Abstract It is often said that pnictogen‐bonding catalysis, and σ ‐hole catalysis in general, would not work aqueous systems because the solvent interfere as an overcompetitive pnictogen‐bond acceptor. In this study, we show transfer of from hydrophobic solvents to possible by replacing only with hydrophilic substrates, without changing catalyst or reaction. This differs conventional covalent Lewis acid catalysts, which are instantaneously destroyed ligand exchange. With their water‐proof substituents place exchangeable ligands, supramolecular counterpart evinced catalyze hydrogenation quinolines neutral systems. To secure these results, introduce a water‐soluble fluorogenic substrate releases coumarin upon reduction instead activated quinolidiniums, stiborane catalysts deepened holes. They demonstrate can operate higher‐order architectures for under biologically relevant conditions, provide operational assay high‐throughput screening fluorescence imaging, situ conditions.

Abstract The objective of this study was to create artificial enzymes that capitalize on pnictogen bonding, a σ‐hole interaction is essentially absent in biocatalysis.

Carboxylates preferred by contribute hydrogen‐bonded ion pairing anion‐π interactions emerging pyridinium product. challenging stereoselectivity aqueous systems further emphasizes compatibility bonding higher order catalysis.

Exploiting novel noncovalent interactions for catalysis design represents a fascinating direction. For the flexible and relatively weak anion−π interactions, manipulation of two or more π-acidic surfaces cooperative activation is highly desirable. Here, we demonstrate strategy based on chiral molecular cages with V-shaped electron-deficient cavities synergic binding dicarbonyl electrophiles toward enantioselective desymmetrization transformation. The were readily synthesized by incorporation additional base sites in one step. efficiently catalyzed methanolytic series meso cyclic anhydrides nearly quantitative yields up to 94% ee. In contrast, non-cage analogues simple control catalysts showed sluggish conversion much lower enantioselectivity. Crystal structure, substrate studies, theoretical modeling consistently suggested essential role cage harnessing efficient excellent selectivity control.

Anion-π interaction is a non-covalent in host-guest chemistry.In general, aromatic π-systems are regarded as electron rich and may have repulsive interactions with negatively charged systems.Therefore, the anion-π interaction, which seems counterintuitive, has attracted remarkable attention since it was first reported.And surprisingly, shown broad significant potential applications various fields, including molecular recognition, catalysis, self-assembly, aggregation-induced luminescent materials, design synthesis of novel anionic receptors.This review focuses on research progress fields theoretical studies, receptor synthesis, luminescence last decade.Finally, application prospects field supramolecular chemistry will be provided.
