Abstract
Diquinone-based resorcin[4]arene cavitands that open to a kite and close to a vase form upon changing their redox state, thereby releasing and binding guests, have been prepared and studied. The switching mechanism is based on intramolecular H-bonding interactions that stabilize the vase form and are only present in the reduced hydroquinone state. The intramolecular H-bonds were characterized using X-ray, IR, and NMR spectroscopies. Guests were bound in the closed, reduced state and fully released in the open, oxidized state.
