Abstract

A macrocycle-based receptor system was developed to study the interactions of fatty acids and their coenzyme A derivatives with the binding site of a receptor molecule. Although the specific compounds failed to fulfill the purpose of their design, interesting information about ammonium ion interactions with azacrowns was obtained by use of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry.
