title: Synthesis, Solid-State Structures, and Molecular Recognition of Chiral Molecular Tweezer and Related Structures Based on a Rigid Bis-Naphthalene Cleft.
abstract: The rigid and nonchiral bis-naphthalene cleft was used for the first time as a scaffold to build a chiral molecular tweezer. The molecular tweezer and its related compounds have been synthesized and carefully characterized by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. Their solid-state structures and molecular recognition properties have also been studied.
