Abstract

Abstract: Synthesis and complexation behavior of the title molecules are described. Study of the aromatic solvent-induced shifts of these molecules supports the contention that their large cavity can accommodate aromatic rings. The behavior of acid la in water suggests that this effect is enhanced in aqueous medium, as is expected for formation of hydrophobic inclusion complexes. In contrast to the rigid naphthalenophanes (l), their saturated ...
