Thermodynamic Approach for Synthesizing [2]Catenanes from Borate Ion-Containing Crown Ethers and a Macrocyclic Ammonium Ion
{{output}}
In this study, we synthesized [2]catenanes from bis-catechol spiroborate ion-containing crown ethers and a macrocyclic ammonium ion through hydrogen bonding and ion pairing. The borate-forming reaction of bis-catechol and trimethyl borate in the presence of an... ...
