Abstract

Synthetic hydrogen-bonding receptors are described, which incorporate a central electroactive ferrocene moiety grafted with two adjacent bis(amido)pyridine motifs and an aliphatic tether (14 and 18 methylene units for 1 and 2, respectively) completing the macrocycle. The crystallographic structure, barbiturate guest-binding studies and electrochemical data are provided for the more strongly-binding macrocycle 2.
