Anion receptor chemistry: highlights from 2008 and 2009

Abstract

This critical review covers advances in anion complexation in the year 2008 and 2009. The review discusses anion receptors that employ hydrogen bond donors (both NH and CH), electrostatic interactions, Lewis acidic centres and combinations of these three types of binding interaction to complex anions. Additionally nanotechnological approaches to anion sensing in aqueous solution, lipid bilayer transporters and recent work on the use of anions to drive conformational change are highlighted (130 references).
