ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
First and foremost, I would like to thank my family for their unwavering support.
No matter how stubborn I can be, I thank my parents and brother for their continued
support. Professor Jason Telford has m eant just as much to me in addition to allowing
me to do research in his group, he made sure that we did not lose sight of the important
things in life and always treated us like a part of his own family. I canno t imagine a mo re
understanding advisorno matter what happened, he was there to support us in our
pursuits. Both Professors Telford and Franklin provided a nurturing environment in
which I was taught to continue to strive and set higher goals. W ithout both of them I
would n ot be where I am today or the scientist that I am.
I have made numerous friends throughout graduate school, all of which have had
a profound impact in my life. Mary Daly who m ade sure I did not lose sight that there
was a world outside of the lab. Ram on Cuellar, a friend wh o was always there no matter
what time or how much he had on his plate. Nathan Lien whom mad e the days in lab
(and sometimes the yard ) more light-hearted. Samantha Soebbing-Nolting ('my
partner in crime'don't fret the t-shirt is coming) was always there when I had a
questionno matter what pain I went through, we went through it together Koushik
Banerjee for being there w hen I needed help w ith organic synthesis, making sure I got out
of the lab and could cook Asif Rahaman always there to talk to and relax withhe w as
not here during the early years of my graduate career, but he made sure I remembered
those days only to be younger again (old age hits hard and fast you know ). Sai
Kumar Ramadugu and Harsha Vardhan Reddy Annapureddy for making sure that I
remembered one of the most vital things, making sure we do not lose sight of ourselves
no matter how much there is to accomplishthe right balance of everything always
survives all odds.

I would also like to thank the remaining members of the Franklin and Telford
groups who made lab life much more enjoyable: Dr. Yurndong (David) Jahng, Anthony
Prudden, Heaweon Park, Kinesha Harris, Sui Wah Wong-Deyrup, Oksana Chernyshev,
Chris Lim, and Sarah Brookhart Sh ields. I would also like to thank Dr. Lynn Teesch for
allowing me to be a research assistant in the HRMSF and, along with Vic Parcell, taught
me m ore than I would have otherwise learned about m ass spectrometry.
In addition to fellow classmates, there have been many professors and support
staff that have taught me and helped through those rough moments of graduate school.
One of the most inspiring is my undergraduate advisor, Dr. Kenneth W . Olsen. No
matter what mistakes I made, he guided my early scientific mind and allowed me to
realize the potential enjoyment that comes from good science. Professor Ned Bow den
who taught me numerous techniques, the process of setting up a lab and always made me
feel like I had imm easurable poten tial. Professor Louis Messerle , who was always there
when I needed chatno matter how frustrated I was, he provided a soothing voice of
reason. Professors Pienta, Hansen, Pigge, Kohen, Meade, and, of course, Telford w ho
have helped mold my ability to teach students and ensure that I constantly improved at
teachin g. Lastly, I wo uld like to thank all support staffM ichele Gerot for dealing with
all my teaching related concerns; Janet Kugley and Sharon Robertson who always
provided reminders/updates and for dealing with important administrative tasks;
Santhana Vellupillai and Rob Brown for their help with NMR experiments and analysis;
Frank Turner for all the favors fixing equipment or crafting things; Gene Hauge and Tim
Koon for their help whenever I needed to order something or could not find something;
and Nelson R eyes-Burgos for those late night chats.
Lastly, I would like to thank my past and present comm ittee m embers (Professors
Eyman, Jensen,Goff, Kay, Messerle, Quinn, and Telford) for their constructive criticism
and not beating me over my head for all my idiosyncrasies when it came to noun and
verb agreement.

Without all of these people I would not be the person that I have become today.
Their influences will last with me a nd always guide me on m y path to strive to be a better
scientist and, m ore impo rtantly, a better pe rson.

ABSTRACT
The overarching theme reflected herein is the molecular recognition of organic
substrates or environm entally relevant anions and cations. The synthesis of modified
cyclodextrins as molecular scaffolds for the inner- or outer-sphere coordination of Ln
m
cations or tetrahedral anions, respectively, is outlined. Further studies on the
complexation of organic substrates with (3-cyclodextrin and a per-6-modified (3-
cyclodextrin are also reported.
The outer-sphere coordination of tetrahedral anions (specifically perchlorate,
phosphate, and sulfate) has been targeted. Over the past two decades num erous studies
utilizing ESI-M S for the determination of binding affinities ha ve been reported. The
relatively soft-ionization by ESI-MS provides numerous advantages. Most importantly
are its abilities to model the solution phase closely and provide the unambiguous
stoichiometry of the complex(s) formed. Binding studies of a-cyclodextrin (1) and per-6-
(2-aminoethylamino)-per-6-deoxy-a-cyclodextrin (6) with perchlorate, phosphate or
sulfate were examined using ESI-MS. The lack of specific binding of a-cyclodextrin is
evidenced with the inclusion of multiple perchlorate ions and competition for binding
with the cations (Li
+
, M g
2+
, K
+
) of the particular tetrahedral an ion. Contrary to this, per-
6-(2-aminoethylamino)-per-6-deoxy-a-cyclodextrin (6) shows a preference for binding
anions from solution with modest log K
a
values (~ 3.6 - 4.0), and predominantly a 1 : 1
(6 : Tetrahedral Anion) binding stoichiometry.
Further studies report the synthesis of carboxylic acid-functionalized per-6- and
mono-6-modified (3-cyclodextrins for the inner-sphere coordination of the lanthanides
and actinides. Synthe sis of per-6-5'-(thiosalicylic acid)-per-6-d eoxy-P -cyclodex trin
exhibited solubility issues below a pH ~ 5. Conse quently, potentiom etric studies with
this cyclodextrin could not be performed. Additional studies of carboxylic acid mono-6-
modified P-cyclodextrins were pursued . The synthesis of mono -6-(2-(diethy lenetriam ine

pentaacetic acid-amino)ethylamino)-mono-6-deoxy-P-cyclodextrin is reported, along
with analysis of binding w ith europium, terbium, and gadolinium using fluorescence and
ESI-MS.
The last body of this work details host and guest complexes formed betw een three
small organic molecules with native P-cyclodextrin (2) or per-6-(2-aminoethylamino)-
per-6-deoxy-(3-cyclodextrin (12 ). Determ ination of binding affinities o f these three guest
molecules with these cyclodextrins are reported using UV-V is spectroscopy.

CHAPTER 1
OUTER-SPHERE COORDINATION OF METAL COMPLEXES IN
BIOLOGICAL AND CYCLODEXTRIN-BASED SYSTEMS
1.1 Background
This background text has been adapted from the following publication: "Outer-
sphere Coordination of Metal Complexes in Biological and Cyclodextrin Systems",
Harwani, S.; Telford, J. R. Chemtracts, 2 0 0 5 ,18(8 ) , 437-448.
The use of both inner- and outer-sphere coordination play fundamental roles in
metal-ion reactivity.
1
"
3
Inner-sph ere coordination (the first coord ination sphe re) refers to
the ligands directly bound to a metal; in Nature, this is most often realized by amino acids
and a few other cofactors
(i.e.
ligands ). The inner coordination sphere around meta ls
have been studied extensively over time ; although m ost instances of metal-bound systems
characterized to date fall within the realm of supra-molecular and molecular recognition
using outer-sphere coordination. Outer-sphere coordination (second coordination sphere)
specifically refers to those interactions outside the inner or primary coordination sphere.
Examples include ordered or disordered solvent and amino acid residues which utilize
hydrogen bonding or dipolar interactions with ligand atoms. In protein systems, a
receptor provides a binding site with a spatial arrangement of hydrogen bonds or
hydro phob ic patches to target a specific substrate. The interactions employ ed to bind a
ligand in natural protein systems consist mainly of (1) hydrogen bonds, (2) TC-U and other
donor-acceptor interactions, (3) electrostatic interactions, and (4) bonding from the direct
overlap of metal orbitals with outer-sphere ligands.
1
"

In addition to naturally occurring systems there are a number of synthetic
achievements in the form of supra-molecular scaffolds designed to bind metal com plexes.
These scaffolds have been applied to a variety of tasksmainly in the areas of enzyme
mim ics, medicinal chemistry, and environmental waste remediation. Utilizing many of
7/26/2019 Cyclodextrin Scaffolds
23/194
2
the same interactions as natural systems, much effort has been directed towards
mimicking biological systems using supramolecular scaffolds such as cyclodextrins.
This review focuses on some recent developments in outer-sphere coordination chem istry
with an em phasis on: (1) natural systems and (2) cyclodextrin-based systems.
1.2 Na tural System s
1.2.1 Bacterial Iron Transport
Recognition, transport, and assimilation of nutrients are essential for bacteria to
satisfy their growth requirements.
5
'
6
This is often accom plished by outer-sph ere
recog nition of the nutrient substra te. Of specific interest are sideropho res, small, iron-
binding compounds produced by bacteria, which serve as a paradigm for micro-nutrient
acquisition. Siderophore transport and internalization also provides an exam ple of outer-
sphere recognition of metal com plexes (Figure 1.1).
Siderophores play an important role in bacterial and fungal life cycles.
7
"
11
An
important step in the iron uptake pathway is the internalization of the Fe-siderophore
com plex. This is accomplished by a variety of outer mem brane transport proteins. These
transport proteins are expressed under iron limiting condition, and therefore, are
generally classified as iron responsive outer-membrane proteins (IROM P). IRO MP s are
either exceed ingly specific or generic in their recognition of substrate. Specific IRO M Ps
may recognize one or a few substrates, while generic IROMPs recognize a wide variety
of a class of siderop hores, such as any iron-tris-hydrox am ate com plex. This variation in
substrate recognition is one of several ways that bacteria compete for the multitude of
siderophore architectures.
The ferric hydroxamate uptake (Fhu) protein is an IROMP that generically
transports iron-bound hydroxamate siderophores. Recognition is effected by hydrogen
bonding contacts with the octahedral metal center (Figure 1.2) rather than contacts with
the organ ic sideroph ore back bon e. The Fhu protein is therefore used as an exam ple for
7/26/2019 Cyclodextrin Scaffolds
24/194
3
the general phenomenon of iron uptake, and an interesting example of metal-centric
recog nition. It is only after the binding of Fe-sidero phore by Fh u that uptake into the cell
can occur.

complex by an outer
membrane cell surface receptor. (OM = outer membrane, IM = inner membrane).
1.2.2 M am ma lian An tibacterial Protein s
Another example of iron-dependent recognition proteins is the lipocalin binding
proteins; however, lipocalins perform a very different function by withholding the Fe-
sideropho re com plex from the bacteria. In essenc e, lipocalins are beating bacteria at their
own game of iron acquisition. One mem ber of the lipocalin family, neutrophil
gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), has been implicated in numerous cellular
processes
13
"
15
, such as providing an Fe recognition system. Recent studies have
elucidated the x-ray crystal structure of the protein.
16
"
18
NG AL contains an unusually
shallow and broad binding pocket (calyx) lined with polar and positively charged
7/26/2019 Cyclodextrin Scaffolds
25/194
4
residu es. The NG A L calyx has an affinity for small hydro phob ic mo lecules . In
particular, it has recently been sho wn that the NGA L calyx has a very high affinity for
Fe-enterobactin (a cyclotriserine-based siderophore), binding and stabilizing the
siderophore from hydrolytic degradation into its monomeric building blocks.
19
'
20
Experimental studies of various substrates binding to the NGAL calyx indicate that the
positive charge and polarity of the residues in the binding pocket are critical for
binding . ' This has also been revealed throug h additional studies wh ich demonstra te
that NGAL does not bind positively charged iron alone ([Fe(H20)6]
3+
), suggesting an
electrostatic contribution to the interaction between the negatively charged Fe-
enterobactin complex and the positively charged NGA L calyx. Overall, it has been
proposed that NGAL and other lipocalins are bacteriostatic agents used by the immune
system in order to fight off bacterial infections more efficiently by removing a vital
bacterial iron sourc e. Other similar mechan ism s for iron hom eostasis in the body , such as
transferrin and hepicidin-dependent uptake mechanisms (along with NGAL) are
described in a review by Kaplan.
21
1.2.3 Blue Copper Proteins
Outer-sphere influences are seen not only through the interaction of two unique
molecules (host and guest), but also intramolecularly through the influences that protein
backbones have on the coordination of metal complexes, as observed in blue copper
prote ins. C rystallograp hic studies of azurin and plastocyan in show that the back bone
of the protein is preorganized to bind the copper ion, with halo forms essentially identical
to their respective apo forms. This preorganized structural mo tif is seen with many blue
c o p p e r p r o t e i n s .
In pseudoazurin, the redox potential of the copper ion is sensitive to an extended
array of amino acid residu es. One of the first mutational studies altered the proline (P80)
adjacent to the metal center to alanine or isoleucine. These mu tations resulted in an
7/26/2019 Cyclodextrin Scaffolds
26/194
5
increase in reduction potential, as the adjacent histidine is not as rigidly enforced in
position nor is it as solvent exposed.
24
Recently published data with mutations on
amicyanin give similar results. Mutations were constructed in the binding loop because
these are thought to relax the ligation around Cu
1
allowing it to assume its preferred
geometry and thus, increase the reduction potential,.
25
The two mutants studied, P94A
and P94F, have a shift in reduction potential by +100 m V, from = 265 mV to 380 mV
and 415 m V, respectively
25

6
This interpretation is further corroborated by quantum mechanical calculations by
Li et.al. Their calculations indicate that the dominant influences on the copper reduction
potential in type I blue copper proteins are residues within 6A of the copper center(s) that
contribute H-bonding.
26
Their studies also show influences by three key factors: (1) axial
ligand interactions, (2) hydrogen bonding to S
cys
, and (3) constraint of the inner-sphere
ligand orientation viathe protein backbone. These results, along with previous studies,
indicate that the hydrogen bonding network indirectly influences the geometry around the
copper in the active-site(s) and thereby controls the physical properties of the metal. The
experimental data from mutations in the binding loop of the blue copper proteins coupled
with the quantum mechanical data provide additional support that the electronic
properties of the copper center(s) are modulated by the inner-most H-bonding array to the
copper ligands.
1.2.4 Recognition of M g(H

6
2+
Many natural biological systems require the use of [Mg(H20)6]
2+
for stability and
or catalytic activity of enzym es. A survey of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)
done in 1994 by Bock et. al. revealed the stability of hexaaquamagnesium(II) in many
crystal structures.
27
Systems such as topoisom erases, ribonucleases, and bacterial
transport systems, are known to include Mg
2+
(
fli?
) as a cofactor. Magnesium has poorly
defined requirements for coordination, and it is not clear how the ion is recognized or
coordinated in biological systems. In order to probe how Mg
+
(
a?
) is coordinated, the
inert hexammine cobalt(III) complex, [Co(NH3)g]
3+
, has been utilized as a surrogate.
[Co(NH3)6]
3+
is thought to bind in proteins via outer-sphere coordination, because the
amine ligands are kinetically inert, and not readily displaced. Thus, binding to the
complex must occur through the amine ligands, rather than directly to the metal.
Analysis of proteins with [Co(NHs)6]
3+
bound to Mg
2+
(
a?
) sites suggests that
7/26/2019 Cyclodextrin Scaffolds
28/194
7
hexaaquamagnesium(II) also binds via an outer-sphere interaction with the aqua
ligands.
28
"
32
Even though much work has been done in this area, novel methods of studying
the outer-sphere nature of aqueous cations are still being developed. Com putational
studies, along with infrared and Raman spectroscopies, have been used to probe the
binding modes of Mg
2 +
and Ca
2+
with dimethyl phosphate anion (DMP")an anion used
to mimic the phosphate moiety. These studies indicate that the calcium cationic center
prefers at least one inner-sphere contact with a hard oxygen donor from DMP", while the
magnesium cation prefers outer-sphere binding through the aqua ligands.
33
1.3 Cyclodextrin-based Systems
Cyclodextrins (Figure 1.3) can be used in the recognition of different molecules
(or complexes) and have been proposed for a variety of possible applications.
Cyclodextrins are polymeric glucose molecules consisting of 6, 7, or 8 a-(l->4) linked
glucose moieties, known as a-, P-, and y-cyclodextrin, respectively.
34
'
35
The diameter of
the cyclod extrin cavity increases as the numbe r of glucose residues increases from a-, p \
and y-cyclodextrin, with cavity diameters of -5 .2 , ~6.6, ~8.4 A, respectively. Many areas
exploiting the utility of cyclodextrins have been targeted, including both their host-guest
chemistry and synthetic methods for functionalizing the upper and lower rims of
cyclodextrins.
Host-guest chemistry of cyclodextrins has been studied extensively for the
complexation of hydrophobic molecules for applications, such as drug delivery, chiral
recognition, enzyme mimics, and molecule detection, including secondary detection
m et h o d s s u ch a s f l u o res cen ce en h an cem en t o r q u en c h i n g . " In o rd e r t o s e l ec ti v e l y
comp lex molecules and increase the solubility of com pounds, native cyclodextrins are not
used often due to their mod est solubility. The synthesis of mod ified cyc lodex trins,
therefore, has received much deserved attention. The ability to functionalize one or all of
7/26/2019 Cyclodextrin Scaffolds
29/194
8
the primary hydroxyl groups on the upper rim and the secondary hydroxyl groups on the
lower rim of cyclodextrin molecules allows for the development of a wide range of
possible outer-sphere hosts or enzyme m imics, The multitude of possible hosts presents
the ability to target the com plexation of certain metal ions or substra tes. Hos t-guest
chemistry and the synthetic methods for the modification of the upper and lower rims of
cyclodextrin will not be discussed as there are many review articles in these areas.
42
"
45
Cyclodextrin-based chemistry has developed quite extensively since its discovery
in the late nineteen th and early twen tieth centurie s. Initial wo rk focusing on oute r-sphere
coordination of metal complexes with cyclodextrins was done during the middle-to-late
1980's.
46
"
52
Part of the focus in the remainin g sections will be recent progress u sing
cyclodextrins as outer-sphere host architectures.
In addition to the complexation studies, work with cyclodextrins has focused on
their use as catalys ts. Mu ch of the research in this area has centered on design of the
cyclod extrin as the catalytic center. A sum mary of this area is presen ted in review
articles by Stoddart et. al, Szejtli, et. al, and Russell, et . a/.
3
53
54
Less work has been
done exploring cyclodextrin as an architectural structure to position a catalytically active
metal site. W e will prese nt three exam ples of research that focuses on using cy clodex trin
as a scaffold on which to append a metal-binding center.
1.3.1 Host-Guest Chem istry of Metal C omplexes
The ability of cyclodextrins to incorporate molecules within its cavity
(Figure
1.4) has been studied extensively; however, analysis of these host-guest complexes
reveals only a few structures with the inclusion of a metal co mp lex. This is surprising as
the inclus ion of me tal com plex es can provide the versat i l i ty to mi mi c b io log ical
enzymes and create supramolecular assemblies .
A minimalist example of host-guest relationship is provided by Ando et. al.,
wherein they were able to study the inclusion complexes of
7/26/2019 Cyclodextrin Scaffolds
30/194
9
[pentaammineruthenium(II)]
2+
and [pentacyanoferrate(II)]
4
" with a-, P-, and y-
cyclodextrin.
56
It is significant to report that it is rare for a charged (specifically,
positively charged) molecule to be included within the cyclodextrin. This was
accomplished by using the inner sphere ligands, which are hydrophobic and provide the
anchor in the core of the cyclodextrin. The steric bulk of the outer-sphere cyclodextrin
serves to stabilize the monomeric metal center.

1.3.2 Wa ste reme diation
Our group has focused on the remediation of environmental metal complexes,
including the uranyl carbonate anion, [U02(C03)3]
4
"
(Figure 1.5).
Urany l carbon ate is
the predom inant form of uranium in the environment. The carbonate anion is a powerful
ligand for the Lewis acidic U
VI
center, and carbonates' ubiquitous presence drives the
formation of the tris-carbona te species in mo st aquatic system s. It has been shown that
the ligands in uranyl carbonate are not easily displacedthe uranyl tris-carbonato species
has a stability constant, Poo = 10 . " We have been able to com plex uranyl carbona te
by providing a series of complementary hydrogen bond donors via synthetic
mo difications to the upper rim of cyclode xtrin molec ules. In design ing a host structure
for uranyl carbonate, both the D symm etry and charge of the guest must be considered
as part of the design . One of the first synthetic comp ound s used as a host was per-6 -(2-
aminoethylamino)-per-6-deoxy-a-cyclodextrin.
60
This com pound ma tches the 3-fold
symmetry of [U02(C03)3]
4
" while providing a pH-dependent ring of positive charges
from protonation of the amines. NM R titrations of per-6-(2-aminoethylamino)-per-6-
deoxy-a-cyclodextrin with uranyl carbonate allowed for determination of the stability
constant (log p = 253 22 M"
1
) of the cyclodextrin-uranyl carbonate complex in an
7/26/2019 Cyclodextrin Scaffolds
33/194
12
aqueo us environm ent. It has been shown through complex ation induced shifts of the
ethylenediamine protons that the uranyl carbonate moiety is binding through the upper-
rim.
61,62
It wa s also shown that the complex formed wa s 1:1 betwe en the synthetic
cyclodextrin and uranyl carbonate anion.
Additional work exploring the effects of outer-sphere ligation of the uranyl
species has been published by Navaza et . al.
63
Although the uranyl hydroxide systems
generally form bimetallic complexes, N ava za's wo rk illustrates the ability of a- and p-
cyclodextrin to stabilize the formation of monomeric benzoatoOHUO2 species within
dimeric cyclodextrins. The mode of binding of the benzoato-OH UO 2 species, like the
work by Ando, is again driven by the interaction of ligand and cyclodextrin with
inclusion of the hydrophobic benzoate ligand in the cavity of the p-cyclodextrin dimer.
63
1.4 Catalysis
In catalytic processes, it is important to make the distinction between
heterogeneous and homo geneous catalysis. Typically, the main advantage of
heterogeneous catalysis is that the catalyst can be recycled more easily, and is therefore
more cost efficient; however, both cyclodextrin-mediated homogeneous and
heterog eneou s catalysis historically have not been an area of great focus. In addition to
homogeneous and heterogeneous systems, some work has been done in biphasic systems
where the cyclodextrin acts as an integral part of the catalytic system.
64
"
66
In many cases
of cyclodextrin-mediated catalysis in biphasic systems, the cyclodextrin aids by acting as
a phase transfer agent. M any experim ental results have been publishe d with the use of
cyclodextrins in biphasic systems
66
"
69
; however, the work represented here will focus on
the use of outer-sphere coordination in homo geneous systems.

binding site.
1.4.1 Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP ) Mimic
Occasionally, a significant advance can be developed from seemingly unrelated
research area s. It wa s established in the late 1970 's by Tabushi et. al. that P-cyclodextrin
molecules can be linked to create dimers (or polymeric) cyclodextrin molecules, thereby
creating a molecule with two (or more) hydrophob ic pockets. Tang et. al. first showed
the catalytic ability of a Schiff-base metal complex, such as Fe
111
2 -hydroxy- l -
naphthaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (HNT), to be used for the determination ofH2O2and
glucose concentrations. Building on these studies, Tanget. al. have recently shown that
tethering two cyclodextrins forms dual hydrophobic pockets. The Schiff-base metal
complex
(Figure 1.6)
includes as a guest within these pockets, and forms a
supramolecular mimic of HRP.
7 2
Also synthesized were a series of metal com plexes
using salicylidene-2-amino-4-phenylthiazole (SAPTS) as a ligand. These complexes
7/26/2019 Cyclodextrin Scaffolds
35/194
14
were then investigated as potential superoxide dismutase (SOD) mim ics. Of the metals
studied (Cu
2+
, Zn
2+
, N i
2+
, and Co
2 +
), copper was the mo st active. The ability of
polymeric-P-CD (P-CDP) to recognize the benzene rings of the M
n
-(SAPTS)2 clearly
reveals the binding mode of the complex. Their work has also provided additional
methodology for the detection of superoxide dismutase (SOD ) activity.

cyclodextrin was characterized using NM R. The NM R experimental evidence indicates
that the phosphorous is distant enough from the cyclodextrin molecule that the nuclei
from the two moieties do not couple. A palladium-catalyzed cleavage of allyl undecyl
carbonate was tested using [Pd(l)3] in the absence and presence of methylated-P-
cyclode xtrin. The results indicate that as the ratio of meth ylated p-cy clodextrin/4 is
increased the rate of cleavage decreased when the ratio was between - 0- 2 , constant from
- 2 - 8 , and increased for ratios from - 8- 16 . Since the catalytic activity of the palladium
complex is similar in the absence and presence of cyclodextrin this signifies that the
cyclodextrin does not electronically or sterically hinder the metal (catalytic) center.
73
These studies have illustrated that an organometallic complex in the presence of
cyclodextrin can be used to mimic functional bioenzy mes. Furthermore, with these
synthetic systems, there is no obligate restriction on biologically relevant metals, and thus
a wider variety of metal-chemistry can be explored.
1.5 Future Outlook
Outer-sphere coordination, either in natural or synthetic systems, provides a
versatile framework for recognition and control of coordination complexes.
Cyclodextrins particularly have proven to be versatile compounds since their initial use in
host-guest chemistry and have shown great potential for their employment in outer-

sphere comple xation . The use of cyclod extrins in host-gue st chemistry is well stud ied,
though their full potential has yet to be completely harnessed with outer-sphere metal
complexe s. Wo rk aimed toward the developmen t of enzyme mim ics, catalysts, and the
remediation of chemical wastes is ongoing.

amino-4-phenylthiazole complex (M -(SAPTS)2).
The use of cyclodextrin derivatives as catalysts has great potential due to the
arrangement of cyclodextrin's hydrophobic inner cavity rimmed with outer hydrophilic
functional groups . The recent wo rk by Tang el. al. producing a horseradish peroxidase
mim ic has show n the advanc eme nt of cyclod extrins in the area of catalysis . The ability
to mimic a specific enzyme has been accomplished and now it remains to be seen if
functional mode ls for other enzym es can be develo ped. The ability to modify
cyclodextrin on the upper and lower rims, and possibly attach additional scaffolds to
create an ordered system similar to the tertiary structure of proteins provides many levels
of control over a guest metal complex. The robust nature of the cyclodextrin systems
suggests that they may be suitable for use in environments where proteins are not stable.

Nevertheless, the ability to more precisely design supramolecular analogues of natural
systems that utilize outer-sphere coordination hinges on a deeper understanding of the
numerous biological systems still currently being studied.

CHAPTER 2
ANION RECOGNITION USING A CYCLODEXTRIN-BASED
SCAFFOLD
2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 Oxoanion Recognition Chemistry
Num erous examples of oxoanion recognition exist. A relevant example in
relation to these studies is provided by Nature with phosphate binding protein (PBP).
Medveczky et. al. have shown that PBP binds phosphate with a Kd of -0.8 uM.
1
'
2
Binding of phosphate is accomplished with 12 strong hydrogen bonds from the phosphate
binding protein backbone. Encompassed w ithin the hydrogen bonding manifold are 10
hydrogen bonds to three of the phosphate oxygens (01, 02, and 03).
2
Complementing
this are two hydrogen bonds to 04 of the phosphate, one of which is "from an NH of a
backbone peptide unit whose carbonyl oxygen is in turn the recipient of two hydrogen
bonds".
2
This set of 12 hydrogen bonds aids in understanding why phosphate binding
protein has such a high affinity for phosp hate. Other examples in Nature of oxoanion
binding proteins which exhibit a substrate specificity have also been well characterized
{e.g. sulfate).
3
"
9
2.1.2 Outer-sphere Coordination Using Cyclodextrins
The presence of literature reports for the outer-sphere coordination of metals
using cyclodextrins are lacking. Some notable examples of have been summarized in a
recent review.
10
The aim of these studies is on utilizing the oxygen atoms of tetrahedral
anions as 'ancho rs' for binding to modified cy clodextrins. The focus here remains on the
complexation of perchlorate, phosphate, and sulfate with a-cyclodextrin (1) and per-6-(2-
aminoethylamino)-per-6-deoxy-a-cyclodextrin
(6, Figure 2.1).

2.1.3 Tetrahedral Anions
Perchlorate, phosphate, and sulfate are prevalent in nature in high concentrations.
2
Since 1997 it has been shown that perchlorate levels in drinking water have been steadily
increasing ' , more-so in areas related to the testing of solid rocket propellant, companies
synthesizing perchlorates, and compan ies utilizing perchlorates. Furthermore,
experimental data has shown that both perchlorate and pertechnetate can compete with
iodide uptake by the thyroid gland in mam mals.
9
'
11
Therefore it is necess ary, that prior to
discarding waste, toxic compounds, such as perchlorate, be remediated by the companies
or agencies that produce these wastes. In addition to this, other anions (even though no t
targeted here) are of immediate con cern. For instance, the heavy use of fertilizers ha s
created a need for the rem ediation of nitrates from the environm ent. '
In order to specifically target one tetrahedral anion over another it is important to
pay attention to their size and charge/size ratio
(Table 2.1).
Here the binding these
anions is first being targeted by the size inherent to the a-cyclod extrin framew ork,
followed by the modification to the uppe r (primary hyd roxyl) rim of the cyclodextrin . It
is with these upper-rim modifications that targeting a specific charge/size ratio is being
analyzed.
2.1.4 Determ ination of Bindin g Affinities
In these studies, the binding of perchlorate has primarily been targeted; however,
it is vital to also investigate the binding of other common tetrahedral anions (e.g.
phosphate and sulfate). Even though numerous methods (NMR, UV -Vis, calorimetric,
etc.)
have previously been used for the determination of binding constants, these m ethods
were not particularly suited to the binding of tetrahedral anions with cyclodextrins.
13
'
14
A
relatively new method for determination of binding affinities using electrospray-
ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was employed.
15
Num erous studies have shown
that the determination of binding affinities can be accomplished via the intensity ratio of
7/26/2019 Cyclodextrin Scaffolds
45/194
24
peaks for the uncomplexed and complexed species from ESI-MS spectra.
15
"
17
Of
additional importance, studies indicate that ESI-MS, being a soft-ionization technique,
allows the speciation in the gas phase to mimic that of the solution (aqueous) phase.
1 7
Consequently the mlz ratio will unambiguously indicate the most stable complex, thereby
providing the exact stoichiometry of the host and guest complex formed.
15
'
18
"
21
Other
groups have shown that making assumptions as to the stoichiometry of the host and guest
complex can provide an erroneous binding constant.
2.2 Experimental
a-Cyclodextrin was obtained from Avocado Research Chemical Ltd (UK) and
was dried under vacuum. Ethylenediamine was obtained from Aldrich Chemical
Com pany. LiC104 and M gS0 4 were obtained from Aldrich Chemical Com pany.
Potassium phosphate (monobasic, dibasic, and tribasic) was obtained from Fisher
Scientific. These chemicals were dried under vacuum prior to use. All chemicals were
of reagent grade. NM R experiments were performed at 25 C on a Briiker DP X-30 0,
AV AN CE-300, DR X-400 or AVA NCE-600 spectrometer using deuterated solvents .
2.2.1 ESI-MS
A Thermo Finnigan LCQ Deca Spectrometer (University of Iowa, High
Resolution Mass Spectrometry Facility, spectrometer purchased with fund from NIH
grant 510 -RR 137 99- 01) was used in direct injection mode . All experiments were
conducted at a capillary temperature of 150 C, spray voltage of 4.5 V, and sample
collection flow rate of 3 uL/min. Prior to each sample, M S solvent (9 : 1 FbO /Me OH ,
0 .1%
NH4OH) was flowed through the system until the detection of relevant mlz species
wa s not seen. Initial optim ization (tuning) on the samples was done, followed by sa ving
the parameters and using this parameter set for subsequent trials. Each sample w as
allowed to equilibrate into the mach ine at 10 - 15 uL/m in for 1 - 2 min utes prior to
reducing the flow rate to 3 ul/min and collecting data. After adjusting the flow rate , data
7/26/2019 Cyclodextrin Scaffolds

25
was collected in positive mode for 2 - 3 minutes from a range of mlz 100 - 1500.
Generally, the initial minute of data collected was discarded, followed by averaging of
100 spectra/sam ple to obtain intensity value s for analy sis. Com plete spectra for ESI-M S
analysis of each tetrahedral anion with cyclodextrins 1 and 6 are located in Appendix B.
Intensity values (I

and concentrations of the host (6) and guests (tetrahedral
anions) are provided in Tables B.l - B.3 inAppend ix B.
2.2.2 Synthesis
Per-6-(2-aminoethylamino)-per-6-deoxy-a-cyclodextrin (6). The methodology
for this procedure was taken from Ashtonet. al.and Prudden et. al. ' Per-6-iodo-per-6-
deoxy-a-cyclodextrin (5) used for the synthesis of 6 was synthesized by Anthony
Prudden of the Telford group from a-cyclodextrin based upon Ashton's previous work.
22
Per-6-iodo-per-6-deoxy-a-cyclodextrin (5, 1.97 g, 1.21 mmol) was added to
ethylen ediam ine (25 mL , 0.37 mol) under positive argon press ure. After dissolving, the
reaction mixture was heated to 70 C. The reaction mixture was cooled to room
tem perature after 72 h, reduced in volum e at reduced pressu re to 1 - 2 mL and
precipitated out of -250 mL of cold ethanol. The material was dissolved and re-
precipitated two tim es. The precipitate was then isolated via Buchner funnel and vacuum
dried. Ov erall yield 1.09 g, 45 .1%. ' H NM R ( D

[Cyclodextrin] = 90 uM. The desired amounts of each tetrahedral anion were ad ded
ranging from [Cyclode xtrin] : [Tetrahedral An ion] from 100 : 1 to 1 : 10 and with the
remaining volume filled to 1 mL with MS solvent. Titrations with higher guest
concentrations were tested, but at such high salt concentrations the noise in the
instrumen t provides data that could not be interpreted with any reliability. It is important
to note that samples with ratios of [Cyclodextrin] : [Tetrahedral Anion] ranging from
100:1 to 1:1 generally did not provide any appreciable binding in the case of any
tetrahedral anion.
A set of example calculations for the titration of cyclodextrin 6 with LiC104 is
provided in the following sentences and
Table 2.2.
Stock solutions were made of
6
(7.96
mM) and LiC104 (7.24 raM). For the example reported here, titrations of the following
mola r ratios of [6] : [LiC104] ranging from 100 : 1, 10 : 1, 1 : 1, 1 : 5, and 1 : 1 0 we re
performed (seeTables B. l - B.3 inAppendix B for a ratios all titrations). An Eppendorf
tube for each titration point was made, followed by addition of the varying amounts of
each stock solution and MS solvent based on Table 2.2 below. The Eppendorf tubes
wer e agitated and allow ed to stand for 6 - 12 hours to allow for each mixture to reac h
equilibrium, followed by ES I-MS analysis of each sam ple.
2.2.4 Calculation of Bindin g A ffinities
The analysis of ESI-MS data was done using equations A.1 - A .7. Relevant
information for these equations is provided in
Appendix A.
Experimental values for the
intensity ratios for + 1, +2, and +3 charge states of uncomplexed and complexed
cyclode xtrins were analyzed and fit into equation A.6. Initial value s of R were
determined, followed by sampling ofR' and n values that provided the best linear fit and
conforming to the initial calculated R values. Values used for n were used to correct the

y-intercept determined based on the initial concentration of host. The determination of
these values was done by trying to obey trends established by the Hoffmeister with
partition coefficients. The Hoffmeister series indicates the increasing water solubility in

2.2.5 pK
a
Determination
Attempts to determine the pK
a
values for hexa-protonated cyclodextrin 6 using
potentiometric titrations resulted in large buffer region from which pK
a
(acid
dissociation) values could not be deconvoluted. Consequently, an estimation of the pH
speciation distribution was created using the program HySS.

The initial P values were
estimated beginning at 12 and working our way up to accommodate all species. The list
of
p
values were 12, 24, 33, 41 , 48, and 54 for

clearly indicates the propensity of primary amine system
to retain 2, or possibly more protons in the presence of additional species (tetrahedral
anions in this case). These data are also supported by observance of mainly + 1, +2 , and
+3 charged states in mass spectra upon binding of tetrahedral anions. This most likely
indicates a protonation state greater than two and less than six, but is highly dependent on
the tetrahedral anion due to their distinct charge states at pH ~ 10.
2.2.6 T\ Inversion Recovery Experiments
T\ inversion recovery experiments were chosen in order to clarify the binding of
the perchlora te, phosphate and sulfate with cyclodextrin 6. Only one tetrahedral anion
was chosen (perchlorate) for these studies due to the time required for each inversion
recovery experiment. Four
T\
inversion recovery experiments were performed with
molar ratios of 6 : perchlorate of
1
: 0, 1 : 1.2, 1 : 4, and 1 : 8.
Table 2.3
provides the
delay times prior to capturing spectra. Once collected, peak height data for 'H-N MR
peaks of relevance for each titration were noted and are seen in
Tables B.4

located
inAppendix B. Data analysis was performed by fitting peak height data to equation 2.8.

Final proton T\ relaxation data can be seen inTable 2.4 and Figure 2.3,which provides a
graphical version of the data.
2.3 Results and Discussion
Studies of tetrahedral anion binding with cyclodextrin 1 indicate a lack of
specificity. In the case of 1 with LiC104, spectra indicate the association of Li
+
(m/z
979),
2 L i
+
and C10
4
"(m/z 1085), 3 Li
+
and 2 C10
4
"(m/z 1191), or 4 Li
+
and 3 C10
4
"(m/z
1298). Similar studies with KH2PO4 indicate that it incorporates m ainly K
+
(m/z 1011) or
2 H
+
, 2 K
+
and PO4
3
"(m/z 1147 ). The last studies with sulfate show predom inantly the
inclusion of H
+
, M g
2+
and SO4
2
"(m/z 1093). In the former two cases, the ability of 1 to
bind the cation of the tetrahedral anion indicates a partial preference toward positively-
charged spec ies. Furtherm ore, the inclusion of mu ltiple CIO4" mo ieties indicates the
possibility of multiple association sites. In the cases of PO4
3
" and SO4 the inclusion of
more than one tetrahedral anion does occur, but to a lesser extent (less than 10% of
relative intensity for these peaks) in the ESI -M S spectrum . In the case of pho spha te,
using mono basic, dibasic, or tribasic phos phate could provid e differing resu lts. Studies
with monobasic, dibasic and tribasic phosphate were all performed providing similar
results. With the pH of each titration point betw een 10.1 - 10.5, control of the species
distribution of phosphateno matter what starting phosphate was usedwas controlled
predominantly by the 0 .1%NH4OH in the MS solvent.
In the case of cyclodextrin 6, the high propensity of the six pendant
ethylenediamine arms to be protonated provides the most likely area of electrostatic
interaction between the tetrahedral oxyanions and the host (Figure 2.4). This is an
impo r tan t d i s t inc t ion wi th 1 , wh ere the p r im ary upper - r im hyd roxy l mo ie t i es show a
partial preference for the cations of each tetrahedral anion. The estimate of protonation
states for cyclodextrin 6 was illustrated in Figure 2.2. Furthe r support for the estimated
proton ation state is provide d by the pH of the solutions being studied. As m entioned

previously, solution pH measurem ents indicated valued between 10.1 - 10.5. At this pH
a mixture of mono-, di-, and tri-protonated species should be present (based on pK
a
estimates earlier presented). This was further supported by the presence o f+ 1 , +2, and
+3 m/zspecies in the ESI mass spectra.
Given the clear identification of unbound and bound species via ESI-MS,
determination of binding constants for each tetrahedral anion with cyclodextrin 6 was
performed. The log K
a
values for each tetrahedral anion can be seen in Table 2.1.
Qualitative analysis of the calculated association constants indicates a small amount of
discrimination, which is almost negligible for the purpose of separating these ions in a
mixture. It also goes without saying that binding for these tetrahedral oxyanions does not
depend on their charge/size ratio in the case of cyclodextrin
6 (Table 2.1).
The analysis of binding constants for perchlorate yielded linear plots with R
2
values of 0.76, 0.91, and 0.95. The case of phosphate (either monobasic or dibasic)
yields reproducible results that produce linear plots (R
2
values of 0.98, 0.93, and 0.98).
Sulfate also produces two linear plots with good regressions (R
2
values of 0.84 and 0.92).
Overall, all three anions provide linear regressions that are within reasonable limits. This
data can be seen inAppendix B, Figures B.18 - B.25.
