A self-assembled chiral capsule with polar interior.
Phenylalanine substituted resorcinarenes form self-complementary dimeric homo- or heterochiral capsules based on deeply buried electrostatic interactions (salt bridges) with numerous polar and non-polar functionalities in their interiors available for interactions with encapsulated polar molecules, as proved by X-ray analysis and diffusion NMR spectroscopy.
