A cavitand with ionic, but nonionizable feet folds around hydrophobic guests in D2O. Short alkanes and ibuprofen are included and exchange rates are slow on the NMR timescale. Normal octanoyl groups show good affinity for the cavitand and the gastric peptide ghrelin is bound at low pH and physiological temperature.
