Multifarenes, a new class of macrocycles, which are constructed of alternating building blocks, are conveniently accessible by three complementary syntheses that provide modularity and scalability. In addition to metal-ion coordination, these cavitands show increased flexibility with increasing ring size, offering opportunities for induced fit to guest molecules.
Multifarenes是一类新的大环化合物,由交替的构建单元构成,通过三种互补的合成方法便捷地获得,具备了模块化和可扩展性。除了
金属离子配位外,这些腔体化合物随着环尺寸的增大显示出更高的灵活性,为引导客体分子的适应嵌合提供了机会。
