Abstract
The aim of the project was to prepare monomers, dimmers and trimmers of pyridine substituted resorcinarenes. This work was the continuation of a previous project in which we studied the interactions of a dipicolilamine cavitand with anions. We decided to go a step further by investigating the reactions of our compound with metals. In addition to that we intend to see how the mentioned metal will bind or coordinate with organic and inorganic anions. Furthermore we tried to achieve host guest interactions between the mentioned anions and our compounds. The knowledge of such interactions has potential applications in medicine, the pharmaceutical industry as catalysts or enzyme mimics, and environmental control.
