摘要
Study of host-guest interaction with the aid of proper model system is helpful to the understanding of complicated chemical reactions in biological processes on the molecular level. Cyclodextrins and crown ethers are two kinds of the most extensively studied host molecules and enzyme mimics. The cyclodextrins are very hydrophilic on their out rims but lipophilic on the inner remainder; the crown ethers are highly lipophilic on the outside and hydrophilic on the inside. In recent years, calixarene has been found a new kind of host compounds, which can form host-guest inclusion complexes with many kinds of
