Allosterically Controlled Capture of Mutually Repulsive Guests With Positive Cooperativity and Ultrahigh Affinity

ABSTRACT A hexacationic cage incorporating three urea units can encapsulate two mutually repulsive anions in close proximity through a combination of hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. This leads to exceptionally high binding affinities, with a K 1 × K 2 value of ap...
