Modification of Hydrophobic and Polar Interactions by Charged Groups in Synthetic Host-Guest Complexes

That hydrophobic interactions can also play an important role in the neighborhood of charged groups has been demonstrated by comparative complexation studies with the macrocyclic host compounds 1–3; naphthalene, 1‐aminonaphthalene, the trimethyl‐1‐naphthylammonium ion and the 2‐naph‐thalenesulfonate ion were used as guests.
