title: Monofunctionalized pillar[5]arene as a host for alkanediamines.
abstract: Alkanediamines serve as neutral guests for the recently discovered host pillar[5]arene. The proposed [2]pseudorotaxane nature of the superstructure of the 1:1 host-guest complexes is supported by the template-directed synthesis of a related [2]rotaxane. A synthetic route to monofunctional pillar[5]arenes has also been developed, allowing for the creation of a fluorescent sensor for alkylamine binding. The precursors to this host could act as starting points for a large library of monofunctional pillar[5]arene macrocycles.
