title: The binding of difunctional neutral guest molecules by novel bis(tripyrrolyl) cryptands.
abstract: Bis(tripyrrolyl) cryptands are prepared via a [2 + 3] Schiff base condensation of formyltripyrrolyls with diamines; an ethyl-spaced hexapyrrole cryptand is shown to bind strongly ethane-1,2-diamine and ethane-1,2-diol in chloroform solution.
