A Modular and Convergent Synthetic Route to Supramolecular Cyclic Dimers Based on Amidinium-Carboxylate Interactions

We describe herein the optimized design and modular synthetic approach towards supramolecularly programmed monomers that can form discrete macrocyclic species of controllable size and shape through amidinium-carboxylate interactions in apolar and polar media.

Automated summary

We describe an optimized design and modular synthetic approach for the formation of discrete macrocyclic species of controllable size and shape through amidinium-carboxylate interactions in both apolar and polar media.
