The DOTA macrocyclic cavity in metallic radiopharmaceuticals: Mythology or reality? [PDF]
EJNMMI Radiopharmacy and Chemistry, 2023 Background The hypothetical concept of ‘macrocyclic cavity’ is largely employed as useful model to interpret the affinity of metal ions for the macrocyclic chelating ligand 2,2′,2′′,2′′′-(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetrayl)tetraacetic acid ...

Non-macrocyclic molecular design enables cavity-adaptive cocrystals with high elasticity and low-threshold lasing [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe construction of cavity-adaptive cocrystals (CACs) based on linear non-macrocyclic π-conjugated hosts remains challenging due to their inherently weak and less predictable binding capabilities compared to conventional macrocyclic hosts.

Crystal structure and supramolecular features of a bis-urea-functionalized pillar[5]arene
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2023 The crystal structure of a bis-urea derivative based on A1/A2-functionalized pillar[5]arene (DUP) that encapsulates dimethyl formamide (DMF) inside the macrocyclic cavity is reported. The crystal structure of DUP·DMF, C63H70N4O12·C3H7NO, reveals that out

Proton in the ring: spectroscopy and dynamics of proton bonding in macrocycle cavities
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2021 Protons confined in the ring cavities of crown ethers form dynamic proton bonds that migrate to varying pairs of coordinating atoms, at a rate depending on electronegativity and on the flexibility of the macrocycle backbone.
