Article Synopsis
- Anion recognition in water is a complex challenge due to competing water molecules, but a new macrocycle has been developed that utilizes multipoint hydrogen bonding.
- The synthesized -methylpyridinium amide β-cyclodextrin derivative selectively encapsulates monophosphate anions while avoiding interactions with other anion types, showcasing its selectivity.
- Experimentation revealed that different monophosphate substituents interact uniquely with the macrocycle, with distinct mechanisms of inclusion driven by factors such as configurational entropy and hydrophobic effects.
