Troger's Base Molecular Scaffolds in Dicarboxylic Acid Recognition
journal contribution
posted on 2000-03-04, 00:00 authored by Shyamaprosad Goswami, Kumaresh Ghosh, Swagata DasguptaArtificial receptors (1−5) have been designed and synthesized from simple precursors. The chain
length selectivity studies of dicarboxylic acids within the cavities of new fluorescent Troger's base
molecular frameworks (1−3) have been carried out with a critical examination of their role of rigidity
as well as flexibility in selective binding in comparison to receptor 5. The chiral resolution of the
racemic Troger's base receptors (1 and 2) by chiral recognition with (+)- camphoric acid using
hydrogen-bonding interactions has been studied.
