We have previously demonstrated positive heterotropic cooperativity between metallic and hydrophobic guests in systems based on functionalized polyamines. Early systems were effective only for group 2B metals. In order to further demonstrate the principle of conformational control we have designed systems intended to be complementary to metal ions with octahedral coordination spheres. Our examination of such systems represented by the compound shown and its efficacy with Ni(II) will be reported.
