i) Binding data from NMR titration experiments

The binding constants were calculated by fitting the titration

data, using NMRTit HG software, kindly provided by Prof C. A.

Hunter, University of Sheffield (A. P. Bisson, C. A. Hunter, J. C.

Morales, K. Young, Chem. Eur. J. 1998, 4, 845). Data was recorded

using standard NMR titration protocols, recording the shift for

various 1H signals on addition of aliquots of guest. An association

constant was determined using the data from each separate 1H

signal, and averaged to give a final association constant. The

rather large discrepancies between association constants obtained

from the data for different 1H signals in CD3CN, in the same

titration experiment, is not surprising in view of the fact that

the data gives binding constants at the upper limit of

detectability using NMR titrations (104 - 105 M-1) (L. Fielding,

Tetrahedron 2000, 56, 6151; C. S. Wilcox, Frontiers in

Supramolecular Organic Chemistry and Photochemistry (Eds.: H.-J.

Schneider, H. Dürr), VCH, Weinheim, 1991, pp. 123-143; G. Weber,

S. R. Anderson, Biochemistry, 1965, 4, 1942.) In these cases it

can be concluded that Ka > 104 M-1, but more precise values cannot

be reliably obtained from the NMR titration data.

ii) Binding data from ITC titration experiments

All binding experiments were performed on an isothermal titration

calorimeter from Microcal Inc. (Northampton, MA). In a typical

experiment a 1 - 2 mM receptor solution is added to the

calorimetric cell. A 48 - 78 mM solution of TBA acetate is

introduced in 50 injections of 5 µL, for a total of 250µL of added

guest. Such high concentrations of guests are important to

generate sharp curves, necessary for acceptable curve fitting. The

solution is continuously stirred to ensure rapid mixing and kept

at 25°C, through the combination of an external cooling bath and an

internal heater. Dilution effects are determined by performing a

blank experiment by adding the same guest solution into the pure

solvent and subtracting this from the raw titration to produce the

final binding curve. Association parameters are found by applying

either one-site or two-sites models, using the Origin software

provided. These methods rely on standard nonlinear least-squares

regression (Levenberg-Marquard method) to fit the curves, taking

into account the change in volume that occurs during the

calorimetric titration (W. H. Press, S. A. Teukolsky, W. T.

Vetterling, B. P. Flannery, Numerical recipes in C, 2nd ed.,

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1988).
