The study of aqueous-phase molecular recognition of artificial receptors is one of the frontiers in supramolecular chemistry since most biochemical processes and reactions take place in an aqueous medium and heavily rely on it. In this work, a water-soluble version of leggero pillar[5]arene bearing eight positively charged pyridinium moieties ( was designed and synthesized, which exhibited good binding affinities with certain aliphatic sulfonate species in aqueous solutions. Significantly, control experiments demonstrate that the guest binding performance of is superior to its counterpart water-soluble macrocyclic receptor in traditional pillararenes.
水溶性的具有 8 个正电荷吡啶基团的 leggero 柱[5]芳烃(被设计和合成,它在水溶液中对某些脂肪族磺酸盐表现出良好的结合亲和力。值得注意的是,对照实验表明,在传统的杯芳烃中,客体结合性能优于其对应的水溶性大环受体。
