Abstract
The self-complexing macrocycle 4.4PF(6) has been shown to behave as a chromophoric receptor for the 1,5-dioxynaphthalene derivative 3, which is able to displace the hydroquinone ring out from the cavity of the self-complexing macrocycle 4.4PF(6) and in so doing produces a 1:1 com plex. This process is accompanied by an alteration in the UV/Vis absor bance which is reflected in a change in the colour of the solution - f rom red to purple. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
