The impetus for this synthes is were previously reported X-ray crystallographic investigations of CB[7] with adamantane ammonium ions. 'Crystal structure based molecular design suggested that each of the two cations of a new i-symmetry diamantane diam inium guest would simultaneously interact with a different portal. The cry stal structure of CB[7]/1 allowed us to identify some of the structural fe atures responsible for the ultratight binding including the distance betwe en the NMe3+ groups of 1 (7.78 Å) which allows it to establish 14 optimal ion-dipole interactions with CB[7]\, the complementarity of the convex van der Waals surface contours of 1 with the corresponding concave surfaces o f CB[7]\, desolvation of the C=O portals within the CB[7]/1 complex\, and the co-linearity of the C7-axis of CB[7] with the N+...N+ line in 1.\n The induced fit principle is involved in the binding process. As part of the d esign process (using published and in-house) crystal structures\, ΔΔit bec ame apparent that primary ammonium guests would tilt towards the portal wa lls in order to generate hydrogen-bonds with a very limited number of port al carbonyl oxygens. On the other hand\, quaternary ammonium guests underg o +N-CH3….–.δO=C and +N-CquatCH2….–.δO=C electrostatic interactions with a ll the binding sites of the host.\n DTSTART:20160509T160000Z DTEND:20160509T173000Z LOCATION:Room 112\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8 \, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Seminar by Prof. Robert Glaser: A Perfect Pair - Cucurbit[7]uril /D iamantane Guest with an Attomolar Dissociation Constant URL:/chemistry/channels/event/seminar-prof-robert-glas er-perfect-pair-cucurbit7uril-diamantane-guest-attomolar-dissociation-2606 95 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
