Key Points

To explore the design and synthesis of a family of chiral cavitands that effectively adjust their chiroptical responses when interacting with achiral fullerene guests.
Developed a modular synthesis method for chiral cavitand receptors based on calix[5]arene.
Utilized late-stage amide formation for efficient receptor construction.
Successfully synthesized a new family of chiral cavitands.
Demonstrated tunable chiroptical responses with varying fullerene guests.

Implication

Evaluates chiral cavitand receptors' optical response in fullerene interactions, implying novel receptor design potential.

Abstract

A new family of chiral self-folding cavitand receptors based on calix[5]arene has been developed. The cavitand synthesis is modular and highly convergent, relying on a late-stage amide formation step that...
