Controlling the Guanidinium Cation Rotation by Cation–π Interactions
A lanthanide π‐container has been employed to trap a guanidinium cation inside the aromatic cavity by cation–π interactions. X‐ray crystallography and solid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy at fast magic‐angle spinning (MAS) frequencies have been utilized to probe the underlying host–guest interactions.

Synthesis of Ionizable Calix[4]arenes for Chelation of Selected Divalent Cations
Two sets of functionalised calix[4]arenes, either with a 1,3-crown ether bridge or with an open-chain oligo ether moiety in 1,3-position were prepared and further equipped with additional deprotonisable sulfonamide groups to establish chelating systems ...

Next Generation Hosts for Protein Recognition, Assembly and More
The original design of synthetic receptors for proteins was based on macrocycles with a hydrophobic core and a polar/charged periphery. This design, geared towards protein recognition, facilitates receptor self‐assembly. Macrocycle oligomerization, in turn, contributes to protein assembly as evidenced in many cocrystal structures.

Cationic Permethylated Cyclodextrins Capable of Self‐Assembling Into Linear Nanostructures in Water
A quaternary ammonium bridge equipped with a lipophilic substituent in permethylated cyclodextrins suppresses undesired supramolecular interactions and promotes controlled, directional head‐to‐tail self‐assembly into well‐defined linear nanostructures.

The synthesis and medicinal applications of pyrogallol4arenes [PDF]
To date almost all pyrogallol[4]arenes reported in the literature have been prepared from alkyl aldehydes. We were interested in preparing more pyrogallol[4]arenes from commercially available benzaldehydes.

We report the synthesis and characterization of a sulfated prism[5]arene host (Prism[5]MaxQ). Prism[5]MaxQ displays ultrahigh binding affinity (Ka up to 1012 M−1) toward hydrophobic (di)cations in phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS). The work positions Prism[5]MaxQ as a new member of the family of ultrahigh‐affinity hosts poised for use as a sequestrant in

Supramolecular Organocatalysis in Water Mediated by Macrocyclic Compounds
In the last decades many efforts have been devoted to design supramolecular organocatalysts able to work in water as the reaction medium. The use of water as solvent provides promising benefits with respect to environmental impact.

This research presents a novel 1,4‐π‐functionalized calix[6]arene with enhanced interactions with dialkylammonium axles. We investigate threading behavior in CDCl3, highlighting how exo‐rim π‐functionalization affects binding affinity and stereoselectivity.

Synthetic Ligands of Myeloid C‐Type Lectin Receptors
Binding of ligands to C‐type lectin receptors (CLRs) on myeloid cells can lead to an array of cellular responses. Exploitation of these receptors for therapeutic purposes requires high‐affinity ligands. This review surveys the diversity of synthetic ligands of myeloid CLRs in the context of binding, signaling, and downstream effects, as well as ...
