Two D-4h container hosts 12 and 13 with 4(CH2-O-bridge-O-CH2) portal pillar
s were obtained in good yields by stepwise synthetic routes and showed comp
lementary complexation behaviors to their analogues with (O-CH2-bridge-CH2-
O)(4) portal pillars. H-1 NMR spectral chemical shifts of host's inward-tur
ned OCH2O protons were sensitive to guest change. The stability orders of h
emicarceplexes were 12-p-(CH3CH2)(2)C6H4 > 12-p-(CH3O)(2)C6H4 much greater
than 12-o-(CH3O)(2)C6H4 > 12-m-(CH3O)(2)C6H4 and 13-CH3COCH2CH3 > 13-CH3COC
H2CH(CH3)(2) > 13-CH3CON(CH3)(2) > 13-CH3COOCH2CH3 > 13-CH3CH2CON(CH3)(2) i
n terms of the activation energy barrier for decomplexation. Large solvent
effects on the activation energy for decomplexation of hemicarceplexes were
observed.
