Phosphate anions are one of the most important constituents of living systems. Together with
heterocyclic bases and sugars, phosphates make up DNA, the hereditary element of living …

The use of planar or tridimensional cyclic and acyclic Schiff bases, their polyamine
homologues and related derivatives, for the formation of mononuclear and especially …

According to one of Natures most fundamental laws, molecules may be differentiated by
having a positive, a negative, or no net charge at all. Although nothing may be known about …

This review article illustrates the contribution of amide based receptors to the development
of anion complexing agents. Amides are incorporated into a wide variety of systems that can …

In this tutorial review the wide-ranging use of metal ions in anion receptors is discussed with
an emphasis on diversity and applications in sensing and soft materials. Metal-containing …

This review covers the field of anion recognition from the perspective of tetrahedral oxyanion
recognition. The bulk of the attention is devoted to metal-free systems that are able to effect …

Hydrogen bonds influence secondary coordination spheres around metal ions in many
proteins. To duplicate these features of molecular architecture in synthetic systems, urea …

The design and synthesis of [1+ 1],[2+ 2],[3+ 3] or [3+ 2] macrocyclic or macrobicyclic Schiff
bases, the multiple self-condensation procedure between appropriate polyformyl-and …

This review deals with the examination of supramolecular architectures by mass
spectrometric methodology. Aspects of ion generation, structure determination …

Contrary to the simple expectations from Coulomb's law, Weinhold proposed that anions can
stabilize each other as metastable dimers, yet experimental evidence for these species and …
