(Chemical Equation Presented) A molecular switch based on a resorcin-[4]arene cavitand undergoes reversibly very large, geometrically precisely defined molecular motion (see picture). Controlled switching between the contracted (linear extension ≈ 7 A) an

A series of borondipyrromethane (BODIPY)-dye-labeled resorcin[4]arene cavitands 1-4 with different lengths of oligo(phenylene-ethynylene) spacers between the dyes and the macrocyclic rim has been synthesized. Their switching behavior from the "vase" to "k
Functionalized calix[4]resorcinarene cavitands. Versatile platforms for the modular construction of extended molecular switches
Azov, Vladimir A.,Schlegel, Anna,Diederich, Francois
, p. 1926 - 1940 (2007/10/03)
We report the synthesis and investigation of the vase-kite conformational switching of bridged calix[4]resorcinarene-based cavitands bearing iodo or ethynyl substituents on the upper rim of the cavity. These reactive centers make the cavitands versatile p
