title: Studies on synthesis and anion recognition properties of (3'-nitrobenzo)[2,3-d]-(3''-nitrobenzo)[9,10-d]-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-5,7,12,14-tetraone.
abstract: A novel artificial receptor, (3'-nitrobenzo)[2,3-d]-(3''-nitrobenzo)[9,10-d]-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-5,7,12,14-tetraone, was designed and synthesized. The interactions of this receptor with different anions were determined by UV-vis and (1)H NMR titration experiments, and their affinity constants to different anions were compared with those of other similar/different systems. The results indicated that this receptor showed a high selective and recognitive ability for F(-) among F(-), Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), AcO(-), OH(-), and H(2)PO(4)(-). Moreover, the low energy configuration of this receptor was further determined by means of theoretical investigations.
