A supramolecular approach for modeling active sites of metallo-enzymes relies on the association of a metal ion bound to a tris(imidazole) core under the control of a cavity. One step further is the water-solubilization of the cavity-complex. Here, we describe the synthesis of a water-soluble bowl-l...
