To explore the anion recognition ability of silanol hydroxy groups, a silanediol-based receptor 1 was prepared. Spectroscopic studies and X-ray crystallography revealed that the receptor exhibits the
The synthesis of the new cofacial binuclear zinc complex [Zn2(L)] of a Schiff-base pyrrole macrocycle is reported. It was discovered that the binuclear microenvironment between the two metals of [Zn2(
The design, synthesis, structure, and anion-binding properties of the first indolocarbazole-containing interlocked structure are described. The novel [2]rotaxane molecular structure incorporates a neu
Using a combination of isothermal titration calorimetry and quantum and molecular dynamics calculations, we demonstrate that relatively soft anions have an affinity for hydrophobic concavity. The resu
It was previously established that the flexible tetraimidazolium macrocycle cyclo[2](2,6-bis(1H-imidazol-1-yl)pyridine)[2](1,4-dimethylenebenzene) (14+) is capable of stabilizing higher-order sup
