title: Molecular binding behavior of bipyridium derivatives by water-soluble carboxylato-biphen[3]arene.
abstract: Complexation of two types of dicationic bipyridium guests, paraquat derivatives and bis(N-mono-substituted bipyridine) cations, by a negatively charged carboxylato-biphen[3]arene (CBP3) in water is reported. CBP3 could strongly interact with these guests, where charge-transfer and electrostatic interactions play important roles.
