Lock up your valuables: Receptor 1 acts as a “molecular lock” and anions act as “keys”; H2PO4− can “lock” 1 by switching it from its “unlocked” conformation, however, the structurally similar HSO4− cannot “lock” receptor 1 as evidenced by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis (see scheme). The “unlocked–locked” conformational switching of 1 was investigated by monitoring changes in fluorescence intensity in
锁上贵重物品:受体1充当“分子锁”,而阴离子充当“钥匙”;ħ 2 PO 4 -可以“锁定” 1通过从它的“解锁”构象切换它,但是,结构类似的HSO 4 -不能“锁”受体1如由单晶X射线分析(参见方案)。通过在存在不同阴离子的情况下监测荧光强度的变化,研究了1的“开锁”构象转换。
