Inherently chiral phosphonate cavitands as enantioselective receptors for mono-methylated L-amino acids

Quantification of the PO⋯HN hydrogen bond in the binding of creatinine with phosphonate calix[4]pyrroles

“…Owing to the offered array of converging electrostatic interactions, resorcin[4]arene phosphonate cavitands have emerged as privileged receptors for supramolecular recognition and sensing of polar substrates. 7–12…”

“…Owing to the offered array of converging electrostatic interactions, resorcin [4]arene phosphonate cavitands have emerged as privileged receptors for supramolecular recognition and sensing of polar substrates. [7][8][9][10][11][12] The cone-conformation of tetra-alpha aryl-extended calix [4] pyrroles defines an open-ended deep aromatic cavity equipped with a polar binding site at its closed end. We and others used tetra-alpha aryl-extended calix [4]pyrroles for the binding of polar small molecules in organic solvents and in water.…”

Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of a Chiral Carbon Nanoring Containing Rubicene

“…The high synthesis yield and enantioselectivity were achieved by applying an effective chiral ligand−palladium complex. 11 The concept of inherent chirality paves the way for the synthesis of more novel chiral structures with potential applications in enantioselective recognition, 12 chiral optical materials, 13 and the construction of higher assemblies. 14 Rubicene (5), which consists of five fused six-membered rings and two five-membered rings, and is also viewed as a fragment of C 70 fullerene, is a fascinating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) building unit for the molecular design of novel aromatic compounds.…”
