| Abstract | Design and study of molecular receptors capable of mimickingnatural processes has found applications in basic research as well as inthe development of potentially useful technologies. Of the variousreceptors reported, the cyclophanes are known to encapsulate guestmolecules in their cavity utilizing various non–covalent interactionsresulting in significant changes in their optical properties. This uniqueproperty of the cyclophanes has been widely exploited for thedevelopment of selective and sensitive probes for a variety of guestmolecules including complex biomolecules. Further, the incorporation ofmetal centres into these systems added new possibilities for designingreceptors such as the metallocyclophanes and transition metalcomplexes, which can target a large variety of Lewis basic functionalgroups that act as selective synthetic receptors.The ligands that form complexes with the metal ions, and arecapable of further binding to Lewis-basic substrates through opencoordination sites present in various biomolecules are particularlyimportant as biomolecular receptors. In this context, we synthesized afew anthracene and acridine based metal complexes and novelmetallocyclophanes and have investigated their photophysical andbiomolecular recognition properties. |
