Description

Macrocyclic cyclophanes are very suitable as completely artificial host molecules for the following reasons: a) very easy preparation, b) the well-defined molecular geometry, size, or shape, c) the readily available information concerning various physicochemical properties, e.g., macroring conformation, internal rotation etc., and d) the remarkable thermal or chemical stability. Thus, the host structures can be designed so that they may have the most appropriate size, shape, and/or functionality for the specific guest recognition. Hitherto, only a very limited number of macrocyclic cyclophane-guest pairs have been studied in the crystalline state. And most of them so far known are lattice (cavity) inclusion or channel inclusion compounds (Table I).
