Article: Study data from University of Sydney update understanding of inclusion phenomena and macrocyclic chemistry.

According to recent research from Sydney, Australia, "An investigation of the interaction of hydroquinone and selected substituted derivatives with the 28-membered tetrabenzo-cyclophane-type receptor 1 and a tetramethoxy-substituted variant, 2, each incorporating an O4N2-heteroatom set, is reported. In a preliminary solution study, aromatic solvent introduced shift (ASIS) experiments had indicated that deuterated benzene is intercalated between the two xylyl bridges of cyclophane 1. In parallel with this result, a further NMR study was consistent with the inclusion of hydroquinone between the xylyl groups of 1 to produce a face-to-face pi-stacked arrangement, with ...
