Abstract

Custom built: A promising new approach towards more efficient self-assembled cage receptors through computer-aided design is demonstrated. The resulting M4L6 tetrahedral cage, internally functionalized with accurately positioned urea hydrogen-bonding groups (see structure; yellow: predicted, blue: experimental, space-filling: SO 42-), proved to be a remarkably strong sulfate receptor in water.
