Importance of intramolecular hydrogen bonding for preorganization and binding of molecular guests by water-soluble calix[6]arene hosts

Abstract

The binding affinity of calix[6]arene hexasulfonate hosts for ferrocene or cobaltocenium guests is highly dependent on the extent of intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the lower rim of the calixarene.
