| One aspect of biological chemistry is the development of simple and artificial models of biological functions. Artificial models developed in molecular recognition chemistry have demonstrated the importance of complementarily in size, shape, and functional groups at the molecular level for selective host-guest binding. We have previously described a cavitand-based receptor bearing four carboxylate groups on the upper rim which forms kinetically stable complexes in water. We now introduce a complementary cavitand presenting four cationic functionalities. The influence of the charged groups in binding will be discussed in detail. |
