摘要: A fluorescent macrocyclic anion receptor based on the 2,6-bis(2-anilinoethynyl)pyridine scaffold has been synthesized to investigate mechanism of fluorescence quenching in this class compounds. X-ray crystallography reveals that binding pocket is a natural host both H2O and HCl, accommodating either molecule nearly identical environments. Our studies show protonation, not collisional quenching, responsible for observed response.
