Introduction

Supramolecular macrocyclic compounds have been largely developed since the first generation of crown ethers till the fifth generation of pillar[n]arenes during the past decades1,2,3,4,5. Considering their superior properties, special structures and typical functions in supramolecular chemistry, remarkable attentions have been focused on the exploitation of their potentials and progress in molecular machines6,7, molecular recognition8,9,10,11, nanomaterials12,13,14,15,16, supramolecular polymers17,18,19,20,21, chemical sensors and detectors22,23,24,25, biological medicine26,27,28,29,30 and so on31,32. As a relatively new class of supramolecular macrocyclic hosts, pillar[n]arenes have attracted extensive attention owning to its unique properties, rigid structures, easy functionalization, etc.33,34,35. Monofunctionalized pillar[n]arenes, as one typical type of useful pillar[n]arene derivatives with unique substituent groups, possess variety of abilities such as molecular recognition and fluorescent detection, depending on their single modified functional groups and the different host-guest interactions36,37,38,39,40.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE), entirely opposite to the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect of traditional fluorescent dyes41,42,43,44, was first reported by Tang and coworkers in 200145, which paves a new way for the efficiency of fluorescent dyes in the solid state and the concentrated solution and breaks the limited applications of traditional fluorophores with ACQ properties. Restriction of intramolecular rotation (RIR) of AIE molecules was proven to be the well-known mechanism of their fluorescent enhancement in the aggregated state. Non-radiation energy dissipation channel from the excited state to ground state was blocked because of the hindrance of intramolecular steric interaction resulted from the impeded intramolecular rotations when the AIE molecules are assembled46,47,48. Tetraphenylethene (TPE) is a typical AIE molecule that has been widely investigated during the past two decades49,50. Several studies combining supramolecular approaches with typical fluorescent molecules with AIE properties to construct controllable fluorescent detectors or stimuli-responsive supramolecular materials have been reported51,52,53, especially using some pillar[n]arene derivatives as building blocks. This indicates that the combination of pillararenes and TPE is indeed an efficient way for the fabrication of novel smart optical devices to be applied in chemical sensors51, biological imaging54,55, and detection of pollutants and explosives56,57, among which the immediately selective detection of alcohol analogs is urgently required in the field of ecological environment and industrial development. The detection of alcohol analogs possesses special significance in traffic safety and medical emergency.

Herein, for the first time, we successfully synthesized sulfonic group-substituent monofunctionalized pillar[5]arene, i.e., monosulfonicpillar[5]arene (MSP5), (Fig. 1) in a good yield. A stable fluorescent complex between MSP5 and a guest TPE derivative, i.e., TPE-(Br)4, has also been designed and prepared via host-guest complexation, giving the credit to the hydrophilic group of MSP5 was not affected by pH of the solution. MSP5 also exhibited effective binding affinity towards alcohols via hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl of alcohols and sulfonic group of MSP5, making it possible to selectively detect alcohol analogs by destroying the complex of TPE-(Br)4MSP5. Furthermore, the complex of MSP5 and TPE-(Br)4 can also serve as a temperature sensor and fluorescence probe for ethylenediamine.

Results and Discussion

MSP5 was synthesized through the installation of a 1-butanesulfonic acid sodium onto pillar[5]arene via Williamson ether-type synthetic method. The structure of MSP5 was confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS, and FT-IR spectroscopy (Supplementary Fig. S5~S8). Considering that various monofunctionalized pillar[n]arenes possess the property of typical molecular recognition, six alcohol analogs were selected as guest molecules and the molecular recognition of MSP5 towards them was investigated via 1H NMR titration. As in Figs S34, S37, S40, S43, S46 and S49, when MSP5 was added into a chloroform solution of alcohols, the proton signal of Ha of alcohols showed an obvious upfield shift due to the shielding effect upon inclusion by pillararene cavity, indicating the host-guest interactions between MSP5 and alcohols. Nonlinear curve fitting method was employed to obtain the association constant (Ka) between those alcohols and MSP5, respectively. MSP5 has the strongest binding affinity toward butanediol among other alcohols (Fig. 2a). Molar ratio plot based on the chemical shift changes of the protons of alcohols showed that all the stoichiometries of MSP5 and different alcohols are 1:1 (Supplementary Fig. S33). Interestingly, MSP5 possessing sulfonic entity exhibited much stronger binding affinity towards butanediol (Fig. 2b) as compared with monophosphoryl copillar[5]arene (MPP5)36 and dimethoxypillar[5]arene (DMP5), indicating its ability of selective recognition toward alcohol analogs particularly with an enlarged selectivity.

Based on the fact that MSP5 exhibited selective binding ability toward alcohols, we design a fluorescent complex via host-guest interaction between MSP5 and TPE-(Br)4 for molecular sensing and detection. We synthesized the TPE derivative with four binding arms that can be included in the cavity of MSP5, which can serve as a fluorescent indicator. A novel binary supramolecular-assembled fluorescent ensemble was constructed from MSP5 and TPE-(Br)4 (Fig. 1b). In order to investigate the host-guest properties between MSP5 and TPE-(Br)4, 1-(4-bromobutoxy)-4-methoxybenzene (G1) possessing the same binding site as TPE-(Br)4 was synthesized as a model compound. As shown in the Supplementary Fig. S52, when MSP5 was added into a chloroform solution of G1, the signals corresponding to the protons H1 and H2 on the alkyl chain shifted upfield, because these protons were located in the cavity of MSP5 and suffered from shielding effect. This provided a strong evidence for the interactions between MSP5 and G1. MSP5 forms a 1:1 complex with G1 as assessed by 1H NMR titration, and the Ka of G1MSP5 was calculated to be (1.08 ± 0.22) × 102 M−1 in chloroform using nonlinear curve-fitting analysis (Supplementary Fig. S53). 2D NOESY NMR spectrum of MSP5 and G1 was also obtained for further investigation of the host-guest interaction between MSP5 and TPE-(Br)4. As shown in Fig. 3a, H4 was the proton on the guest while Hc, Hd, He were the protons on MSP5, the crosspeak A indicates that H4 is in close contact with Hd, He, and the crosspeak B indicates that H4 also interacts Hc, suggesting that alkyl of G1 penetrated into the cavity of MSP5 to form a good inclusion complex. The proton NMR spectrum of MSP5 with TPE-(Br)4 in d-chloroform solution was also obtained and similar complexation-induced chemical shift changes were detected (Supplementary Fig. S58).

Strong emission in dilute solution was observed from the complex of TPE-(Br)4MSP5, while non-fluorescent emission was surveyed from individual MSP5 and TPE-(Br)4 at the same concentration (Fig. 3b). Their host-guest fluorescence behaviors were investigated in detail and provided in the supplementary Fig. S59c. Upon increasing the concentration of MSP5, the fluorescence intensity of TPE-(Br)4 was gradually enhanced, which can be ascribed to the formation of host-guest inclusion complex that restricts the intramolecular rotation of phenyl rings of TPE-(Br)4. Besides, the fluorescence enhancement of TPE-(Br)4 induced by addition of MSP5 was clearly perceived by naked eyes (Fig. 3b-E), and strong cyan fluorescence can be visualized upon irradiation by a UV lamp with the wavelength of 365 nm, which was also supported by the above proposed mechanism.

On the other hand, the fluorescence enhancement of TPE-(Br)4 upon addition of MSP5 confirmed the synergetic importance of host-guest interaction of pillararene and TPE guests and sulfonic functional group on pillararenes by a series of controlled experiments. The addition of MSP5 with a monosulfonic arm to form host-guest inclusion complex was proven to be the necessary condition for the fluorescent enhancement, consistent to RIR mechanism. TPE-(Br)4 and other two different host molecules, i.e., DMP5 and monocarboxylatopillar[5]arene (MCP5), were selected to investigate whether host-guest interaction itself will produce fluorescent enhancement of TPE-(Br)4. 1H NMR titration experiments provided Ka between MCP5 and G1 (Supplementary Fig. S56), which is similar to that of G1MCP5 and G1MSP5. When DMP5 and MCP5 were added into TPE-(Br)4 chloroform solution gradually, the fluorescence of TPE-(Br)4 was almost unchanged (Fig. 4a), illustrating that host-guest interaction itself was unable to result in fluorescence enhancement. In addition, TPE and TPE-(CN)4 were also synthesized to investigate the effect of fluorescent molecules with different binding sites. When MSP5 mixed with TPE without binding affinity, the mixture was non-fluorescent (Fig. 4c), while strong fluorescence emission can be observed in the mixture of MSP5 and TPE-(CN)4 (Fig. 4d), for the reason of the host-guest complex between MSP5 and TPE-(CN)458. Meanwhile, the fluorescent emission of TPE-(CN)4MSP5 was similar to that of TPE-(Br)4MSP5 (Fig. 4d), indicating that different functional groups on TPE with similar binding ability with pillararene had negligible influence on the fluorescence enhancement. Monomer of MSP5, i.e., 4-(4-methoxyphenoxy)butane-1-sulfonic acid (M1), was also synthesized to study the effect of sulfonic group on fluorescent enhancement of TPE-(Br)4. No fluorescence was observed when M1 mixed with TPE-(Br)4 (Fig. 4b), indicating that sulfonic group had no effect on the fluorescence of TPE-(Br)4.

Sulfonic group, as a hydrophilic entity, plays a key role in the complex system of TPE-(Br)4MSP5 to maintain stable under different pH conditions, which was different from that of carboxylic acid group as the hydrophobic group in MCP5. We deduced that the hydrophobicity of the functional groups affected the fluorescence behaviors. Thus, three kinds of anionic monofunctional pillar[5]arenes and their sodium salts (sulfonic group, sulfonate group, carboxyl group, carboxylate group, phosphoric group, phosphate group) have been synthesized to investigate the role of sulfonic group in the fluorescent ensembles. The enhanced fluorescence of TPE-(Br)4MSP5 can be detected under low concentration, and upon addition of MSP5, fluorescence enhanced gradually. Furthermore, the fluorescence of other five kinds of supramolecular ensembles has also been studied at the same conditions, and the results are shown in Supplementary Fig. S59. No obvious fluorescence enhancement of TPE-(Br)4MCP5 was detected, while the fluorescence was largely enhanced in TPE-(Br)4MSP5 and TPE-(Br)4monosulfonatepillar[5]arene. Monophosphoricpillar[5]arene also induced weaker fluorescence enhancement. On the contrary, monophosphatepillar[5]arene induced remarkable fluorescent enhancement, same as MSP5 and monosulfonatepillar[5]arene. From the above results, we can further concluded that the water-soluble groups-substituents monofunctionalized pillar[5]arene can enhance the fluorescence of TPE-(Br)4 via host-guest inclusion. There was an obvious difference in pKa of the substituent groups in pillar[5]arene derivatives: R-SO3H (1.6 in DMSO) < R-PO3H2 (2.59 and 8.19 in water/ethanol) < R-COOH (12.3 in DMSO)59,60,61, which indicates that sulfonic group exists in the form of acidic anion in chloroform solution. However, phosphoric has two pKa, the strong acidic hydrogen will be ionized in chloroform, resulting in slight fluorescence enhancement of TPE-(Br)4MSP5. The carboxylic acid group maintains un-ionized form in chloroform owning to the weak acidity, causing no fluorescence enhancement.

Scanning electron microscope (SEM), dynamic laser scattering (DLS), and DOSY NMR spectrum have been used to further investigate the fluorescence and self-assembled behaviors. The DOSY NMR spectrum showed that all the peaks correlated to the signals in the chemical shift dimensions are in a horizontal line (Supplementary Fig. S60), all proton signals of MSP5 and TPE-(Br)4 have the same diffusion coefficient (2.6 × 10−9 m2s−1), suggesting the host-guest interaction of TPE-(Br)4MSP5. The solution of the host-guest complex exhibited obvious Tyndall effect (Supplementary Fig. S61e), indicating that the complex formed abundant colloid particles. SEM images and DLS data proved the aggregation of TPE-(Br)4MSP5. All the above results illustrated that the TPE-(Br)4MSP5 can self-assemble into nanoparticles with the average diameter of 16 nm (Supplementary Fig. S61c,d,f), while the individual host and guest are amorphous (Supplementary Fig. S61a,b).

We thus ascribed the fluorescence enhancement to the following reasons: (i) The host-guest interaction of TPE-(Br)4MSP5 formed into pseudorotaxane, restricted the intramolecular rotation of phenyl rings of TPE-(Br)4 and blocked the nonradiative emission, leading to a strong fluorescence emission; (ii) The solubility of the host-guest complex (fluorescent nanoparticles) in chloroform was reduced due to the hydrophilic group, leading to the aggregation state; (iii) MSP5 can self-assemble with TPE-(Br)4 to construct organic fluorescent nanoparticles, reaching aggregation state and exhibiting strong emission.

We successfully utilize the host-guest interaction property of pillar[5]arene and the AIE effect of TPE, prepared a binary complex system, where TPE was used as a fluorescence indicator for identifying butanediol effectively (Fig. 5a). Ethylenediamine is toxic, which would damage human bodies and environment seriously. On account of the much stronger binding affinity of MSP5 towards ethylenediamine than TPE-(Br)4 (Supplementary Fig. S62)40, the ensemble of TPE-(Br)4MSP5 can be used to detect ethylenediamine sensitively and rapidly (Fig. 5b). In addition, this supramolecular assembly can also be applied as a temperature sensor, as the fluorescence intensity decreased gradually upon raising the temperature. The fluorescence intensity can revert to the initial intensity without wastage when temperature returned to the initial room temperature (Fig. 5c), indicating this temperature sensor has remarkable circulation performance and can be reused for many times (Fig. 5d).

Conclusion

In summary, we synthesized MSP5 for the first time and employed it to construct a stable AIE-active binary complex system with TPE core via host-guest interaction and supramolecular self-assembly. Upon the formation of host-guest complex, the fluorescence emission of the complex was enhanced dramatically. The resulting pseudorotaxane-type structure restricted the intramolecular rotation of phenyl rings of the TPE-(Br)4 and blocked the nonradiative emission, finally resulting in strong fluorescence emission. We also investigated the molecular recognition ability of MSP5, and found that it can form stable complexes with alcohols. The MSP5 and TPE-(Br)4 can be used to fabricate supramolecular fluorescence composite through supramolecular self-assembly. This new fluorescence complex system possesses multi-stimuli responsive properties, and can selectively recognize butanediol among several similar alcohols. It also can act as a fluorescence probe to detect toxic substance ethanediamine and act as a temperature sensor. We envision that combining the AIE effect of TPE with the host-guest property of functional macrocycles may lead to many potential applications of pseudorotaxanes in sensors, cell imaging, controlled optical materials and smart materials.
