Amine-triggered molecular capsules using dynamic boronate esterification

Abstract

Boron-contained molecular capsules triggered by amines are described for the first time; when Et3N was employed as a chemical stimulus the Lewis acidEt3NH+, produced by solvolysis reaction on the boron, was found to be encapsulated in the internal cavity, whereas use of nBu3N led to the related dynamic capsule capable of accommodating several guest species including Cs+.
