Abstract
The recent development at Birmingham of an efficient polycondensation-cycloglycosidation approach for the synthesis of cyclic oligosaccharides will be employed to construct cyclodextrin-like analogues having either alpha-1,4-linked rhamnopyranosidic or mannopyranosidic units with alternating D and L chiralities, as well as with carboxylic acid functions sited on appropriate hydroxyl groups in order to bring about the self-assembly of these derivatised cyclic oligosaccharides through multiple intermolecular hydrogen bond formation involving matching carboxylic acid dimer units.
