Abstract

The artificial receptor bearing decamethylene groups bridging the porphyrin framework and the hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) auxiliary groups showed incremental binding free energy of 3.5 kJ mol−1 per CH2 for 4-alkylpyridines, demonstrating that an ideal hydrophobic environment for the recognition of an alkyl group is constructed in water.
