Sensing of metal ions and anions is of great importance because of their widespread
distribution in environmental systems and biological processes. Colorimetric and fluorescent …

On the basis of many literature measurements, a critical overview is given on essential
noncovalent interactions in synthetic supramolecular complexes, accompanied by analyses …

New approaches to the transmembrane transport of anions are discussed in this review.
Advances in the design of small molecule anion carriers are reviewed in addition to …

In this report, we introduce synthetic anion transporters that operate with chalcogen bonds.
Electron-deficient dithieno [3, 2-b; 2′, 3′-d] thiophenes (DTTs) are identified as ideal to …

Over the last two decades, calix [4] pyrroles have attracted considerable attention as
molecular containers. Used in this capacity, they have been exploited as strong and …

Well-orchestrated noncovalent interactions are fundamental in chemical processes. 1 For
example, the assembly of complementary subunits to form functional aggregates is a …

In this Communication, we introduce transmembrane anion transport with pnictogen-
bonding compounds and compare their characteristics with chalcogen-and halogen …

Synthetic anion receptors are increasingly being explored for the transport of anions across
lipid membranes because of their potential therapeutic applications. A considerable amount …

Anion–π interactions, intuitively repulsive forces, turned from controversial to a well-
established non-covalent interaction over the past quarter of a century. Within this time frame …

An artificial channel molecule 1 that mimics the shape and function of the ClC channel
selective pore was described. To facilitate the transport of chloride along a unimolecular …
