different temperatures and/or by altering cooling rates during recrystallization. The presence of polymorphs can be determined by X-ray crystallography, or in some cases by another spectroscopic technique, such as solid phase NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, or by differential scanning calorimetry.

Existing fluorescent sensors that are used for the detection of chloride anions typically undergo a fluorescent quenching mechanism. Disclosed herein is a fully organic fluorescent sensor (compound of formula II) that turns on in the presence of chloride in aqueous solvents or mixtures. For example, the compound may be used in aqueous mixtures that include an acid source such as, for example, trifluoroacetic acid, acetic acid, tetrafluoroboric acid, or formic acid. The compound may also be a fully organic fluorescent sensor that turns on in a methanol-containing mixture. In order to overcome the problem of halide quenching, an aggregation induced emission mechanism is exploited whereby host-guest complexes aggregate and subsequently fluoresce. These systems could prove to be valuable for chloride imaging and provide a proof a concept towards using aggregation induced emission to detect notoriously hard to detect analytes.
The terminal urea compounds of formula II display a fluorescence turn-on response in an aqueous environment. The terminal urea compounds of formula II are fully organic sensors that can turn "on" in water. By "fully organic" it is meant that the compounds are not inorganic-based nanoparticles, or organometallic complexes. In certain embodiments, the compounds of Formula II are selective for chloride in aqueous systems. Although not bound by any theory, it is believed that the fluorescence is turned "on" due to aggregation induced emission (AIE). Unlike most 1 : 1 host/guest sensors, it is believed that the compound of formula II hydrogen bonds to chloride, which causes the fluorophore to rigidify and allows for intermolecular stacking between fluorophore-guest subunits. These stacks (not the 1 :1 host/guest complex itself) are highly emissive. In a further embodiment the compounds, or salts thereof, have the formula III:

b is 0 to 2;
n is 1 or 2;

In certain embodiments, the compounds of formula III provide a neutral core that presents an acidic proton to the core for anion binding meaning that the compounds of formula III do not require protonation for binding.
The compounds disclosed herein are inclusive of their protonated forms, salt forms, and N- oxide forms.
The disclosed host compounds are useful for binding and/or detecting ligands, in particular ionic ligands, including cationic and anionic ligands. The ligands may be inorganic or organic, but generally are inorganic. Typically, for binding anionic ligands, host compounds are protonated. Particular examples of anionic ligands bound and/or recognized by the disclosed host compounds include, without limitation sulfate, hydrogen sulfate, perchlorate or nitrate. Exemplary host compounds exhibit ligand binding selectivity or recognition. The host compounds may exhibit selectivity in binding of the ligand or reporting of a ligand's presence. For example, a spectral property of a host compound, such as fluorescence, may shift upon binding certain ligands, but not others. Examples of the disclosed host compounds have been designed to bind to salts containing particular metals, particularly toxic metals, including without limitation Pb, As, Zn, U, Ca, Cd and Hg.
It has been demonstrated for exemplary compounds disclosed herein that the spectral properties, such as the UV-Vis spectra shift noticeably upon binding of different guests. For example, the extended conjugation inherent in 2,6-bis(2-anilinoethynyl)pyridines derivatives produces distinct emission properties that will be used to monitor interactions with guest molecules. Exemplary compounds can distinguish between different anionic guests such as between CI", which induces a shift in the UV-vis spectra of certain compounds, and Br", which does not induce such shifts.
This discriminatory ability is most marked when the receptor is protonated. This indicates that these specific receptors can discriminate between different guests and are pH sensitive and can be tailored for use in solutions of specific acidity. Examples
A synthesis scheme for an example of a compound of formula I is shown below:

First, 2-iodoaniline is reacted with potassium cyanate to afford the ureido-functionalized intermediate 1. Compound 1 is then ethynylated using standard Sonogashira cross coupling techniques giving the TMS -protected intermediate 2. Deprotection of 2 is achieved using potassium carbonate in methanol and the resulting product 3 is coupled to 2,6-dibromo-4- nitropyridine using standard Sonogashira cross coupling techniques. Compound 4 is then reacted with 2-dimethylaminoethanol and potassium carbonate to yield the desired product 5 in modest yields.
Compound 5 is soluble in water when protonated. For these studies samples were prepared as their corresponding trifluoroacetic acid salts. A 500 μΜ stock solution of 5 was prepared using 1% TFA (aqueous). This stock solution was then divided into 10 x 1 mL aliquots. To each aliquot was added a different sodium salt (500 fold excess in relation to the host).
The most immediate observation was that many of the solutions became opaque upon addition of a sodium salt. Upon examination using a handheld, 365 nm UV-lamp it became apparent that the cloudy solutions were also fluorescent (Figure 2). Furthermore, it was noticed that the solution containing NaCl fluoresced a very distinct blue-green color. A noticeable feature is that this sensor appears to be selective for chloride over other halides and other common interferents. For example, when samples are excited at 425 nm only chloride (and to a much lesser extent perchlorate) fluoresce. This sensor takes advantage of AIE in order to overcome this obstacle.
Remarkably, this aggregation behavior does not follow the anticipated Hoffmeister series indicating that the fluorescence turn-on is not simply due to a salting out effect, but rather is due to a specific chloride-host interaction. Although not bound by any theory, it is believed that when a suitable guest is present it binds inside of the host via a penta-coordinate hydrogen bond framework leading to a restriction of rotation. With the molecule locked in a rigid conformation it aggregates, and the resulting aggregates fluoresce. When a guest is present that doesn't fit as well aggregation may occur, but fluorescence features are significantly diminished.
In order to investigate relative binding affinities for various salts ¾ NMR titrations were performed with the TFA protonated host in DMSO-d6/0.5 H20. While these titration are not a direct comparison to aqueous systems shown in Figure 2 they provide evidence that compound 5 preferentially binds CI" over other anions (Table 1). Table 1
