Synthesis and binding behavior of an artificial receptor based on 'upper rim' functionalized calix[5]arene

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(98)00750-9

A new calix[5]arene possessing two benzoic acid moieties was synthesized as an artificial receptor and its ability of binding to a variety of amine guests was investigated. The structures of the complexes with the mines were proposed by the molecular mechanics calculation using MacroModel V. 4.0.
