Synthesis and characterization of a template-assembled synthetic U-quartet

Abstract

A lipophilic cavitand containing four triazole-linked uridine residues has been synthesized and characterized. Spectral evidence suggests a quartet arrangement of the uracil residues at both ambient and low temperatures. Treatment of the compound with Sr2+ yields a homodimeric complex as evidenced by NMR spectroscopy.
