Abstract

The superb complexing ability and preorganited cavity of the spherand (MeC,H,0Me)6 is destroyed by the substitution of two methoxycyclohexane units for two pseudo-para methoxytoluene units of the spherand. ... The powerful binding of Li+ and Na+ by the spherand (1)1-4 has been attributed to the organization of the electron-lined cavity in (1) during synthesis rather than during complexa- tioa2 Although not quite isosteric with methoxytoluene, one or more ...
