Hemicryptophane 3 was found to be an efficient and selective primary alkylammonium receptor. Binding constants are 1000-fold higher than those previously reported for hemicryptophane hosts. Efficient complexation of dopamine emphasizes the use of this host for neurotransmitter complexation. Density functional theory calculations were performed and highlight host–guest complementarities.
                                    研究发现,血色素 3 是一种高效且具有选择性的初级烷基
铵受体。其结合常数比以前报道的半色素烷宿主的结合常数高 1000 倍。
多巴胺的高效络合强调了这种宿主在神经递质络合中的应用。研究人员进行了密度泛函理论计算,结果表明宿主与宿主之间具有互补性。
