an initial effort to discern some of the fine features of cholinergic anionic receptors, a study was made on inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase which used inhibitors that are relatively free from conformational variation. The inhibitors used were quaternized 1-azabicyclo (2.2.2)octanes. The bicyclic parent amine was prepared by several conventional procedures. The salts were evaluated as competitive

present article, we show how organic templates can efficiently transform a complex dynamic imine library into a dynamic iminemacrocycle. Not only is the constitution well controlled, but also the syn/anti host configuration is efficiently selected and even the orientation of the guest in the asymmetric cavity of the host can be well aligned. This is attributed to the delicate balance and the cooperation
Odd–Even Effect and Unusual Behavior of Dodecyl-Substituted Analogue Observed in the Crystal Structure of Alkyltrimethylammonium–[Ni(dmit)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>−</sup>Salts
A series of [Ni(dmit)2]− (dmit: 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato) salts of alkyltrimethylammonium (Cn: n represents the alkyl chain length; n = 3 and 5–18) have been prepared and analyzed by X-ray structural analysis. All complex salts have been found to be composed of alternate sheets of [Ni(dmit)2]− anions and sheets of cations with a pronounced interdigitation of the alkyl chains. However, molecular arrangement differed between (C3)[Ni(dmit)2] and other (Cn)[Ni(dmit)2] (n = 5–18). Adjacent cations were aligned along the long axis of [Ni(dmit)2]− anion in C3 complex salt, while in others (C5–C18 complex salts), they were aligned toward the short axis. Such a difference in arrangement arose from correlativity between the lengths of the long axis of cation and anion, namely CLCA. Furthermore, relative orientation between the alkyl chain of cation and [Ni(dmit)2]− anion differed between the odd- and even-numbered cations for C10–C18. Whereas the plane of alkyl chain for odd-numbered cation was normal to the plane of [Ni(dmit)2]− anion, that of even-numbered cation was parallel. It was also found that C12 analog behaved like odd-numbered cations. However, in C12 salt, the end methyl group of the dodecyl group adopted unusual end-gauche conformation.

A dual-responsive supra-amphiphile was constructed based on a water-soluble pillar[7]arene and a pyrene-containing guest. The self-assembly morphology of this supra-amphiphile could be adjusted by changing pH or irradiation by UV light.
