Abstract
ABSTRACT The thermodynamics of model host–guest-binding reactions is examined in depth using isothermal titration calorimetry. In conflict with classical thermodynamics, the results indicate that the equilibrium-binding quotient, K, is not a constant for all pairings. This outcome is predicted by an equation for binding equilibria that includes an explicit term for the change in solvation free energy that accompanies the formation of a binary complex. Application of this framework to the experimentally observed concentration dependence of K allows one to obtain the energetic contribution of the solvent, a linked equilibrium denoted here as ΔG H2O. The estimated values of ΔG H2O are large and unfavourable for the binding of selected guest molecules to two hosts, cucurbit[7]uril and p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene. Intriguingly, the estimated values of ΔG H2O are near zero for the binding of two hydrophobic guest molecules to β-cyclodextrin, leading to a thought-provoking discussion on the driving force behind the hydrophobic effect.

期刊介绍:
Supramolecular Chemistry welcomes manuscripts from the fields and sub-disciplines related to supramolecular chemistry and non-covalent interactions. From host-guest chemistry, self-assembly and systems chemistry, through materials chemistry and biochemical systems, we interpret supramolecular chemistry in the broadest possible sense. Interdisciplinary manuscripts are particularly encouraged. Manuscript types include: high priority communications; full papers; reviews, and; Methods papers, techniques tutorials highlighting procedures and technologies that are important to the field. We aim to publish papers in a timely fashion and as soon as a paper has been accepted and typeset it will be published in electronic form on the Latest articles section of the website. The two most important review criteria are that the paper presents high-quality work that fits generally into the broad spectrum of activities in the supramolecular chemistry field. Under normal circumstances, Supramolecular Chemistry does not consider manuscripts that would be more suitable in a highly specialized journal. This includes, but is not limited to, those based mostly or exclusively on topics such as solid state/X-ray structures, computational chemistry, or electrochemistry. .
