Halogen bonds (XBs) are noncovalent interactions where halogen atoms act as electrophilic
species interacting with Lewis bases. These interactions are relevant in biochemical …

A systematic study of chloride vs. nitrate selectivity across six anion transporters has
revealed a good correlation between the selectivities of their anion binding and membrane …

A comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation of the transmembrane chloride
transport promoted by four series of squaramide derivatives, with different degrees of …

Tris (3-aminopropyl) amine-based tripodal urea and thiourea receptors, tris ([(4-
cyanophenyl) amino] propyl) urea (L1) and tris ([(4-cyanophenyl) amino] propyl) thiourea …

Anion transport by synthetic carriers (anionophores) holds promise for medical applications,
especially the treatment of cystic fibrosis. Among the factors which determine carrier activity …

The recognition of anions by designed receptors has attracted much attention in recent days.
In particular, the selective binding of sulfate with artificial receptors is important because of …

Two tripodal squaramide conjugates having 4-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl and 3, 5-bis
(trifluoromethyl) phenyl substituents were synthesized and found to exhibit highly efficient …

Combining three features—the high affinity of squaramides toward anions, cooperation in
ion pair binding and preorganization of the binding domains in the tripodal platform—led to …

Six squaramido-functionalized bis (choloyl) conjugates were synthesized and fully
characterized on the basis of NMR (1H and 13C) and ESI MS (LR and HR) data. Their …

In this paper, we present the synthesis, anion recognition, and anionophoric activity of 1, 3, 5-
tris (aminomethyl)-2, 4, 6-triethylbenzene-based tripodal 3α-hydroxy-7α, 12α-diamino-5β …
