title: Conformation-selective synthesis and binding properties of N-benzylhexahomotriaza-p-chlorocalix[3]trinaphthylamide.
abstract: N-benzylhexahomotriaza-p-chlorocalix[3]trinaphthylamide in partial cone conformation was selectively synthesized by appropriately controlling the steric effect during the amidation reactions of N-benzylhexahomotriaza-p-chlorocalix[3]tri(ethyl acetate) in cone or partial cone conformations with use of 1-aminomethylnaphthalene. The conformation was confirmed by (1)H, (13)C, and 2D NMR and X-ray single-crystal analysis. Analyses of the complexes revealed that recognition is strongly affected by Cd(2+), Pb(2+), and F(-) ions.
