Encapsulation of oligoethylene glycols and perfluoro-n-alkanes in a cylindrical host molecule

摘要

Oligoethylene glycols and perfluoro-n-alkanes are suitable guests for the synthetic cylindrical host molecule 1_2;an investigation of these host-guest systems is reported.Guest molecules encapsulated in larger molecular hosts are known to adapt their conformation and in some cases isomeric distribution to maximize attractive interactions and minimize repulsive interactions with the host.
