apparent there is, nonetheless, evidence from guest binding constant data thatsuggests preferential stabilisation of these guest species that are aromatic in nature. 124Figure 1.10 X-ray determined structure of the inclusion complex formed between p-aminobenzoateand [Cd(26)] 2+ . 93Figure 1.11 X-ray determined structure of the inclusion complex formed between two p-nitrophenolate molecules and [Cd(26)] 2+ . 124Moreover, electrostatic interaction between the Cd 2+ ion and the anion is minimaland therefore is not a great contributor to the stability of the complex as the closestpoint of approach between them is greater than 3.9 Å. 124As the properties of the pendant arms and the macrocycle are retained upon N-substitution the chemical properties of the receptor could be diversified to include forexample groups that would increase its solubility in aqueous media.
