Abstract
Concave hydrocarbons, such as 1 (C36H36), 4 (C60H60), 5 (C54H48), and 6 (C60H52), represent three-dimensionally clamped analogues of pi-pris mands. They encapsulate small metal ions and accomplish metal-ion extr action from aqueous solution. Their remarkable selectivity allows appl ications such as incorporation in ion-selective electrodes. The synthe tic route is based on well-established cyclophane methodology and, thu s, offers a general approach to a whole family of concave hydrocarbons .
