New ditopic sensory elements 2 and 3 for catecholamines based on a hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene, with a boronic acid substituent appended, were designed and synthesized. As an interesting mode of molecular recognition at membrane surfaces, the host, when incorporated into poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) liquid membranes, displayed excellent potentiometric selectivity for dopamine over other catecholamines (noradrenaline and adrenaline) and inorganic cations (Na+, K+, and NH4+).
