Abstract
AbstractMacrocyclic molecules can serve as ion carriers when their polar groups form an inner cage to capture ions while their hydrophobic groups form an outer layer to dissolve the molecule in lipid membranes. A “template method” has been developed for high‐yield synthesis of a whole variety of macrocyclic esters, amides, and other families which may show ionophoric properties. In order to select the more promising compounds for synthesis, energetic and conformational characteristics of such molecules have been calculated from empirical energy functions. Calculations are examined using known structures and are employed to predict the properties of molecules not yet synthesized.
