ABSTRACT
The interaction of xenon with cryptophane derivatives is analyzed by NMR by using either thermal or hyperpolarized noble gas. Twelve hosts differing by their stereochemistry, cavity size, and the nature and the number of the substituents on the aromatic rings have been included in the study, in the aim of extracting some clues for the optimization of (129)Xe-NMR based biosensors derived from these cage molecules. Four important properties have been examined xenon-host binding constant, in-out exchange rate of the noble gas, chemical shift, and relaxation of caged xenon. This work aims at understanding the main characteristics of the host-guest interaction in order to choose the best candidate for the biosensing approach. Moreover, rationalizing xenon chemical shift as a function of structural parameters would also help for setting up multiplexing applications. Xenon exhibits the highest affinity for the smallest cryptophane, namely cryptophane-111, and a long relaxation time inside it, convenient for conservation of its hyperpolarization. However, very slow in-out xenon exchange could represent a limitation for its future applicability for the biosensing approach, because the replenishment of the cage in laser-polarized xenon, enabling a further gain in sensitivity, cannot be fully exploited.
