Complexation equilibria between a positively charged azoniacyclophane (CP66) and naphthalene-2-carboxylate in water show a linear Debye-Huckel correlation with a sensitivity of m = -1.5 compared to the m = -4.1 for pure ionic complexes observed experimentally and predicted theoretically. The m values can be used as a scale for ionic vs lipophilic van der Waals binding contributions; the latter dominate in the present azoniacyclophane complexes. Complexation-induced NMR shifts (CIS) vary from -0.3 ppm to -1.6 ppm shielding and demonstrate in all cases intracavity inclusion with different geometries. The cyclophane CP66 enhances rates of nucleophilic substitution of 1-chloro-2,6-dinitrobenzoic acid (2) with OH- by a factor of up to approximately 2, with NO2- by up to approximately 8. The elimination from 2-(p-nitrophenyl)ethyl mesylate to p-nitrostyrene under basic conditions is enhanced by up to approximately 5; the saturation curve obtained in this case indicates a limiting k(cat)/k(un) is-approximately-equal-to 10 and a binary complex constant of K almost-equal-to 15 M-1. Salt effect studies show that a considerable part of the rate enhancements by macrocyclic polyammonium ions can be due to the increase of ionic strength as a consequence of the multiple charges in the catalyst. The ionic strength/salt effect contribution is large in the reaction of 2 with OH-, but smaller for the other two reactions.
