A new L-lysine appended receptor based on diphenylglycoluril is described.
This compound self-assembles to form well-defined tubules in chloroform and
vesicles in water. The host molecule strongly binds Magneson both in chlor
oform and in water, and L-dopa in water mimicking an adrenergic receptor. (
