Synthesis of a water-soluble naphthalene-based macrocycle and its host–guest properties

The synthesis of a naphthalene-based macrocycle bearing anionic carboxylato groups on the rims and its complexation with cationic guests in aqueous media have been reported.已有研究报道了一类边缘带有阴离子羧基配位基团（carboxylato groups）的萘基大环化合物（naphthalene-based macrocycle）的合成，及其在水介质中与阳离子客体的络合作用。
