A tetrasulfate-resorcin[6]arene cavitand as the host for organic ammonium guests†
Abstract
The first example of a resorcin[6]arene cavitand in which sulfate bridges are introduced between the OH groups is here reported. In addition to their structural role, sulfate bridges behave as functional supramolecular interacting groups thus favoring the complexation of suitable organic ammonium guests.
