Modulating guest binding in sulfonylcalixarene-based metal-organic supercontainers

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 May 25;50(40):5385-7. doi: 10.1039/c3cc47420h. Epub 2013 Nov 14.

Abstract

Metal-organic supercontainers (MOSCs) represent a new family of synthetic receptors derived from container precursors and featuring both endo and exo cavities. A neutral MOSC has been functionalized into an anionic container by incorporating sulfo groups. The anionic MOSC exhibits cavity-specific binding properties in both solid state and solution.
