Abstract:
A lipophilic cavitand containing four triazole-linked uridine residues has been synthesized and characterized. Spectral evidence suggests a quartet arrangement of the uracil residues at both ambient and low temperatures. Treatment of the compound with Sr(2+) yields a homodimeric complex as evidenced by NMR spectroscopy.
