Abstract
The synthesis of disulfonamide receptor scaffolds for anion binding is reported. Acyclic receptors are found to tightly bind acetate in MeCN-d(3) with dominant 1:1 stoichiometry, a smaller, sequential 1:2 (H+G) association is also found. Constraint of the disulfonamide receptor into macrocycles serves to eliminate the 1:2 binding stoichiometry and X-ray crystal structures of several macrocyclic receptors allow rationalisation of their affinity for acetate binding. L-Valine derived macrocycles maintain tight 1:1 binding of acetate (K-a(1:1) >10(4) M-1) in MeCN-d(3) and display preference for oxyanion binding in more competitive MeCN-d(3)/2% H2O.
