Abstract

A heterobinuclear complexation strategy on homoditopic pillar[5]arene was developed by using a pillar[5]arene with two rims decorated with benzaldehyde oximes. The unique selective recognition process was found to result from vesicular formation based on a controllable self-assembly, leading to binding of thorium(iv) only onto one rim, with the other rim being unoccupied for subsequent complexation of a second different metal ion.
