Abstract
The synthesis and binding properties of a new macrocycle is reported. The host, comprised of three basic pyridines, four hydrogen bond accepting carbonyls, and two hydrogen bond donating amide groups, binds mono-alkyl ammonium salts in a manner that is dependent on the counter-ion of the ammonium guest.
