Adenine recognition through triplex-like interactions was explored using clamp-shaped artificial receptor 1, bearing two uracil units and an extended naphthalene scaffold. The requisite binding mode was confirmed for 9-ethyladenine in CDCl3 via NMR investigations. Phase-transfer experiments demonstrated that 1 selectively binds adenosine from an aqueous mixture of four ribonucleosides.
