This critical review includes advances in anion complexation in the year 2007. The review
covers anion receptors that employ amides and thioamides, pyrroles and indoles, ureas and …

This feature article highlights recent developments in the field of synthetic receptors
designed to recognize nitrate with a particular emphasis on:(i) synthetic receptors for nitrate …

The synthesis of the first halogen bonding [3] rotaxane host system containing a bis‐iodo
triazolium‐bis‐naphthalene diimide four station axle component is reported. Proton NMR …

The pollution of groundwater with nitrate is a serious issue because nitrate can cause
several diseases such as methemoglobinemia or cancer. Therefore, selective removal of …

A M2L4 cage with D4 symmetry was self-assembled from four anthracene-bridged
benzimidazole ligands and two PdII ions. The cage features a concise hydrophobic pocket …

A new benzene-based hexasubstituted bistripodal receptor is synthesized and explored as
a new generation receptor for multiple anion binding. The solid state crystal structure …

Nitrate sensing is an important application for potentiometry in environmental applications.
Its recognition is by ion‐exchangers whose selectivity is governed by the lipophilicity of the …

The first nitrate anion templated assembly of an interlocked molecular architecture is
demonstrated through the preparation of a [2] rotaxane. Removal of the discrete nitrate …

A new receptor has been designed and synthesized for selective recognition of anions
through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. The recognition ability has been …

Herein we describe the design, synthesis, and anion binding properties of bicyclic receptors
with two or three anthracenes, which show a turn-on fluorescence response in the presence …
