Abstract
Anion templation strategies have facilitated the synthesis of various catenane and rotaxane hosts capable of strong and selective binding of anions in competitive solvents. However, this approach has primarily relied on positively charged precursors, limiting the structural diversity and the range of potential applications of the anion-templated mechanically interlocked molecules. Here we demonstrate the synthesis of a rare electroneutral [2]catenane using a powerful, doubly charged sulfate template and a complementary diamidocarbazole-based hydrogen bonding precursor. Owing to the unique three-dimensional hydrogen bonding cavity and the embedded carbazole fluorophores, the resulting catenane receptor functions as a sensitive fluorescent turn-ON sensor for the highly hydrophilic sulfate, even in the presence of a large excess of water. Importantly, the [2]catenane exhibits enhanced binding affinity and selectivity for sulfate over its parent macrocycle and other acyclic diamidocarbazole-based receptors. We demonstrate also, for the first time, that the co-conformation of the catenane may be controlled by reversible acid/base induced protonation and deprotonation of the anionic template, SO42-. This approach pioneers a new strategy to induce molecular motion of interlocked components using switchable anionic templates.

Abstract
Selective recognition and removal of sulfate and phosphates from aqueous media in the presence of highly competing anions is very demanding because of their biological and environmental implications. In this paper, we present the anion recognition approach for the selective and efficient extraction of sulfate by nitrophenyl-functionalized tris-urea receptors (L1-L2) from highly competitive aqueous media with an equivalent concentration of nitrate and other anions. Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide has been used for the first time as a phase transfer anionic extractant for sulfate-exchange from the aqueous phase to the organic phase (dichloromethane) containing a tris-urea receptor (L1-L3). The sulfate extraction efficacy of L2 (≈84-90%) was observed to be higher than those of L1 (≈76-82%) and L3 (≈68-75%) in competitive extraction experiments. In contrast, an analogous nitrophenyl-functionalized tris-thiourea receptor (L4) has been recognized for the selective and efficient extraction of phosphates from aqueous media in the presence of several competing anions including sulfate and nitrate, with ≈85-92% extraction efficiency. In this case, tetrabutylammonium acetate has been used as a phase transfer anionic extractant for phosphate exchange between the two immiscible phases. Due to the higher acidity of tris-thiourea -NH groups in comparison to the analogous tris-urea, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide could deprotonate a hydrogen bond donating -NH group of the thiourea receptor and phosphate extraction was observed to be inefficient in such a case. Several liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) experiments have been carried out to establish the selective removal of sulfate and phosphates by the tripodal receptors from competitive aqueous media having different combinations of two or more anions. The LLE products obtained from organic phases were characterized by NMR (1H, 13C, 31P, and 19F) spectroscopy to affirm the oxoanion selectivity of the receptors and purity of the complexes. The tripodal receptors can easily be recycled for successive extraction cycles by simply washing the LLE products (oxoanion complexes) with a methanol-water (1 : 1, v/v) solvent system followed by filtration.

Abstract
We report on the synthesis of a cage-type calix[4]pyrrole (1) bearing an additional basic pyridinebisthiazolamine group on the strap. The receptor in its protonated form shows strong affinity and selectivity for sulfate over a wide range of inorganic anions. With receptor 1 as a liquid-liquid extractant, H+/SO42- in the form of H2SO4 is almost quantitatively extracted from an aqueous solution containing HNO3 at a high concentration to CH2Cl2 in a recyclable manner.

Abstract
Based on the Lewis acid's coordination principle, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) chip strategy had been developed for the ultrasensitive quantitation of SO42-. Through the immobilization of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and the construction of the boric acid-based sensing unit, the chip system displayed outstanding merits on the direct sensing of SO42-, e.g., simple operation, ultra-high sensitivity, reproducibility, excellent selectivity and specificity. Moreover, an accurate evaluation was obtained by ratiometric calculations on characteristic peaks (1382 and 1070 cm-1) for quantitative detection of SO42-. The detection limit was down to 10 nM. Tap water, beer, and mineral water samples were tested, and high recoveries were achieved (97.12-110.12%). Besides, such SERS chip also displayed strong applicability for the evaluation of SO32-. Therefore, this SERS chip provided a promising idea for the quantification of trace amounts of SO42- and SO32- in the fields of food safety and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Work on the use of cyclic peptides or pseudopeptides as synthetic receptors started even before the field of supramolecular chemistry was firmly established. Research initially focused on the development of synthetic ionophores and involved the use of macrocycles with a repeating sequence of subunits along the ring to facilitate the correlation between structure, conformation, and binding properties. Later, nonnatural amino acids as building blocks were also considered. With growing research in this area, cyclopeptides and related macrocycles developed into an important and structurally diverse receptor family. This review provides an overview of these developments, starting from the early years. The presented systems are classified according to characteristic structural elements present along the ring. Wherever possible, structural aspects are correlated with binding properties to illustrate how natural or nonnatural amino acids affect binding properties.

Utilizing an Amino Acid Scaffold to Construct Heteroditopic Receptors Capable of Interacting with Salts under Interfacial Conditions. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms221910754.

Abstract
A 4-nitro-L-phenylalanine scaffold was used to construct effective ion pair receptors capable of binding anions in an enhanced manner with the assistance of alkali metal cations. A benzocrown ether was linked to a receptor platform via the amide function so as to support the squaramide function in anion binding and to allow all three NHs to act simultaneously. The binding properties of the receptors were determined using UV-vis, 1H NMR, 2D NMR, and DOSY spectroscopy in MeCN and in the solid state by X-ray measurements. Ion pair receptor 2 was found to interact with the most strongly with salts, and the removal of its key structural elements was shown to hinder the receptor action. The amide proton was recognized to switch from having involvement in an intramolecular hydrogen bond to interacting with anions upon complexation. Apart from carboxylates, which promote deprotonation, and other monovalent salts creating 1:1 complexes with the receptor, more complex equilibria were established upon the complexation of 2 with sulfates. Receptor 2 was shown to be capable of the extraction of ion pairs from the aqueous to organic phase and of the cation-enhanced transport chloride and sulfate anions across a bulk chloroform membrane. These features may open the door for its use in regulating ion concertation under interfacial conditions and acting as a potential drug to treat channelopathies.

Abstract
Four hydrogen bond-based macrocyclic and tripodal neutral receptors with increasing conformational complementarity with sulfate were used for the first time as ionophores to develop polymeric membrane sulfate-selective electrodes. Optimizing the membrane composition such as ionophores, lipophilic additives, and plasticizers yielded ISEs which showed Nernstian response to sulfate with the best selectivity so far and improved detection limits (a slope of -29.8 mV/dec in the linear range of 1 × 10-6-1 × 10-1 M with a detection limit of 5 × 10-7 M), which led to the success of the determination of sulfate in drinking water samples and neomycine tablets. The anion-ionophore complex constants in the membrane phase were determined and correlated with the selectivity sequence of the ISEs. Studies on the influence of pH of the sample solution demonstrated that the developed ISEs can be operated in a wide pH range of 3-8 with fast response and rapid (in 1 min) and long lifetime. The success of these ionophores represents a feasible strategy for overcoming the "Hofmeister series" by employing a combination of complementarity and hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
Selective extraction of sulfates in the form of alkali metal salts using charge-neutral molecular receptors is one of the holy grails of supramolecular chemistry. Herein we describe, for the first time, a squaramide-based ion pair receptor equipped with a crown ether site that is able to extract potassium sulfate from the aqueous to the organic phase (an analogous monotopic anion receptor lacking the crown ether unit lacks this ability). 1H NMR, UV-vis, DOSY-NMR, DLS, and MS experiments and the solid-state single crystal structure provided evidence of the formation of a supramolecular core-shell like assembly upon interaction of the receptor with potassium sulfate. The presence of monovalent potassium salts, in contrast, promoted the formation of simple 1 : 1 complexes. Unlike the 4 : 1 assembly, the 1 : 1 complexes are poorly soluble in organic media. This feature was utilized to overcome the Hofmeister bias and allow for selective extraction of extremely hydrophilic sulfates over lipophilic nitrate anions, which was unambiguously proved by quantitative AES and ion chromatography measurements. A simple modification of the receptor structure led to a "naked eye" optical sensor able to selectively detect sulfates under both SLE and LLE conditions.

Abstract
The combination of photo-switchable units with macrocycles is a very interesting field in supramolecular chemistry. Here, we present the synthesis of a foldable container consisting of two different types of Lissoclinum macrocyclic peptides which are connected via two azobenzene units. The container is controllable by light: irradiation with UV light causes a switching process to the compact cis,cis-isomer, whereas by the use of visible light the stretched trans,trans-isomer is formed. By means of quantum chemical calculations and CD spectroscopy we could show that the trans→cis isomerization is spatially directed; that means that one of the two different macrocycles performs a definite clockwise rotation to the other, caused by irradiation with UV light. For the cis→trans isomerization counterclockwise rotations are found. Furthermore, quantum chemical calculations reveal that the energy of the cis,cis-isomer is only slightly higher than the energy of the cis,trans-isomer. This effect can be explained by the high dispersion energy in the compact cis,cis-isomer.

Abstract
A linear, uncharged, hydrogen bonding receptor A with two carbazole-based binding domains was synthesised and evaluated for its anion binding properties in DMSO/H2O mixtures. 1H NMR titrations revealed that, in DMSO/H2O 0.5%, A forms both 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 complexes with SO42-, H2PO4-, PhCOO- and Cl-. In 1 : 1 complexes the receptor encloses the tetrahedral anions tightly, forming a helical structure, while Cl- binds with a single carbazole unit only. In the presence of 10% of water the 1 : 2 complexes with SO42- and PhCOO- disappear, and the respective 1 : 1 binding constants decrease sufficiently to be quantified by UV-Vis titration. In this highly competitive medium, A binds sulfate with K1:1 = 105.47 M-1, i.e., it binds approx. 30, 360 and >1000 times more strongly than H2PO4-, PhCOO- and Cl-, respectively. Furthermore, the association with sulfate is over 50 times stronger than that for a model diamidocarbazole 1 under identical conditions, suggesting a very strong chelating effect due to the diglycoyl linker. Increasing the amount of water to 25% (the solubility limit of A) lowers the 1 : 1 binding constant with SO42- to 103.73 M-1. Receptor A was shown to act as a selective turn-on fluorescent sensor for sulfate, able to sense sulfate in sulfate-rich mineral water.

Abstract
Phosphate oxoanions and phosphorylated biomolecules (such as nucleotides, lipids, and proteins) play key roles in a wide range of biological processes. The ability to selectively detect these ions in the presence of each other has numerous applications in biochemistry and biomedicine. However, receptors and sensors that can discriminate between polyphosphate species with high selectivity and in biologically relevant conditions are rare. In this Account, we show how peptides (both cyclic and linear) can be used to position two zinc(II)dipicolylamine [Zn(II)DPA] binding sites in an appropriate arrangement to provide selective binding of pyrophosphate (PPi) in the presence of other polyphosphate species, including ATP, and in complex media such as cell growth buffer. The use of peptide scaffolds to position the Zn(II)DPA anion binding sites allowed the synthesis of small receptor libraries in which the arrangement of the two binding sites could be subtly altered to evaluate the factors affecting both binding selectivity and affinity for PPi. We altered a number of structural elements including peptide length, cyclic peptide ring size, amino acid composition, the positioning of the binding sites with respect to one another, and the relative stereochemistry of the peptides. Backbone modified cyclic peptides based on the Lissoclinum class of natural products were initially employed to provide an added degree of preorganization to the receptors, although it was subsequently found that short, flexible bis[Zn(II)DPA]-functionalized linear peptides are also effective scaffolds for selective pyrophosphate recognition. The peptidic receptors were successfully employed for the detection of PPi in aqueous media by indicator displacement assays using both colorimetric and fluorescent indicators, with the best compounds able to bind to PPi selectively in both cell growth media and artificial urine and also allow the accurate determination of PPi concentrations in physiologically relevant ranges (micromolar concentrations) in these complex media. Improved pyrophosphate selectivity was observed upon increasing the complexity of the media from HEPES buffer to cell growth media (Krebs saline). Pyrophosphate sensors in which a fluorescent indicator was covalently attached to either a linear or cyclic peptide scaffold through a flexible linker were then constructed. When the Zn(II)DPA binding sites and the indicator were suitably placed with respect to one another on the peptide scaffold, these 'intramolecular indicator displacement assays' showed improved selectivity for PPi over other polyphosphate anions, such as ATP, when compared to the intermolecular indicator displacement assays. This observation provides the basis for the design and application of future PPi sensors in biochemistry and biomedicine.

Abstract
A number of macrocyclic squaramide-containing receptors (MSQs) have been designed and synthesised and their interaction with a range of inorganic anions was studied in solution by 1H NMR spectroscopy and ESI-HRMS. The binding data revealed remarkable binding of sulfate in aqueous mixtures from 0.5 to 50% v/v H2O/DMSO-d6. The larger [3]-MSQs were found to better match the size and shape of the sulfate ion than the [2]-MSQs, providing high affinity and selectivity for sulfate while other tetrahedral divalent anions such as selenate, phosphate species and chromate have substantially lower binding affinities. In mixtures of anions mimicking the composition of either nuclear waste or plasma, the [3]-MSQs were still able to bind sulfate ions with high affinity.

Abstract
Anion receptor 2b was designed and synthesized, which was structurally derived from a previously described bis(cyclopeptide) 2a comprising two covalently linked cyclic hexapeptide rings with alternating L-proline and 6-aminopicolinic acid subunits. Solubilizing groups attached to the aromatic cyclopeptide subunits of 2b cause a substantial improvement of water solubility with respect to 2a, but have negligible effects on anion binding properties. Thus, anion affinity of 2b could be evaluated in aqueous solvent mixtures in which 2a is not sufficiently soluble, namely in water–methanol with a water content of up to 95 vol%. The solvent-dependent characterization of anion binding showed that the logKa values of the iodide and sulfate complexes of 2b decrease linearly with increasing water content while the individual contributions of complexation enthalpy and entropy correlate with the solvent composition in a more complex manner. The obtained results provide insight into the factors that control anion affinity and selectivity of these neutral receptors in aqueous media. In addition, they show that substantial anion affinity can be expected even in 100% water.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of tripodal ligands 1-3 based upon the N-methyl-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamide platform appended with three aryl urea arms is reported. This ligand platform gives rise to highly preorganized structures and is ideally suited for binding SO4 (2-) and H2 PO4 (-) ions through multiple hydrogen-bonding interactions. The solid-state crystal structures of 1-3 with SO4 (2-) show the encapsulation of a single anion within a cage structure, whereas the crystal structure of 1 with H2 PO4 (-) showed that two anions are encapsulated. We further demonstrate that ligand 4, based on the same platform but consisting of two bis-urea moieties and a single ammonium moiety, also recognizes SO4 (2-) to form a self-assembled capsule with [4:4] SO4 (2-) :4 stoichiometry in which the anions are clustered within a cavity formed by the four ligands. This is the first example of a self-sorting self-assembled capsule where four tetrahedrally arranged SO4 (2-) ions are embedded within a hydrophobic cavity.

Abstract
The synthesis of six small peptide anion receptors based on thiourea and squaramide recognition moieties is described. These new receptors bind to tetrahedral sulfate anions with remarkable affinity and selectivity in aqueous solution as shown by NMR spectroscopy. Molecular modelling suggests that selectivity is mediated by a hydrogen bond network incorporating the amide backbone protons in a manner similar to that found in the sulfate-binding protein.

Abstract
The synthesis and photophysical properties of four squaramide based fluorescent anion sensors (1-4) are described. These luminescent compounds showed selectivity for Cl(-) over various other anions with concomitant changes in both their UV/visible and fluorescence properties upon Cl(-) addition, attributed to initial H-bonding followed by NH deprotonation in the presence of excess Cl(-), signaled by a color change. The nature of the electron withdrawing aryl substituents is directly related to the H-bonding ability/acidity of the squaramide protons and can be used to tune the deprotonation behavior.

Abstract
Naturally occurring azole-enriched cyclic peptides have broad biological and pharmacological activities. Previous synthetic efforts have mainly concentrated on the preparation of individual target molecules in solution phase. A solid-phase-based cyclitive cleavage strategy was deployed here for efficient library synthesis of azole cyclopeptide derivatives, which is part of our continuous efforts for the characterization of potent modulators of multidrug resistance efflux proteins. Procedures were optimized to afford the azole cyclopeptides at high yield and purity, eliminating the need for any chromatographic purification steps. This development is ideal for high throughput library synthesis and screening and will facilitate the ultimate discovery of novel azole cyclopeptides with potent biological activities.
