Design, structure and anion recognition of larger-rim functionalized oxacalix[2]arene[2]triazine hosts

Larger-rim functionalized tetraoxacalix[2]arene[2]triazine host molecules were efficiently synthesized through a fragment coupling followed by AlCl3-mediated deprotection/arylation protocol. Substituent effects, functions of counter cations on anion recognition in solution were systematically studied by means of fluorescence and NMR titrations.
