Construction of synthetic macrocyclic host that can bind with neutral molecules and anions has potential applications in supramolecular chemistry. Herein, we have designed and synthesized blue light emitting an unsymmetrical neutral bis-urea macrocyclic host. This macrocycle can bind with neutral DMF molecule (1:1) as well as Cl À ion (1:1) through noncovalent interactions.X-Ray crystal structure, 1 H NMR titrations with Job's Plot, HRMS with isotropic distribution pattern, FT-IR, and density functional theory analysis revealed the binding of bis-urea macrocyclic host with the guest molecule.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
