title: Synthesis and recognition studies with a ditopic, photoswitchable deep cavitand.
abstract: We describe the synthesis and photochemical behavior of open-ended container modules connected by a 4,4'-azobiphenyl spacer. Both trans and cis azo configurations of the host can be accessed and their binding of guest molecules was characterized by NMR methods.
