The study of the complexation of anions, from its beginnings in the late 1960s and 1970s,(1-
3) has moved on from being an area solely of academic interest to a fundamental pillar of …

This tutorial review focuses on some recent aspects in the development of synthetic
receptors for selective sulfate anion recognition and separation, with a special emphasis …

Selective anion extraction is useful for the recovery and purification of valuable chemicals,
and in the removal of pollutants from the environment. Here we report that FeII4L4 cage 1 is …

Using dynamic combinatorial disulfide chemistry we have developed a new generation of
neutral synthetic receptors for anions, based on a macrobicyclic peptide structure. These …

We report the synthesis and characterization of three dinuclear 3 d 3 d′ complexes, CuCu
([C u 2 IIL (NO 3) 2]), MnMn ([M n 2 IIL (M e OH) 2 (NO 3) 2]), and CuMn ([CuIIMnII L (NO3) …

A series of metallosupramolecular [Fe2L3](BF4) 4 “click” cylinders have been synthesized in
excellent yields (90%–95%) from [Fe (H2O) 6](BF4) 2 and bis (bidentate) pyridyl-1, 2, 3 …

Readily synthesised and functionalised di-1, 2, 3-triazole “click” ligands are shown to self-
assemble into coordinatively saturated, quadruply stranded helical [Pd2L4](BF4) 4 cages …

A simple tris-(2-aminoethyl) amine based pentafluorophenyl substituted tripodal urea
receptor L has been extensively studied as a versatile receptor for various anions …

Selective crystallization of sulfate with a simple bis‐guanidinium ligand, self‐assembled in
situ from terephthalaldehyde and aminoguanidinium chloride, was employed as an effective …

The influence of chelate and mini-chelate effects on sulfate binding was explored for six
amide-, amide/amine-, urea-, and urea/amine-based ligands. Two of the urea-based hosts …
