Structural characterization of the phosphate complex with a thiophene-based macrocycle suggests that two dihydrogen phosphates in a dimeric form are encapsulated in the cavity via several hydrogen bonds from NH···O and CH···O interactions. In the lattice framework, the two dimers are linearly hydrogen-bonded to form a tetramer. <sup>1</sup>H NMR titrations suggest that the host forms a 1:1 complex with phosphate, showing an association constant of 120 M<sup>-1</sup> in D<sub>2</sub>O at pH = 5.5 ...[more]
