Supramolecular Chemistry and Self-Assembled Ionophores. Our research provides an excellent foundation from which to design improved self-assembled ionophores. To design new self-assembled ionophores that selectively bind cations. To selectively transport cations across liquid and bilayer membranes. Structural characterization of these self-assembled ionophores, always a challenge in supramolecular chemistry, is thorough.
Cation binding thermodynamics are independently determined using isothermal titration calorimetry.
