The Design and Application of Diureido Functionalized Spiroligomers as Diphosphate Receptors
Abstract
Spiroligomers are rigid, stereochemically defined scaffolds that can be programmed to display functional groups in precise three-dimensional constellations. We utilize this scaffold to position two urea groups in a preorganized geometry for anion binding. Among the receptors synthesized, the spiroligomer with RRRR-configuration displayed the strongest affinity for hydrogen pyrophosphate H2PPi (H2P2O7
