Abstract

Abstract Dynamic combinatorial chemistry deals with systems (libraries) of multiple compounds formed by reversible reactions. Interactions of all library components with introduced template molecule are reflected in modification of library composition and are analysed simultaneously. In our studies we investigated a single-substrate dynamic combinatorial library of macrocycles, based on dipicolinic acid diamide, with disulphide bond exchange as the reversible reaction. The library components equipped with hydrogen bond donors interact with anionic guests – carboxylates which act as templates inducing amplification of selected library members. We proved that quantitative analysis of interactions with templates is possible, which led us to a novel method of analysis of association constants of static receptors introduced to the system. With a large set of carboxylates differing in number of anionic groups, size, shape, and flexibility of the linker, we proved that the library is very sensitive to structural parameters of the template. We also showed that with mediation of a photoswitchable azobenzene-based template it is possible to change the library composition by light stimulus. Similarly, with mediation of EDTA the library is sensitive to introduction of metal cations.
