The development of new self-assembling building blocks, known as synthons, is an important aspect of expanding the chemists’ supramolecular toolkit. We are interested in noncovalent 2S—2N square interactions using 2,1,3-chalcogenadiazole (BTD) building blocks, and are working towards the construction of a new receptor molecule that will quantify solution-phase BTD binding affinities. Our synthetic progress and modeling studies will be presented.
