A novel pH-responsive molecular recognition motif was built between an anionic carboxylate group modified resorcin[4]arene and paraquat in water. We then employed it to fabricate a supra-amphiphile for controllable self-assembly.

A water-soluble hybrid[4]arene was synthesized for the first time and its pH-responsive host–guest complexation with paraquat in water was investigated. This new host–guest recognition motif was further applied in the construction of a supra-amphiphile.

The first water-soluble biphen[3]arene was synthesized. Its pH-responsive host–guest complexation with secondary ammonium salts in water was investigated. This novel recognition motif was further used in controllable self-assembly and controlled release.

A water-soluble 2,2′-biphen[4]arene (2,2’-CBP4) containing eight carboxylato moieties was synthesized and characterized. Its complexation behavior towards two alkaloids, palmatine (P) and berberine (B), was investigated by means of fluorescence and 1H NMR spectroscopy in aqueous phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4). In the presence of 2,2’-CBP4, 1H NMR signals of P and B displayed very large upfield shifts, indicating the formation of inclusion complexes with strong binding affinities. Fluorescence titration experiments showed that P and B exhibited dramatic fluorescence enhancement of more than 600 times upon complexation with 2,2’-CBP4. Particularly, the fluorescence intensity is strong enough to be readily distinguished by the naked eye. Although the two guests have similar structures, the association constant of B with 2,2’-CBP4 (K a = (2.29 ± 0.27) × 106 M−1) is 3.9 times larger than that of P (K a = (5.87 ± 0.24) × 105 M−1).
