[23] The UV/Vis spectrum of H1+·BF4À is consistent with the yellow
color of the protonated receptor in organic solutions. Upon
protonation, receptor 1 exhibits a new absorption peak with
lmax = 400 nm. The unique absorption characteristics of receptor
H1+ were used to study the host–guest interactions of this
molecule in solution. Specifically, tetra-n-butylammonium hal-
ides were titrated into CH2Cl2 solutions of H1+·BF4 while
À
maintaining constant receptor concentrations. Evident changes
in the UV/Vis spectra were observed upon addition of halide
anions. In all cases, the absorption bands at 240, 290, and 330 nm
were shown to increase in intensity throughout the titration,
while the intensity of the absorption band at 400 nm decreased,
exemplifying isosbestic behavior. Unfortunately, at low concen-
trations equilibrium conditions were not observed, precluding
the determination of binding constants by UV/Vis spectropho-
tometric titrations. 1H NMR spectroscopic titrations in CDCl3
were employed to examine the anion-binding capability of
receptor H1+ for tetra-n-butylammonium halides. The binding

with chloride affecting the steepest binding isotherm and iodide

much smaller influence on the overall chemical shift of the
complex. The second portion of the binding isotherm has made it
difficult to determine association constants. Host–guest equili-
bria will be reported in due course.

[24] Subsequent iterations of this experiment resulted in the for-
mation of precipitate, suggesting that the first trial was super-
saturated. The relatively low solubility of this complex in organic
solvents has hindered further determination of association
constants.
