Anion binding studies of 1,10-phenanthroline- and 2-pyridyl-substituted urea-based receptors reveal that guest-dependent conformations exist in structural variants related to a previously investigated bipyridyl-based receptor. Dynamic conformational switching persists in a monofunctional pyridyl-urea receptor, and the preorganization provided by a phenanthroline-based analogue promotes convergence of anion coordinating groups to a single guest. Despite this predisposition for anion coordination, the conformational flexibility of the bipyridyl-based receptor provides the most selective motif for HPO coordination. Furthermore, the two new phenanthrolyl- and pyridyl-receptors serve as models of the bipyridyl-based receptor, elucidating accurate stepwise association constants for 1:2 host/guest binding by this receptor, and suggest that oxoanions prefer the embrace of a "" conformation in 1:1 complexes.

New phosphinoyl-containing tetradentate heterocycles preorganised for metal ion binding were designed and prepared in high yields. The X-ray structures of two allied phosphinoyl-bearing 2,2'-bipyridyl and phenanthroline ligands, as well as closely related structures of 2,6-bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)pyridine and 9-(diphenylphosphinoyl)-1,10-phenanthroline-2-one, are reported. Complexes of nitrates of several lanthanides and trifluoroacetate of Eu(iii) with two phosphinoyl-bearing 2,2'-bipyridyl and phenanthroline ligands were isolated and characterised.
