INOR 115 |
| Because anions play important roles in our universe, anion coordination chemistry has been of great recent interest. Over the several decades many elegantly designed anion hosts have been reported starting with the first synthetic bicyclic katapinand hosts published in 1968. For several years, our group has been working with mixed amide/amine systems ranging from noncyclic to monocyclic to multicyclic receptors. Since multicyclic hosts have shown interesting binding and structural results as evidenced from some of our early studies with multicyclic systems, we have designed a new series of multicyclic hosts for anion binding. These new receptors are based on modifications of a simple prototype monocycle. Anion binding affinities obtained from solution NMR studies will be described as well as crystallographic structural findings. |
