Abstract
We determined the configurations of [2.2.2]-cryptand/KF/protonated threonine ([222]/KF/ThrH+) and permethylated β-cyclodextrin/KF/AAH+ (perm-CD/KF/AAH+, AA = Thr, Trp, Ser) host–guest complexes in solution by examining the characteristic peak positions in the 19F-NMR spectra. We focused on which functional groups (ammonium, hydroxyl and carboxyl) in AAH+ form hydrogen bonds (H-bond) with F− and/or with the solvent. We observed strong dependence of the H-bonding features on the solvents. With no complex formed in D2O, the ammonium only binding to F− in ethylene glycol-d6, and the carboxyl forming H-bond with F− in CH3OH-d4. The structures of permethylated β-cyclodextrin/KF/AAH+ (perm-CD/AAH+; AA = Thr, Trp, Ser) in solution were also elucidated by 19F-NMR spectroscopy. The characteristic peaks observed at −178 ∼ −171 ppm signified that only the carboxyl group binds at the K+F− bridge. The IRMPD spectra were scrutinized for the perm-CD/KF/AAH+ adducts in the gas phase generated by the electrospray/mass spectroscopic (ESI/MS) procedure. By comparing the configurations of the host–guest complexes in the two distinct phases, we found that the identified gas-phase complexes were structurally similar to those in solution.
