Abstract
Macrocyclization has proven to be a useful design strategy in the development of efficient anion receptors. In addition to the ring size, the overall preorganization due to structural rigidity is key. To explore this in the context of developing an efficient pyrophosphate receptor, three macrocycles featuring a 26-membered interior ring size and similar H-bonding motifs have been synthesized, and their anion binding ability has been investigated. Computational studies and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data showed different degrees of preorganization as a result of differences in flexibility. The interaction of the three macrocycles with chloride, dihydrogen phosphate, and dihydrogen pyrophosphate was investigated in solution by NMR and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray crystallography. The tetrahydrazone-based macrocycle featuring intermediate flexibility exhibited the best affinity for all three anions investigated. Our results suggest that in addition to the proper preorganization of binding groups in a macrocycle a certain degree of flexibility is also required for an optimal affinity with the target guest.

Abstract
After more than 70 years since their discovery, Criegee intermediates (CIs) are back at the forefront of modern chemistry of short-lived reactive intermediates. They play an important role in the mechanistic context of chemical synthesis, total synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and, most importantly, climate-controlling aerosol formation as well as atmospheric chemistry. This Minireview summarizes key aspects of CIs (from the mechanism of formation, for example, by ozonolysis of alkenes and photolysis methods employing diiodo and diazo compounds, to their electronic structures and chemical reactivity), highlights the most recent findings and some landmark results of gas-phase kinetics, and detection/measurements. The recent progress in synthetic and mechanistic studies in the chemistry of CIs provides a guide to illustrate the possibilities for further investigations in this exciting field.
