Functionalized hydrazide macrocycle ion channels showing pH-sensitive ion selectivities

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Jan 3;53(3):625-628. doi: 10.1039/c6cc08943g.

Abstract

Transmembrane channels formed by functionalized hydrazide macrocycles are reported. The different pH values of buffer solutions have a significant effect on the K+/Cl- selectivity of the macrocycles. This unique transport behavior is mainly induced by the different distributions of charges in the tubular channels under various pH values.
