During the initial stage of solvent removal a white precipitate
formed (0.092 g) that was removed by filtration. Removal of
the remaining solvent gave an oil (0.250 g). The ESI–MS of
the solid and oil fractions of the product showed the same
peaks, 333.2 (M ? H), 355.2 (M ? Na), 167.2 (M ? 2H),

Intensity data for this compound were collected using a

The synthesis of I was performed under high-dilution con-
ditions according to the general procedure described by Lehn
et al. [4], as shown in Scheme 2. 4.951 g (25.6 mmol) of II
and 4.251 g (25.7 mmol) of diglycolyl chloride, each dis-
solved in 300 mL of toluene, were added synchronously
