摘要：The guanosine hydrazide 1 yields a stable supramolecular hydrogel based on the formation of a guanine quartet (G-quartet) in presence of metal cations. The effect of various parameters (concentration, nature of metal ion, and temperature) on the properties of this gel has been studied. Proton NMR spectroscopy is shown to allow a molecular characterization of the gelation process. Hydrazide 1 and its assemblies can be reversibly decorated by acylhydrazone formation with various aldehydes, resulting in formation of highly viscous dynamic hydrogels. When a mixture of aldehydes is used, the dynamic system selects the aldehyde that leads to the most stable gel. Mixing hydrazides 1, 9 and aldehydes 6, 8 in 1:1:1:1 ratio generated a constitutional dynamic library containing the four acylhydrazone derivatives A, B, C, and D. The library constitution displayed preferential formation of the acylhydrazone B that yields the strongest gel. Thus, gelation redirects the acylhydrazone distribution in the dynamic library as guanosine hydrazide 1 scavenges preferentially aldehyde 8, under the pressure of gelation because of the collective interactions in the assemblies of G-quartets B, despite the strong preference of the competing hydrazide 9 for 8. Gel formation and component selection are thermoreversible. The process amounts to gelation-driven self-organization with component selection and amplification in constitutional dynamic hydrogels based on G-quartet formation and reversible covalent connections. The observed self-organization and component selection occur by means of a multilevel self-assembly involving three dynamic processes, two of supramolecular and one of reversible covalent nature. They extend constitutional dynamic chemistry to phase-organization and phase-transition events.
