A tetraphenylethene-based hexacationic molecular cage with an open cavity†
Abstract
A tetraphenylethene-based hexacationic molecular cage (1) with an open cavity was synthesized. 1 exhibited 1 : 2 or 1 : 1 host–guest recognition for two nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide molecules (NADH and NAD+) with different CD and fluorescence responses in water.
