We report synthesis, X-ray crystal structure, conformational behaviour, and complexation properties of cavitand (1).Cavitands are synthetic organic compounds with enforced concave sur€aces of molecular dimensions .1 Such compounds are of interest as receptor sites in enzyme-mimicking Among the cavitands synthesized so far (1) is particularly Macrocyclic octol (2)t is obtained as single pure isomer+ in 1-All new compounds and cavitates gave satisfactory analytical and spectral data.attractive Owing to the presence Of a solvation-temperature-$ Tetramer (2), depicted in its crown conformation in Scheme 1, is the
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.
