We are interested in designing and developing cavitand adducts with well-defined structures, containing a respectable number of functionalities that can be used in the synthesis a wide array of novel materials such as metal complexing agents, sensors, water soluble cavitands, phase transfer extraction of heavy metals, for complexation of fullerenes and related molecules, for new bioorganic and biomimetic chemistries, for self assembled systems, for cavitand based crown ethers, as stationary phases, and as novel cavitand polymers. Moreover, the introduction of new and diverse functional groups onto cavitand scaffolds leads to new substrates for hemicarceplexes, carceplexes, synthetic capsules, and related host guest molecules.
