Future Work Now that we have made some supramolecular hosts we are systematically testing organic ligands that match our super-molecule in size, hydrogen bonding and other intermolecular interactions. We will also investigate the metal complexes of such compounds in order to evaluate outer sphere metal-complex recognition. In order to study these interactions, NMR, UV-Vis, fluorescence, mass spectroscopy and finally crystal structures will be used.
