Association constants (K, [M−1]) expressed as log K, effective molarities (EM), limiting NMR chemical shifts (δfree and δbound) and limiting complexation-induced changes in chemical shift (Δδ) measured by NMR titrations in toluene-d8 and chloroform-d at 298 Ka.

a

Each titration was repeated twice, and the average value is reported with errors at the 95% confidence limit.

b

Data for the signals due to the OH and CF3 groups on the phenol recognition units.

c

Signals due to the OH protons were too broad to be detected. n.d. = not detected.
