摘要:
A preorganized colorimetric tripodal thiourea receptor was synthesized in high yield utilizing a thiol-ene reaction as a primary step. The interaction of the receptor with dihydrogen phosphate, acetate, chloride, and fluoride anions was investigated using UV-vis. and H-1 NMR spectroscopic titration techniques. The binding stoichiometry of the receptor with dihydrogen phosphate and acetate was found to be 1:2, and 1:1 with chloride and fluoride. The binding constants for the receptor and dihydrogen phosphate, acetate, chloride, and fluoride were determined using HypNMR2008 and HypSpec. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
