A novel heteroditopic ion-pair receptor was synthesized by tethering two π-acidic naphthalenediimide units with a tridentate bisimine linker. Upon chelating a Zn or Cd ion with the linker, it adopts a U-conformation allowing the parallel NDI arms to sandwich charge-diffuse anions, and two such folded receptor molecules interlock with each other forming an [R3·M·R3·X] ion-pair complex. Extraction of the guest cation with a tetraazacrown ether returns the receptor to its original unfolded form.

A non-mulitmacrocyclic ion pair receptor with the ability to cooperatively bind lithium cations and halide anions is presented. These receptors feature a squaramide function for anion binding and are directly linked to a benzo-4-crown-12 unit to achieve selectivity toward lithium salts. Ion pair receptors and demonstrated stronger anion binding in the presence of cobound cations, while anion receptor lacks this property.

Halogen-bonding (XB) interactions have been extensively studied in the preparation of crystalline frameworks, yet porous 3D framework materials built on XBs remain elusive. The donor-acceptor interactions are strengthened by use of anionic XB acceptors; however, the requisite charge-balancing cations typically disrupt the framework and occupy potential void space. In this work, we prepare a tetratopic XB donor bearing a crown ether moiety for sodium cation sequestration.

We have synthesized a new ion pair receptor (2) consisting of a cone-calix[4]arene bearing a combination of ethyl esters and ethers as a cation binding site and a calix[4]pyrrole subunit acting as an anion binding site. Ion pair receptor 2 complexes LiCl, NaCl, and CsCl among alkali metal chloride salts with distinct complexation modes and affinities in 10 % methanol-d in chloroform-d. For instance, relatively small Li and Na cations are bound to the oxygen atoms of the functionalized calix[4]arene lower rim with Cl being hydrogen bonded to the calix[4]pyrrole NHs while the larger Cs cation is bound to the cone-shaped calix[4]pyrrole cavity via a π-cation interaction.

Neutron diffraction measurements with the Li/Li isotopic substitution method have been carried out to obtain direct structural information on the ion pair receptor, CHON, combined with LiCl ion pair in concentrated acetonitrile solutions. The difference interference term, Δ(), was derived from the difference between the total interference term observed for Li- and Li-enriched sample solutions. Structural parameters concerning the LiCl-receptor complex were determined by the least-squares fitting analysis of the observed Δ().

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly stable ubiquitous contaminants that have been recently added to the list of regulated chemicals. While methods for PFAS detection exist, analysis is difficult, involving a tedious protocol and expensive instrumentation. Here, we demonstrate the first implementation of a phenoxazine dye as a sensing probe that facilitates rapid and inexpensive detection of representative PFAS, e.
