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 …

Anion recognition chemistry has grown from its beginnings in the late 1960s with positively
charged ammonium cryptand receptors for halide binding to, at the end of the millennium, a …

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 …

Anions play essential rôles in biological processes; indeed, it is believed that they
participate in 70% of all enzymatic reactions. 1 There is, therefore, intense effort being …

Indicator displacement assays (IDAs) are now a popular method for converting most any
synthetic receptor into an optical sensor. In this review many such assays are highlighted …

This review traces the emergence of pyrrole-based receptors for anion recognition. It
outlines how serendipitous findings that the diprotonated form of sapphyrin, a pentapyrrolic …

Woodward and his colleagues1, 2 were the first to report the probable existence of an
expanded porphyrin, a pentapyrrolic sapphyrin (1), and but for the beautiful blue crystals that …

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 …
