• closedAccess   Acyclic Pseudopeptidic Hosts as Molecular Receptors and Transporters for Anions 

      Martí Vidal, Inés; Burguete, M. Isabel; Gale, Philip A.; Luis, Santiago V. Wiley-VCH Verlag (2015)
      The synthesis and characterization of different pseudopeptidic hosts derived from open chain systems with C2 and C3 symmetry has been achieved. These receptors are based on structures containing phenylalanine amino acid ...
    • closedAccess   Pseudopeptidic Cages as Receptors for N-Protected Dipeptides 

      Faggi, Enrico; Moure, Alejandra; Bolte, Michael; Vicent Barrera, Cristian; Luis, Santiago V.; Alfonso Rodríguez, Ignacio American Chemical Society (2014-04)
      The molecular recognition of short peptides is a challenge in supramolecular chemistry, and the use of peptide-like cage receptors represents a promising approach. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of a ...
    • closedAccess   Substrate selective catalytic molecular hydrogels: the role of the hydrophobic effect 

      Berdugo Gumbau, Cristina; Miravet, Juan; Escuder, Beatriu Royal Society of Chemistry (2013-09-17)
      A catalytic hydrogel is reported for the substrate selective direct aldol reaction of aliphatic ketones based on their hydrophobicity and on the emergence of catalytic activity only after self-assembly of the catalyst.
    • closedAccess   Synthesis of chiral room temperature ionic liquids from amino acids – application in chiral molecular recognition 

      González, Laura; Altava, Belen; Bolte, Michael; Burguete, M. Isabel; Garcia-Verdugo, Eduardo; Luis, Santiago V. Wiley-VCH Verlag (2012)
      A series of structurally new room temperature chiral ionic liquids based on an imidazolium group and derived from natural amino acids have been synthesized and studied as chiral shift agents for the chiral discrimination ...
