Part I. Isoindolin-1-One Receptors for CG Base Pairs in a DNA Triple Helix. Part II. Cross-Linked Dendrimer Hosts Containing Reporter Groups for Amine Guests
RCM of the dendrimer followed by hydrolysis created a cross-linked host, which was used in UV/Vis titrations. These studies showed that the dendritic hosts binds unbranched diamines 53 to 85-fold more tightly than it binds monoamines. Furthermore, an assay of the dendrimer with several amine and …
