Abstract
The synthetic strategy to connect two macrotricyclic ammonium salts of different sizes (1, 2) to give the ditopic receptor 9 is described. A host-guest complexation analysis reveals that the binding of 13 in contrast to the analogues 10 - 12 involves interactions with either tetrahedral subsite of 9. The ditopic receptor 9 discriminates between 12 and 13 by a factor of 3 relative to the monotopic host 2.
