A photoswitchable strapped calix[4]pyrrole receptor: highly effective chloride binding and release
David Villarón, Maxime A. Siegler, Sander J. Wezenberg
Abstract
-isomer and the geometry of the chloride-bound receptors is optimized by DFT calculations. The highly effective control of binding affinity demonstrated in this work opens up new prospects for on demand binding and release in extractions and photocontrol of membrane transport processes, among other applications.
