Abstract
A calix[4]arene derivative containing uracil, 5β(uracilβN^1^βacetamido)β25,26,27,28βtetrahy droxycalix[4]βarene (UC), was designed and synthesized. The interaction with nucleotides and bases has also been studied by ESIβMS and ΟβA isotherms. The results of ESIβMS showed that UC could recognize adenine and adenosine from other nucleotides and bases. In addition, ΟβA isotherms at the airβwater interface indicated that there was interaction between UC and the species in the subphase, and the respective complexes were formed in the monolayer. The mean molecular area at zero surface pressure increased with the sizes of the nucleotides and bases in the subphase in the order: water2.
