Eutrophication of water bodies is a serious and widespread environmental problem.
Achieving low levels of phosphate concentration to prevent eutrophication is one of the …

The study of the complexation of anions, from its beginnings in the late 1960s and 1970s,(1-
3) has moved on from being an area solely of academic interest to a fundamental pillar of …

Calixarenes (CAs), representing the third generation of supramolecular hosts and one of the
most widely studied macrocyclic scaffolds, offer (almost) unlimited structure and application …

Abstract Structure‐based ligand design in medicinal chemistry and crop protection relies on
the identification and quantification of weak noncovalent interactions and understanding the …

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 …

Cyclodextrin (CD) history has been largely dominated by their unique ability to form
inclusion complexes with guests fitting in their hydrophobic cavity. Chemical funcionalization …

This critical review covers progress with synthetic transport systems, particularly ion
channels and pores, between January 2006 and December 2009 in a comprehensive …

Fluoride anion recognition is attracting a mounting interest in the scientific community due to
its duplicitous nature. It is a useful chemical for many industrial applications, and it has been …

The design of supramolecular hosts for anions began with simple diaza bicycles, named
katapinands, and has evolved over the last 40 years to a number of elegantly designed …

Continuum electrostatics models for ions in water provide apparent long range electrostatic
explanations for the forces on ions. However the electro-chemical free energy of solvation of …
