Abstract

A solution to the vexing problem of investigating solvent-mediated electron transfer under conditions of frozen solvent motion may be at hand with the synthesis of novel U-shaped systems such as 1 (R=CO(2)Me) and 2 (R=CH(2)OMe), in which the imide-functionalized cleft provides the point of attachment of the "solvent" molecule, either covalently or by hydrogen bonding.
