title: Synthesis of a cationic water-soluble pillar[6]arene and its effective complexation towards naphthalenesulfonate guests.
abstract: A novel positively charged pillar[6]arene derivative bearing twelve pyridinium moieties has been synthesized. Its efficient complexation behavior towards two anionic naphthalenesulfonate substrates in aqueous media is described.
