  ABSTRACT: A cationic water-soluble cyclophane (1a) having a rhodamine moiety as a red-fluorescence fluorophore was prepared by reaction of a monoamine derivative of tetraaza[6.1.6.1]paracyclophane having three N-t-butoxycarbonyl-β-alanine residues with rhodamine B isothiocyanate, followed by removal of the protecting groups. The guest-binding behavior of 1a toward anionic guests such as dabsyl derivative and 4-(1-pyrene)butanoate was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. The results suggested the formation of host-guest complexes with a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 and the binding constants (K) of the host-guest complexes were evaluated.
