Supramolecular chemistry focuses on the study of species joined by non-covalent
interactions, and therefore on dynamic and relatively ill-defined structures. Despite being a …

Control of phosphate capture and release is vital in environmental, biological, and
pharmaceutical contexts. However, the binding of trivalent phosphate (PO43−) in water is …

This brief review highlights recent advances in the transport of oxoanions using synthetic
carriers, focusing on both progress and ongoing challenges in the field. The difficulty of …

We demonstrate that a tripodal hexaurea receptor can selectively bind PO43− anions via 12
hydrogen bonds with up to 3.8× 106 M− 1 binding affinity in DMSO, which is 38-fold stronger …

Therapeutic applications have sparked increased interest in the use of synthetic anion
receptors for ion transport across lipid membranes. In this context, the construction of …

Antimony-centered pnictogen bonds at the stibine level have provided access to good
catalysis in solution and outstanding ion transport and catalysis in lipid bilayer membranes …

Ion transport across cell membranes is crucial in maintaining ion homeostasis in cells.
Synthetic molecules that can mimic the functions of natural ion channel proteins would …

Shape-persistent arylene ethynylene molecular cages have been investigated as
transmembrane channels for ions and small molecules. The molecular cages were obtained …

Macrocyclization has proven to be a useful design strategy in the development of efficient
anion receptors. In addition to the ring size, the overall preorganization due to structural …
