Log(Ka) for Various Hydrophobic Guests with Cyclodextrins in Water (298 K)  [Pg.234]

The second cyclophane study we examine sheds light on the special nature of water. Is water absolutely unique as a solvent for molecular recognition Or, is the hydrophobic ef- [Pg.236]

The calixarenes (from the Greek calix, meaning chalice) are a family of structures that have seen extensive use in many contexts. Shown below is the remarkable, one-step synthesis of the prototype calixarene. This condensation reaction is a variant of the phenol-aldehyde condensation that produces bakelite, the first synthetic polymer. Early workers spent considerable effort to optimize this synthesis, biasing the product toward the calixarene [Pg.238]

Extensive studies of the conformational preferences of calixarenes have established certain shape preferences, and a view of the cone-shaped form that has found the most use in molecular recognition studies is shown below. It should be remembered, though, that without additional structural constraints that favor this form, a simple calixarene is conformationally mobile and exists in several different forms. [Pg.238]
