'Non-covalent synthesis' of a chiral host of calix[6]arene and enantiomeric discrimination

'Non-covalent synthesis'of novel chiral hosts (calix[6]arene-chiral amine complexes) and its application to enantiomeric discrimination was investigated by H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The topology of a ternary complex was proposed for the calix[6]arene-amine-sulfoxide to rationalize the chiral recognition. Copyright (c) 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.43539840
