美国Emory大学的化学家设计并合成了一种有机分子络合物试剂,称为hexapus。这种新试剂的结构是:在新月形3,4-二甲氧基苯甲撑三环体(cyclotriveratrylene)的骨架上伸出六条11个碳的脂肪酸链。带有游离羧酸盐端基的六条脂肪酸链可使该试剂溶于水。但这六条脂肪酸链也可闭合起来形成一个可变的憎水性空穴。有机物分子可以进 Chemists at Emory University in the United States designed and synthesized an organic molecule complex reagent known as hexapus. The structure of this new reagent is that there are six 11-carbon fatty acid chains sticking out onto the skeleton of the crescent 3,4-dimethoxybenzyltrimethyl cyclotriveratrylene. Six fatty acid chains with free carboxylate end groups allow the reagent to dissolve in water. But these six fatty acid chains can also close together to form a variable hydrophobic hole. Organic molecules can enter
