title: Synthesis of a water-soluble bis(m-phenylene)-32-crown-10-based cryptand and its pH-responsive binding to a paraquat derivative.
abstract: By introducing a third arm with two anionic carboxylate groups, a water-soluble bis(m-phenylene)-32-crown-10-based cryptand was synthesized. Its pH-controlled host-guest complexation with a paraquat derivative in water was studied.
