Abstract
Through the combination of X-ray structure analysis and density functional theory (DFT) theoretical calculations at the B3LYP-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory, we designed and investigated two novel host units for the recognition of neutral (e.g. halobenzenes) and charged (e.g. chloride and nitrate) guests inspired by a glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) system and its inhibitors.
