The stable molecular clefts 1 consisting of inert Pt-acetylide moieties and a 1,1':3',1 ''-terphenyl spacer were synthesized. Guest binding behavior of la was examined by H-1 NMR spectroscopy to determine the association constants; naphthalene (K-a similar to 0 M-1) < anthracene (10 M-1) < pyrene (50 M-1) < coronene (640 M-1) in chloroform-d/acetonitrile-d(3) (3:1, v/v). 1a is stable enough to resist disassembly in the presence of anionic species. Thus, 1a shows a higher affinity to large electron-rich aromatic compounds. In addition, anionic aromatic guests were bound more strongly by 1a (K-a = 540 M-1 for 1-pyrenecarboxylate) due to the electrostatic interactions, pi-pi interactions, and the stable cleft scaffold.
