Abstract

This Letter reports the synthesis of three dicationic and two hexacationic receptors in which two porphyrin units are connected with an aryl amide linker. 1H NMR and X-ray crystal structure analysis for model compounds show that in aqueous or DMSO medium the receptors could adopt preorganized U-styled conformation due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding-induced rigidity of the amide linker. 1H NMR, UV–vis and fluorescent investigations revealed that the ionic receptors efficiently complex C60C(CO2-)2 in aqueous medium with cooperative intermolecular electrostatic and donor–acceptor interactions as driving forces. A 1:1 binding stoichiometry has been established for the complexes and the related association constants have been evaluated.
