| Abstract: | Cooperativity between different noncovalent host–guest interactions is the key for the successful generation of selective supramolecular sensors. A new class of cavitands capable of synergistic CH⋅⋅⋅π interactions and hydrogen bonding has been designed and exploited for the detection of alcohol vapors using mass transducers (see schematic representation). |
