How the information obtained from the gas phase experiments can reflect the processes in solution is a crucial question for analytical chemistry, and particularly the selective host–guest recognition mechanisms which are fundamental in biology. Here we combine ElectroSpray Ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and the Collision Induced Dissociation (CID) experiments to the density functional theory to investigate the interaction of acetylcholine and the choline cation with a triphosphonate cavitand. While the relative abundance of the cation complexes in the ESI mass spectrum reflects the preferential capture of the acetylcholine ion over the choline ion by the cavitand in the solution, the gas phase CID measurements indicate that after desolvation the choline cation is the most strongly bound to the host. The experimental results are interpreted by theory that underlines the role of the counterion in the stabilization of the complexes in solution and therefore in the selective recognition of substrates of biological interest.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
