Abstract

A highly efficient recognition phenomenon was observed between alkoxylated arylene–ethynylene macrocycles bearing identical side chains but different core size, which is based on van der Waals interactions between alkoxy chains. The ratio of both molecules and the environment of each molecule have been statistically analyzed to quantify the recognition efficiency.
