Directional self‐assembly of conformationally well-defined complexes in polar environment is still a major challenge in supramolecular chemistry. In the present study we demonstrate that resorcin[4]arene sulfonic acid (RSA) interacts with chiral amines (amino acid derivatives and aminocavitands) to form inclusion complexes and capsules based on electrostatic interactions. The complexes were characterized by circular dichroism and DOSY NMR spectroscopy. Chirality transfer from amines onto a resorcinarene skeleton was manifested by the appearance of signals in CD spectra and diastereotopic splitting in NMR spectra. The complexes proved to be thermodynamically stable in methanol, but DMSO and methanol/water mixtures were found to be highly disintegrative for these complexes. This result is quite non-intuitive and worth attention in the context of formation of supramolecular complexes in polar environment, for which DMSO is most often a first-choice solvent.

Much work has been reported on the chemical, physical and morphological properties of urinary Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein (THG). Although it was once reported that cystic fibrotic (CF) individuals had a defective THG, more recent data indicate that THG and CF-THG are similar if not identical.No studies on the conformational aspects have been reported on this glycoprotein using circular dichroism (CD). We examined the secondary structure of THG and derivatives under various conditions and have correlated these results with quaternary structure using electron microscopy.THG was prepared from normal adult males and CF-THG from a 16-year old CF female by the method of Tamm and Horsfall. CF female by the method of Tamm and Horsfall.
