Abstract

If the past century of chemistry has been primarily concerned with understanding and manipulating the covalent bond, then the next will surely be dominated by non-covalent interactions. We aim to understand how to use a range of non-covalent interactions to create new macrocycles that are capable of recognition and catalysis or that have unusual properties. This chapter will focus on the use of NMR to elucidate the recognition properties of a series of macrocycles that contain metalloporphyrins. Following this brief introduction we will examine a series of systems that display increasing flexibility, and therefore increasing responsiveness to the geometric demands of their ligands. Our work is carried out in non-polar solvents such as CDCl3 or toluene.
