Abstract:The determination of binding constants is a key matter in evaluating the strength of host‐guest interactions. However, the profound impact of self‐ion pairing on this parameter is often underrated in aqueous solution, leading in some cases to a misinterpretation of the true potential of supramolecular assemblies. In the present study, we aim to shed further light on this critical factor by exploring the concentration‐dependent behavior of a multicharged pillararene in aqueous solution. Our findings reveal an e… Show more
