All the conceivable donor and acceptor sites of urea are involved in hydrogen bonds in the complex with the highly preorganized artificial receptor 1 . The resulting complex is so stable that it can be purified by thermal recrystallization from pure DMSO; a stability constant of 1.4 × 10 4 M −1 has been estimated from the urea‐selective UV/Vis response of this receptor.
