A metal-centered hydrophobic pocket recognizing pyridine over piperidine

J Am Chem Soc. 2003 Jun 18;125(24):7170-1. doi: 10.1021/ja035126l.

Abstract

Two external spaces of an inorganic tennis ball are a novel type of metal-centered hydrophobic pocket where two hydrophobic trans-(+/-)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane groups stand perpendicularly to and around the metal coordination plane. The space recognizes pyridine over piperidine, and a novel supramolecule was obtained using such pyridine recognition properties.
