  • Title: Normal hydrocarbons tumble rapidly in a deep, water-soluble cavitand.
    Author: Hooley RJ, Biros SM, Rebek J.
    Journal: Chem Commun (Camb); 2006 Feb 07; (5):509-10. PubMed ID: 16432565.
    Abstract:
    A deep, water-soluble cavitand extracts n-alkanes and other water-insoluble species into its cavity via hydrophobic forces: alkanes bind in a helical manner, and tumble rapidly on the NMR timescale inside the binding pocket.
