Abstract

Guest-love-ometer: The equilibrium inside-outside atropisomeric ratio of ortho-substituted phenyl cavitands shows a strong solvent dependence. The competition between the ortho-substituent and the solvent guest for the bowl cavity leads to a sensitive system for the measurement of relative guest binding affinities.
