The Binding of multiple Silver Cations to Representative Zn Receptors
It is important to note that the simplicity of the 1H NMR spectra, obtained in the presence of varying equivalents of Ag+, suggests the dynamic nature of the binding of Ag+ to the multiple receptor sites of Z2-Z9

Four Isoenergetic Conformers of the Oligomer Z3 density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* level
1H NMR Spectra of Z3 and Plot of Changes in the Chemical Shifts
Conclusions 1. They developed convergent syntheses of hitherto unknown fluorene-p-xylene oligomers Z1-Z9 in excellent yields with the aid of four repetitive sequences of reactions. 2. The binding of multiple silver cations to Z3-Z9 was possible due to the folding of these oligomers, by simple C-C bond rotations. 3. We are actively exploring the syntheses of the Zn analogues containing different substituents to further modulate the binding and selectivity of various metal cations.
