only about half of that taken up by the two former materials.Table 6.5Guest inclusion data for hydroxybenzoate guest species with receptor complexes Si-GPS-[Cd(Trac)](ClO 4 ) 2 , 94, Si-GPS-[Cd(DiPTrac)](ClO 4 ) 2 , 95, and Si-GPS-[Cd(TriPTrac)](ClO 4 ) 2 , 96, conducted in aqueous media at pH 7 in 0.01 mol dm -3HEPES buffer at 298 K.Percent Guest InclusionSilica Immobilised ReceptorsGuest Species Trac, 94 DiPTrac, 95 TriPTrac, 96apK abenzoate 30 b b 4.19p-hydroxybenzoate 32 50 31 4.54m-hydroxybenzoate 48 45 30 4.30o-hydroxybenzoate 81 76 45 2.972,6-dihydroxybenzoate 95 92 46 1.05a Values obtained in H 2 O from PHYSPROP database for their respective conjugate acids. 202b Not attempted.Lowering of the percent inclusion values seen for Si-GPS-[Cd(TriPTrac)](ClO 4 ) 2 ,96, could be related to the HTPE chain length of this material. Whereas Si-GPS-[Cd(DiPTrac)](ClO 4 ) 2 , 95, has two ethoxy moieties between its aromatic andhydroxy groups, Si-GPS-[Cd(TriPTrac)](ClO 4 ) 2 , 96, has three. The extra length inthe HTPE chain could result in orientation of the chain into the host cavity resultingin hydrogen bonding with the hydroxy groups at its base or even with each other.This would effectively create a barrier at the opening to the cavity as well as anobstruction of the host hydroxy groups making them sterically unavailable to guestmolecules. This is shown in Figure 6.5. On the other hand the polyether chain of Si-GPS-[Cd(DiPTrac)](ClO 4 ) 2 , 95, may be too short to interact with the binding cavityand hence the percent inclusion values for this material mirror values for receptor 94.106
