Abstract

The synthesis and complexation behaviour of structurally related neutral and ionic cyclophanes is reported. A neutral pyridino-cyclophane selectively mediates transport of acetylcholine while ionic receptors incorporating both a pyridine moiety and a carboxyphenyl group form stronger complexes in aqueous THF as revealed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. These ionic receptors form 1:1 complexes with the substrate.
