Synthesis of water-soluble tris(cyclophane) hosts and surface plasmon resonance study on guest-binding interaction with immobilized guests
Tris(cyclophane) derivatives were prepared as water-soluble hosts by connecting three macrocyclic skeletons. The present hosts showed enhanced guest-binding affinity relative to that by simple cyclophane, as confirmed by surface plasmon resonance measurements.
