Dynamic hemicarcerands and hemicarceplexes.
Abstract
The reversible nature of the imine bond formation in CDCl(3) solution has been exploited to exchange substituted for unsubstituted m-phenylenediamine (MPD) units in hemicarcerand octaimines. Moreover, acid-catalyzed imine exchange has been shown to provide a novel mechanism whereby ferrocene (Fc) can be released as an entrapped guest from the hemicarceplex C(2)B(4)&crcldt;Fc dissolved in CDCl(3) to give the hemicarcerand C(2)B(4) when excess of both MPD and trifluoroacetic acid are present.
