Benzoylguanidines as the Anion Responsive Systems

A series of benzoylguanidinium salts was prepared and the changes in UV/Vis spectra, triggered by the presence of anions, were investigated. All compounds undergo deprotonation with basic anions like dihydrogenphosphate and acetate in acetonitrile. The most pronounced spectral changes were obtained by deprotonation of N1-benzoyl-N3- (p- nitrophenyl) guanidinium chloride which shows the naked-eye visible color change from colorless to yellow. Measured pKa(BH+) in acetonitrile ranges from 12-16 being comparable to the pyridinium cations. The proton transfer equilibria were also tested in acetonitrile/water mixture where all but the most acidic derivatives showed pKa(BH+) of 4 – 6 units what corresponds to the apparent association constants of 104-106 dm3mol- 1. UV/Vis spectra of neutral and protonated forms were modelled by TD-DFT approach using CAM-B3LYP and PBE0 functionals and compared to CC2 results. In the case of CAM-B3LYP, a parameter omega defining amount of long-range exchange correction, was varied to achieve the best agreement with the experimental spectra. The optimized omega parameters are 0.10 a0-1 for neutral benzoylguanidines and 0.20 a0 1 for neutral nitrobenzoyl and protonated systems. The larger omega parameter in the latter is ascribed to more pronounced charge transfer character of HOMO-LUMO transition - the one responsible for the lowest energy absorption band.
