Molecular recognition of dibenz[c,h]acridine derivatives as spacers carrying different functional groups are interesting due to their potential to mimic enzyme-like catalysts and suitability for binding guests by hydrogen bonds. 1 In recent years, many such receptors have been designed and their binding capabilities with dicarboxylic acid derivatives have been studied. 2., 3. and 4. The incorporation of substituents by functionalising the parent nucleus with three more ...
