Cavity-Size-Dependent Recognition of Naphthalene Derivatives by 3,3′-Bipyridinium Tetracationic Cyclophanes

The recognition behavior of tetracationic cyclophanes is strongly influenced by the geometric match between the host cavity and aromatic guests. Herein, we compare two 3,3′-bipyridinium-based tetracationic cyclophanes, BPy-Box⁴⁺ and NBox⁴⁺, toward a series of naphthalene derivati...
