A nonplanar polycyclic aromatic compound 6 bearing a tribenzotriquinacene (TBTQ) core merged with an o,p,o,p,o,p-hexaphenylene belt was prepared and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The key synthesis step involves three Scholl-type cycloheptatriene ring formation steps of the 1,4,8-tris(3′,4′-dimethoxyphenyl)-TBTQ derivative 5. The bridging of each of the three TBTQ bays by 1,2-phenylene units in compound 6 gives rise to an unusual wizard hat shaped structure, which represents a promising key intermediate for the construction of nonplanar nanographene molecules bearing a TBTQ core.

A systematic range of o-hydroxyphenyl ketones were reduced under asymmetric transfer hydrogenation conditions using the C3-tethered catalyst 2. Two directing effects, i.e., an o-hydroxyphenyl coupled to a bulky aromatic on the opposite side of the ketone substrate, combine in a matched manner to deliver reduction products with very high enantiomeric excess.

A hydrogen-bonded macrocycle, cyclo[6]aramide, was found to form a supramolecular complex with cytochrome c, which enables the solubilization of the heme protein in methanol. The supramolecular complexation was evidenced by UV-vis, CD, and Raman spectroscopic techniques via structural characterization. Computational simulation based on the DFT method reveals the presence of strong hydrogen bonds formed between the lysine residues exposed on the protein surface and the oxygen atoms residing in the cavity of cyclo[6]aramide apart from cation-π interactions. The resulting cytochrome c-cyclo[6]aramide 1 exhibited higher activities than unmodified cytochrome c in the oxidation of benzhydrol to benzophenone with hydrogen peroxide at low temperatures. The enhanced activity with lowering temperature up to -40 °C indicates that the complex can act as a "cold-active" synzyme. The results achieved here demonstrate the potential of hydrogen-bonded macrocycles in supramolecular chemistry for catalytic reactions via ligand-protein interactions.
