Abstract

Abstract: Experimental details are given for the synthesis and characterization of a new class of model receptors for adenine derivatives. The molecules feature an imide function and a suitably placed aromatic surface that permit simultaneous base pairing and aryl stacking interactions. The structures are built from the Kemp tricarboxylic acid 3 and suitable spacers with aromatic surfaces attached via ester or amide linkages. The general features of ...
