文摘

A biphenyl photosensitizer axle was implanted into the cavities of native and capped γ-cyclodextrins through rotaxanation using a cucubit[6]uril-templated azide–alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, resulting in the construction of highly defined chiral binding/sensitizing sites. The orientation and interaction of the axle and capping moieties at the ground and excited states were interrogated by NMR, UV–vis, circular dichroism, and fluorescence spectroscopic studies. In situ photoisomerization of (Z,Z)-1,3-cyclooctadiene sensitized in the cavity of these [4]rotaxanes afforded (Z,E)-1,3-cyclooctadiene in up to 15.3% ee, which represents the highest level of enantiodifferentiation obtained to date for this supramolecular photochirogenesis.
