Abstract

Bis-quinacridine cyclo-bis-intercaland receptors are shown to form 1:2 complexes with nucleoside monophosphates in water (see scheme). The preferential binding of guanosine derivatives, which might originate in specific base/base interactions inside the complex, has been confirmed by ESI-MS experiments.
