title: Synthesis of a four-armed cage molecule and its pH-controlled complexation with paraquat.
abstract: A four-armed cage molecule was synthesized and its pH-controlled host-guest complexation with paraquat was studied. The influences of the location and composition of the arms were also investigated, guiding us to search for more complicate hosts with higher binding affinities.
