Oxacalixarenes and oxacyclophanes containing 1,8-naphthyridines: a new class of molecular tweezers with concave-surface functionality.
The first examples of oxacalix[4]arenes and [1(4)]oxacyclophanes bearing 1,8-naphthyridine units are reported, and these systems function as molecular tweezers containing inner-cavity hydrogen bond acceptors.
