| Abstract: | Lined up water molecules: Artificial transmembrane channels from pillar5]arene monomeric and dimeric derivatives have been prepared. Single-channel conductance measurements and isotope effect experiments under acidic conditions showed selective proton transport through the channels, which were mediated by water wires formed in the pillar5]arene backbones (see picture). |
