Host-Guest Binding Free Energies à la Carte: An Automated OneOPES Protocol.

Estimating absolute binding free energies from molecular simulations is a key step in computer-aided drug design pipelines, but the agreement between computational results and experiments is still very inconsistent. Both the accuracy of the computational model and the quality of the statistical sampling contribute to this discrepancy, yet disentangling the two remains a challenge. In this study, we present an automated protocol based on OneOPES, an enhanced sampling method that exploits replica exchange and can accelerate several collective variables to address the sampling problem. We apply this protocol to 37 host-guest systems. The simplicity of setting up the simulations and producing well-converged binding free energy estimates without the need to optimize simulation parameters provides a reliable solution to the sampling problem. This, in turn, allows for a systematic force field comparison and ranking according to the correlation between simulations and experiments, which can inform the selection of an appropriate model. The protocol can be readily adapted to test more force field combinations and study more complex protein-ligand systems, where the choice of an appropriate physical model is often based on heuristic considerations rather than systematic optimization.

Gas adsorption meets geometric deep learning: points, set and match

Thanks to their unique properties such as ultra high porosity and surface area, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly regarded materials for gas adsorption applications. However, their combinatorial nature results in a vast chemical space, precluding its exploration with traditional techniques. Recently, machine learning (ML) pipelines have been established as the go-to method for large scale screening by means of predictive models. These are typically built in a descriptor-based manner, meaning that the structure must be first coarse-grained into a 1D fingerprint before it is fed to the ML algorithm. As such, the latter can not fully exploit the 3D structural information, potentially resulting in a model of lower quality. In this work, we propose a descriptor-free framework called “AIdsorb”, which can directly process raw structural information for predicting gas adsorption properties. To accomplish that, the structure is first treated as a point cloud and then passed to a deep learning algorithm suitable for point cloud analysis. As a proof of concept, AIdsorb is applied for predicting CO2\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\ ext {CO}_{2}$$\\end{document} uptake in MOFs, outperforming a conventional pipeline that uses geometric descriptors as input.

Catalytically Active Site Mapping Realized through Energy Transfer Modeling.

The demands of a sustainable chemical industry are a driving force for the development of heterogeneous catalytic platforms exhibiting facile catalyst recovery, recycling, and resilience to diverse reaction conditions. Homogeneous-to-heterogeneous catalyst transitions can be realized through the integration of efficient homogeneous catalysts within porous matrices. Herein, we offer a versatile approach to understanding how guest distribution and evolution impact the catalytic performance of heterogeneous host-guest catalytic platforms by implementing the resonance energy transfer (RET) concept using fluorescent model systems mimicking the steric constraints of targeted catalysts. Using the RET-based methodology, we mapped condition-dependent guest (re)distribution within a porous support on the example of modular matrices such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Furthermore, we correlate RET results performed on the model systems with the catalytic performance of two MOF-encapsulated catalysts used to promote CO2 hydrogenation and ring-closing metathesis. Guests are incorporated using aperture-opening encapsulation, and catalyst redistribution is not observed under practical reaction conditions, showcasing a pathway to advance catalyst recyclability in the case of host-guest platforms. These studies represent the first generalizable approach for mapping the guest distribution in heterogeneous host-guest catalytic systems, providing a foundation for predicting and tailoring the performance of catalysts integrated into various porous supports.

Hole-Transporting Materials Based on a Fluorene Unit for Efficient Optoelectronic Devices

Solution-processable hole-transporting materials (HTMs) that form highly soluble films and thermally stable amorphous states are essential for advancing optoelectronic devices. However, the currently commercialized HTM, N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N0-bis(phenyl)benzidine (TPD), exhibits poor solubility and limited carrier transport when spin-coated into thin films. Herein, to address these issues, a fluorenyl group was ingeniously incorporated into a series of molecules structurally similar to TPD. The resulting compounds, namely, 2,7-di-(N,N-diphenylamino)-9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluorene (DDF), 2,7-di-p-tolyl-(N,N-diphenylamino)-9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluorene (2M-DDF), and 2,7-di-tetra-p-tolyl-(N,N-diphenylamino)-9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluorene (4M-DDF), offered tunable energy levels, carrier transport, crystallinity, and steric configuration via adjustment of the number of terminal methyl groups. Owing to its satisfactory performance, 2M-DDF can serve as an effective alternative to TPD in OLED devices as well as a guest molecule in host–guest systems for long-afterglow materials. Devices incorporating 2M-DDF as the HTM, with an Alq3 emitter, achieved a maximum CE of 4.78 cd/A and a maximum L (Lmax) of 21,412 cd m−2, with a turn-on voltage (Von) of 3.8 V. The luminous efficiency of 2M-DDF was approximately five times that of TPD (4106 cd m−2). Furthermore, when 2M-DDF and TPD were utilized as guest molecules in afterglow materials, the afterglow duration of 2M-DDF (10 s) was 2.5 times that of TPD (4 s). This study provides a theoretical basis for the development of high-performance HTMs and long-afterglow materials, establishing a framework for the application of fluorene-based compounds in emerging fields such as long-afterglow materials.

Binding Selectivity Analysis from Alchemical Receptor Hopping and Swapping Free Energy Calculations.

We present receptor hopping and receptor swapping free energy estimation protocols based on the Alchemical Transfer Method (ATM) to model the binding selectivity of a set of ligands to two arbitrary receptors. The receptor hopping protocol, where a ligand is alchemically transferred from one receptor to another in one simulation, directly yields the ligand's binding selectivity free energy (BSFE) for the two receptors, which is the difference between the two individual binding free energies. In the receptor swapping protocol, the first ligand of a pair is transferred from one receptor to another while the second ligand is simultaneously transferred in the opposite direction. The receptor swapping free energy yields the differences in binding selectivity free energies of a set of ligands, which, when combined using a generalized DiffNet algorithm, yield the binding selectivity free energies of the ligands. We test these algorithms on host-guest systems and show that they yield results that agree with experimental data and are consistent with differences in absolute and relative binding free energies obtained by conventional methods. Preliminary applications to the selectivity analysis of molecular fragments binding to the trypsin and thrombin serine protease confirm the potential of the receptor swapping technology in structure-based drug discovery. The novel methodologies presented in this work are a first step toward streamlined and computationally efficient protocols for ligand selectivity optimization between mutants and homologous proteins.

Finely tuned energy gaps in host-guest complexes: Insights from belt[14]pyridine and fullerene-based nano-Saturn systems

Over the past few decades, doping, physisorption and chemisorption remained some of the commonly utilized methods to modify the energy gaps and electronic properties of materials. Yet, achieving precise control over tuning the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) levels within these systems persisted as a remarkable challenge. Therefore, there is a growing need for systems that facilitate exact adjustments of energy gaps and HOMO/LUMO levels. Here, in this research work, the nano-Saturn host-guest complex systems are designed based on belt[14]pyridine as a host and fullerene nanocages (C20, C32, C34 and C36) as guests. The greater thermodynamic stability of the complexes is revealed by the higher values of interaction energies (Eint) for these complexes, ranging from −45.50 to −56.81 kcal/mol. The frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis revealed the contribution of HOMO of fullerenes and LUMO of belt[14]pyridine towards the HOMO and LUMO of the designed complexes, respectively. The energy gaps of the complexes also decrease compared to the constituents, with the least Egap of 0.52 eV observed for C20@N-belt. Moreover, the charge transfer from the host towards the guests is predicted and confirmed via natural bond orbital (NBO) and electron density difference (EDD) analyses. The non-covalent interaction index (NCI) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analyses determine the nature and strength of interactions in the host-guest complexes. Moreover, it is noticed through the UV–vis analysis that the bare fullerenes show the maximum absorption in ultraviolet (UV) region, but after complexation, maximum absorption is observed in visible and near infrared (NIR) regions, with highest λmax of 927 nm for C36@N-belt. These findings highlight the successful development of nano-Saturn host-guest complexes with precise control over HOMO-LUMO levels and energy gaps. This work aims to address the challenges in fine-tuning the electronic properties and demonstrates potential applications in optoelectronics, photovoltaics, and NIR-based sensors. Moreover, the ability to tune the electronic properties can guide future material design strategies for advanced energy storage and photonic devices.

Highly Efficient Red/Near-Infrared Phosphorescence from Doped Crystals.

Organic red/near-infrared (NIR) room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials with low toxicity and facile synthesis are highly sought after, particularly for applications in biotechnology and encryption. However, achieving efficient red/NIR RTP emitters has been challenging due to the weak spin-orbit coupling of organics and the rapid nonradiative decay imposed by the energy gap law. Here we demonstrate highly efficient red/NIR RTP with boosted quantum yields (Φps) of up to 32.96 % through doping the thionated derivatives of phthalimide (PAI) (MTPAI and DTPAI) into PAI crystals. The red-shifted photoluminescence (PL) stems from a combination of the external heavy atom effect and the formation of emissive clusters centered around electron-rich sulfur atoms. Furthermore, the dopants enhance exciton generation efficiency and facilitate energy transfer from smaller PAI units to larger aggregates, leading to dramatically increased Φp. This strategy proves universal, opening possibilities for acquiring long-wavelength RTP with tunable photophysical properties. The doped crystals exhibit promising applications in optical waveguides and encryption paper/ink. This research provides a practical approach to obtaining long-wavelength RTP materials and offers valuable insights into the mechanisms governing host-guest systems.

Sergeant-and-Soldier Effect in an Organic Room-Temperature Phosphorescent Host-Guest System.

Host-guest systems have emerged as an efficient strategy for promoting organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP). Despite the advantages of doping guest molecules into a host matrix, the complexity of these systems and the lack of techniques to visualize host-guest interactions at the molecular scale pose significant challenges in understanding the underlying mechanisms. Here, a novel host-guest RTP system is developed by incorporating low concentrations (1-10 mol%) of TPP-4C-BI (guest) into crystalline TPP-4C-Cz (host). Utilizing structural isomerism, the guest molecules are regularly incorporated into the host crystal lattice, resulting in phosphorescence quantum yields almost ten times higher than the pure compounds. The system enabled resolution of the molecular packing of the single crystal through X-ray diffraction, providing unprecedented visualization of host-guest interactions. A "sergeant-and-soldier" effect, where the minority dopant molecules (sergeants) significantly influence the packing arrangement of the host molecules (soldiers), enhances RTP is identified. Further analyses revealed that due to the host molecule's inefficient phosphorescence pathway, its long-lived dark triplets are channeled to the guest via triplet-triplet energy transfer (TTET), allowing the excited energy to radiatively decay more efficiently. These insights advance the understanding of RTP mechanisms and offer practical implications for designing high-efficiency phosphorescent materials.

Irradiation for improving Violet-Blue Light Contribution of tri- and Polychromatic Polysulfone Host-guest systems

Herein, we explored the effect of light irradiation on polysulfone films dopped with highly emissive guests. We report irradiation promoted interactions in a polysulfone membrane functionalized with a fluorinated β-diketone species leading to an improved Violet-Blue Light Contribution in Polychromatic Polysulfone Host-Guest Systems.We suggest that irradiation at higher UV wavelengths, leads to an amorphous-to-monomer phase transformation of the fluorinated boron guest, BF2dbm (dbm as dibenzoylmethanoate), to which corresponds conversion of part of the green emission from aggregates to cyan-blue fluorescence, characteristic of the monomeric form. Also, irradiation at lower wavelength promotes host-guest BF2dbm@PSU strong interaction giving rise to increased emission in the violet-blue region by sacrificing the contribution from the intense blue-cyan emission from BF2dbm molecules.In the current work we also prepared combinations of Tb3+ and Eu3+ highly fluorinated complexes and evaluated its tuneable emission due to light driven ligand interaction with host matrix. The judicious choice of molecular ratio between Tb3+ and Eu3+ complexes allow rationally designed preparation of triple-emissive flexible films when irradiated at 300, 320 and 330 nm, to be used in highly advanced anti-counterfeiting technologies.In short, we propose a simple and new powerful approach for emission colour tuning of polysulfone dopped films.

Temperature-Dependent Left- and Right-Twisted Conformational Changes in 1:1 Host-Guest Systems: Theoretical Modeling and Chiroptical Simulations.

An efficient strategy for high-performance chiral materials is to design and synthesize host molecules with left- and right- (M- and P-) twisted conformations and to control their twisted conformations. For this, a quantitative analysis is required to describe the chiroptical inversion, chiral transfer, and chiral recognition in the host-guest systems, which is generally performed using circular dichroism (CD) and/or proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopies. However, the mass-balance model that considers the M- and P-twisted conformations has not yet been established. In this study, we derived the novel equations based on the mass-balance model for the 1:1 host-guest systems. Then, we further applied them to analyze the 1:1 host-guest systems for the achiral calixarene-based capsule molecule, achiral dimeric zinc porphyrin tweezer molecule, and chiral pillar[5]arene with the chiral and/or achiral guest molecules by using the data obtained from the CD titration, variable temperature CD (VT-CD), and 1H-NMR experiments. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH and ΔS), equilibrium constants (K), and molar CD (Δε) in the 1:1 host-guest systems could be successfully determined by the theoretical analyses using the derived equations.

The Differential Impact of Resorcinarenes on Ferrocene Redox Couple: Towards Electroactive Host-Guest Systems

Alternative to complex labelling of resorcinarene hosts with redox-active probes, non-covalent complex formation offers a unique avenue towards the design of dynamic electro-active host-guest systems towards application in sensors and functional materials. Here, resorcinarene hosts were evaluated with a well-known redox probe, ferrocene (Fc). Specifically, hosts were designed based on tuning the resorcinarene rim with functional groups to allow for hydrogen bonding, pi-pi stacking, hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. Cyclic voltammetry was used with glassy carbon electrode as a working electrode in organic solvent to evaluate interactions between hosts and Fc. Specifically, the electrochemical properties of Fc, hosts, and host-Fc mixtures were evaluated with respect to the ferrocene/ferrocenium redox couple (reversibility, current and potential). Depending on the host structure, all hosts induced a potential shift of ferrocene/ferrocenium redox couple. The reversibility of the redox couple was maintained with certain hosts, while others resulted in surface fouling. The electrochemical studies were further supplemented by non-electrochemical methods, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry as well as theoretical calculations using density functional theory. Data show that controlled and tunable redox host-guest systems with well-defined redox properties may be achieved through chemical modifications of hosts, which may be used to inform functional sensors and devices with a wide range of applications such as phosphate analogue detection.

Cooperative Binding and Chirogenesis in an Expanded Perylene Bisimide Cyclophane.

The encapsulation of more than one guest molecule into a synthetic cavity is a highly desirable yet a highly challenging task to achieve for neutral supramolecular hosts in organic media. Herein, we report a neutral perylene bisimide cyclophane, which has a tailored chiral cavity with an interchromophoric distance of 11.2 Å, capable of binding two aromatic guests in a π-stacked fashion. Detailed host-guest binding studies with a series of aromatic guests revealed that the encapsulation of the second guest in this cyclophane is notably more favored than the first one. Accordingly, for the encapsulation of the coronene dimer, a cooperativity factor (α) as high as 485 was observed, which is remarkably high for neutral host-guest systems. Furthermore, a successful chirality transfer, from the chiral host to encapsulated coronenes, resulted in a chiral charge-transfer (CT) complex and the rare observation of circularly polarized emission originating from the CT state for a noncovalent donor-acceptor assembly in solution. The involvement of the CT state also afforded an enhancement in the luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) value due to its relatively large magnetic transition dipole moment. The 1:2 binding pattern and chirality-transfer were unambiguously verified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the host-guest superstructures.

Hybridization of short-range and long-range charge transfer boosts room-temperature phosphorescence performance.

At present, mainstream room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emission relies on organic materials with long-range charge-transfer effects; therefore, exploring new forms of charge transfer to generate RTP is worth studying. In this work, indole-carbazole was used as the core to ensure the narrowband fluorescence emission of the material based on its characteristic short-range charge-transfer effect. In addition, halogenated carbazoles were introduced into the periphery to construct long-range charge transfer, resulting in VTCzNL-Cl and VTCzNL-Br. By encapsulating these phosphors into a robust host (TPP), two host-guest crystalline systems were further developed, achieving efficient RTP performance with phosphorescence quantum yields of 26% and phosphorescence lifetimes of 3.2 and 39.2 ms, respectively.

A Benchmark Test of High-Throughput Atomistic Modeling for Octa-Acid Host–Guest Complexes

Years of massive applications of high-throughput atomistic modeling tools such as molecular docking and end-point free energy calculations in the drug industry and academic exploration have made them indispensable parts of hierarchical screening. While the similarities between host–guest and protein–ligand complexes lead to the direct extension of techniques for protein–ligand screening to host–guest systems, the practical performance of these hit identification tools remains unclear in host-–-guest binding. Recent reports on specific host–guest complexes suggest that the experience on the accuracy ladder accumulated from protein–ligand cases could be invalid in host–guest complexes, which makes it an urgent need to perform a systematic benchmark to secure solid numerical supports and guidance of practical setups. Concerning molecular docking, there still lacks a comprehensive benchmark considering popular docking programs. As for end-point reranking, quantitative and rigorous free energy estimation via end-point formulism requires establishing statistically meaningful measurements of uncertainties due to finite sampling, which is neglected or underestimated by a significant portion in almost all main-stream applications. Further, a face-to-face comparison between different screening tools is required for the design of a hierarchical workflow. To fill the above-mentioned critical gaps, in this work, using a dataset containing tens of host–guest complexes involving basket-like macromolecular hosts from the octa acid family, we extensively benchmark seven academic docking protocols and perform post-docking end-point rescoring with twenty protocols. The resulting comprehensive benchmark provides conclusive pictures of the practical value of docking and end-point screening in OA host–guest binding.

Host–guest complexation‐induced chirality switching of pillararenes by perylene diimide‐based hexagonal metallacages

AbstractChirality in confined nanospaces has brought some new insights into chirality transfer, amplification, and chiroptical properties. However, chirality switching, which is a common phenomenon in biological systems, has never been realized in confined environments. Herein, we report a type of hexagonal metallacages that shows good host–guest interactions with ethoxy pillar[5]arene and pillar[6]arene, as confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. Importantly, when a chiral pillar[5]arene‐based molecular universal joint (MUJ) is used as the guest, the host–guest complexation would drive the alkyl ring of the MUJ flip from outside to inside the cavity of its pillar[5]arene unit, which enables the configuration change along with the chirality inversion of the MUJ. Moreover, the host–guest complexation facilitates the chirality transfer from guests to hosts, giving circularly polarized luminescence to the system. This study provides a unique metallacage‐pillararene recognition motif for the chirality switching of planar chiral pillararenes, which will promote the construction of host–guest systems with tunable chirality for advanced applications.

Achieving Circularly Polarized Phosphorescence through Noncovalent Clipping of Metallotweezers.

Circularly polarized phosphorescent materials, based on host-guest complexation, have received significant attention due to their outstanding emission performance in solutions. Recent studies have primarily focused on macrocyclic host-guest complexes. To broaden the scope of this research, there is a keen pursuit of developing novel chiral phosphorescent host-guest systems. Metallotweezers with square-planar d8 transition metal complexes emerge as promising candidates for achieving this objective. Specifically, metallotweezers, comprising platinum(II) terpyridine and gold(III) diphenylpyridine pincers on a diphenylpyridine scaffold, have been designed and synthesized. Due to the preorganization effect rendered by the diphenylpyridine scaffold, the resulting metallotweezers are capable of complexing with each other and forming quadruple stacking structures. The phosphorescent emission is enhanced owing to the synergistic rigidifying and shielding effects. Meanwhile, the steric effect of chiral (1R) pinene units on the platinum(II) terpyridine pincers results in a stereospecific twist for the quadruple stacking structures. Thus, the chirality transfers from the molecular to the supramolecular level. By a combination of phosphorescent enhancement and supramolecular chirality for the clipping complex, circularly polarized phosphorescent emission is achieved. Overall, noncovalent clipping of metallotweezers exemplified in the current study presents a novel and effective approach toward solution-processable circularly polarized phosphorescent materials.

Enabling Visible-Light-Charged Near-Infrared Persistent Luminescence in Organics by Intermolecular Charge Transfer.

Visible light is a universal and user-friendly excitation source; however, its use to generate persistent luminescence (PersL) in materials remains a huge challenge. Herein, the concept of intermolecular charge transfer (xCT) is applied in typical host-guest molecular systems, which allows for a much lower energy requirement for charge separation, thus enabling efficient charging of near-infrared (NIR) PersL in organics by visible light (425-700nm). Importantly, NIR PersL in organics occurs via the trapping of electrons from charge-transfer aggregates (CTAs) into constructed trap states with trap depths of 0.63-1.17eV, followed by the detrapping of these electrons by thermal stimulation, resulting in a unique light-storage effect and long-lasting emission up to 4.6 h at room temperature. The xCT absorption range is modulated by changing the electron-donating ability of a series of acenaphtho[1,2-b]pyrazine-8,9-dicarbonitrile-based CTAs, and the organic PersL is tuned from 681 to 722nm. This study on xCT interaction-induced NIR PersL in organic materials provides a major step forward in understanding the underlying luminescence mechanism of organic semiconductors and these findings are expected to promote their applications in optoelectronics, energy storage, and medical diagnosis.

Naphthyl substituted guest induce efficient room temperature phosphorescence by a triplet-triplet energy transfer mechanism

Room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials have attracted more and more attention due to their long luminescence life and large Stokes displacement. Host-guest doping systems are highly regarded for their simplicity of preparation and the absence of complex synthesis processes. Strong RTP emission can be activated by the doping of a guest molecules, in particular by substituting the phenyl group in the host structure with a naphthalene group. In this study, derivatives of benzophenone were constructed as the host molecule, and used 2-Benzoylnaphthalene, a commercially available naphthyl-substituted analogue of benzophenone, as the guest molecule. The phosphorescent lifetime of the doped system can reach 335 ms and the phosphorescent quantum yield can reach 58 %, which is expected to be used in anti-counterfeiting encryption, biological imaging and other fields. This work provides a general and effective host-guest doping strategy for constructing various organic room temperature phosphorescent materials.

Excellent Persistent Near-Infrared Room Temperature Phosphorescence from Highly Efficient Host-Guest Systems.

Organic near-infrared (NIR) room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials become a hot topic in bioimaging and biosensing for the large penetration depth and high signal-to-background ratio (SBR). However, it is challenging to achieve persistent NIR phosphorescence for severe nonradiative transitions by energy-gap law. Herein, a universal system with persistent NIR RTP is built by visible (host) and NIR phosphorescence (guest) materials, which can efficiently suppress the nonradiative transitions by rigid environment of crystalline host materials with good matching, and further promote phosphorescence emission by the additional phosphorescence resonance energy transfer (≈100%) between them. The persistent NIR phosphorescence with ten-folds enhancement of RTP lifetimes, compared to those of guest luminogens, can be achieved by modulation of aggregated structures of host-guest systems. This work provides a convenient way to largely prolong the phosphorescence lifetimes of various NIR luminogens, promoting their application in afterglow imaging with deeper penetration and higher SBRs.
