AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focuses on self-assembled monolayers made up of new types of receptors that can selectively attract specific anions like perrhenate, iodide, and thiocyanate in water.
  • A unique sensing technique using impedance-derived capacitance spectroscopy allows for detecting these anions sensitively and selectively without requiring a redox probe.
  • This innovative electrochemical method suggests that it may be possible to detect a wide range of anions effectively.

Article Abstract

We describe self-assembled monolayers of novel halogen-bonding and hydrogen-bonding foldamer receptors capable of selectively recruiting perrhenate, iodide and thiocyanate in water. Unprecedented anion sensing via impedance-derived capacitance spectroscopy enables subsequent sensitive and selective anion detection without the need for a redox probe. Importantly, the sensing of any anion should be possible using this novel electrochemical approach.
