Abstract Molecular recognition between Rebek’s cleft R and 4-(2-benzimidazolyl)-aminomethyl-2,6-di-rm-butyl-phenol (Bi) is investigated by means of EPR spectroscopy. Their specific inter-molecular interactions are distinguished from non-specific interactions represented by mere protonation on addition of benzoic acid. Both interactions are related to intramolecular in­ terconversions at the C∞-atom of Bi*, where a two-jump mechanism is found for free and protonated Bi* and a two-site exchange for the complexed ligand. While NMR spectroscopy indicates the existence of 1:1 and 1:2 receptor-substrate complexes, the faster time scale of EPR spectroscopy allows to identify one 1 : 2 as well as three 1 : 1 associates and to elucidate their formation conditions. Based upon the corresponding hf parameters, binding modes and sites are proposed for the key-in-the-lock system.

An optical waveguide consists of a several-micron wide channel with a slightly different index of refraction than the host substrate; light can be trapped in the channel by total internal reflection.Optical waveguides can be formed from single-crystal LiNbO3 using the proton exhange technique. In this technique, polished specimens are masked with polycrystal1ine chromium in such a way as to leave 3-13 μm wide channels. These are held in benzoic acid at 249°C for 5 minutes allowing protons to exchange for lithium ions within the channels causing an increase in the refractive index of the channel and creating the waveguide. Unfortunately, optical measurements often reveal a loss in waveguiding ability up to several weeks after exchange.
