Talk given by Dr. Thierry Brotin Laboratoire de Chimie ENS & CNRs Lyon, France Abstract: This oral presentation aims at giving an overview of cryptophane derivatives and their possible applications. During this presentation I will address the synthesis and the binding properties of cryptophane derivatives. These organic systems have been first prepared in the early 80’s and they show interesting binding properties towards a large range of molecules (neutral achiral or chiral molecules) or charged species (cesium). More recently, the binding of xenon by water-soluble cryptophane derivatives has attracted a lot of attention since these supramolecular complexes can be used for biosensing in magnetic resonance imaging. Several examples of such systems will be presented during this presentation. In addition, the overwhelming majority of the cryptophanes are chiral. Thus, their optical resolution and the study of their chiroptical properties constitute another important field of research. The access to these enantiopure derivatives will be presented and some of their chiroptical properties will be described in the presence or absence of guest molecules.
