Abstract

Abstract: We describe a large number of binding studies in aqueous media designed to provide new insights into noncovalent binding interactions, especially the cation-a interaction. The studies include 7 different hosts, over 70 guests, and over 150 new binding constants. In addition to the now standard NMR methods, circular dichroism has proven to be an especially useful tool for determining aqueous binding constants. We have found ...
