J. Budka et al., Urea derivatives of calix[4]arene 1,3-alternate: an anion receptor with profound negative allosteric effect, TETRAHEDR L, 42(8), 2001, pp. 1583-1586
The complexation behaviour of tetrakis(phenylureido)calix[4]arene in the 1,
3-alternate conformation has been studied using NMR titration experiments.
It was found that this receptor with two possible binding sites exhibits a
strong negative allosteric effect which leads to the exclusive complexation
of only one anion. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
