Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is a chemical substance associated with everyday human life. In order to recognize caffeine in water, six water-soluble acyclic phane compounds composed of three aromatic rings were examined as artificial receptors. H-1 NMR titration experiments revealed that 6,6'-[1,3-phenylenebis(carbonylimino)]bis-1,3-naphthalenedisulfonate had the highest binding ability for caffeine, with a binding constant (K-b) of 127 +/- 5 M-1 at 300 K. While this phane compound also formed a complex with theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine) at around half the value of the binding constant for caffeine (K-b=64 +/- 4 M-1), it showed weak or little complexation for adenosine, guanosine, inosine, and their 5'-phosphates (sodium salts of adenylic acid, guanylic acid, and inosinic acid).
