title = "A self-complexing macrocycle acting as a chromophoric receptor",
abstract = "The self-complexing macrocycle 4. 4PF6 has been shown to behave as a chromophoric receptor for the 1,5-dioxynaphthalene derivative 3, which is able to displace the hydroquinone ring out from the cavity of the self-complexing macrocycle 4. 4PF6 and in so doing produces a 1:1 complex. This process is accompanied by an alteration in the UV/V is absorbance which is reflected in a change in the colour of the solution - from red to purple.",
