Abstract
The anion binding features of diphenylpyrrole-strapped calix[4]pyrrole 1 have been investigated by means of 1 H NMR spectroscopy and ITC (isothermal titration calorimetry), as well as single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Receptor 1 bearing an auxiliary pyrrolic NH donor and solubilizing phenyl groups on the strap was found to bind F- , Cl- , and Br- as their tetrabutylammonium salts with high affinity in DMSO-d6 . In addition, receptor 1 was found to extract the fluoride anion (as both its tetraethylammonium (TEA+ ) and tetrabutylammonium (TBA+ ) salts), as well as the chloride anion into chloroform-d from an aqueous source phase. Cation metathesis using TBAI or the use of a dual host approach involving crown ethers enabled receptor 1 to extract simple alkali metal fluoride or chloride salts from water. Quantitative binding of NaF by receptor 1 was observed in 20 % D2 O-DMSO-d6 allowing for the direct determination of the NaF concentration in an unknown sample.

Abstract
Ensuring continuous and sustainable lithium supply requires the development of highly efficient separation processes such as LLE (liquid-liquid extraction) for both primary sources and certain waste streams. In this work, 4-phosphoryl pyrazolones are used in an efficient pH-controlled stepwise separation of Li+ from Ca2+ , Mg2+ , Na+ and K+ . The factors affecting LLE process, such as the substitution pattern of the extractant, diluent/water distribution, co-ligand, pH, and speciation of the metal complexes involved, were systematically investigated. The maximum extraction efficiency of Li+ at pH 6.0 was 94 % when Mg2+ and Ca2+ were previously separated at pH<5.0, proving that the separation of these ions is possible by simply modulating the pH of the aqueous phase. Our study points a way to separation of lithium from acid brine or from spent lithium ion battery leaching solutions, which supports the future supply of lithium in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable manner.

Abstract
Effective receptors for the separation of Li+ from a mixture with other alkali metal ions under mild conditions remains an important challenge that could benefit from new approaches. In this study, it is demonstrated that the 4-phosphoryl pyrazolones, HL2 -HL4 , in the presence of the typical industrial organophosphorus co-ligands tributylphosphine oxide (TBPO), tributylphosphate (TBP) and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO), are able to selectively recognise and extract lithium ions from aqueous solution. Structural investigations in solution as well as in the solid state reveal the existence of a series of multinuclear Li+ complexes that include dimers (TBPO, TBP) as well as rarely observed trimers (TOPO) and represent the first clear evidence for the synergistic role of the co-ligands in the extraction process. Our findings are supported by detailed NMR, MS and extraction studies. Liquid-liquid extraction in the presence of TOPO revealed an unprecedented high Li+ extraction efficiency (78 %) for HL4 compared to the use of the industrially employed acylpyrazolone HL1 (15 %) and benzoyl-1,1,1-trifluoroacetone (52 %) extractants. In addition, a high selectivity for Li+ over Na+ , K+ and Cs+ under mild conditions (pH ∼8.2) confirms that HL2 -HL4 represent a new class of ligands that are very effective extractants for use in lithium separation.

Abstract
Synthetic polymer membranes are enabling components in key technologies at the water-energy nexus, including desalination and energy conversion, because of their high water/salt selectivity or ionic conductivity. However, many applications at the water-energy nexus require ion selectivity, or separation of specific ionic species from other similar species. Here, the ion selectivity of conventional polymeric membrane materials is assessed and recent progress in enhancing selective transport via tailored free volume elements and ion-membrane interactions is described. In view of the limitations of polymeric membranes, three material classes-porous crystalline materials, 2D materials, and discrete biomimetic channels-are highlighted as possible candidates for ion-selective membranes owing to their molecular-level control over physical and chemical properties. Lastly, research directions and critical challenges for developing bioinspired membranes with molecular recognition are provided.

Abstract
The recovery of lithium from global water resources continues to be challenging due to interfering metal ions with similar solution properties. Hence, a lithium-selective diblock copolymer system containing crown ethers (CEs) is developed. A polystyrene-block-poly(methacrylic acid) diblock copolymer is synthesized first via a one-pot solution-emulsion reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. A subsequent Steglich esterification yields the CE functionalized polymer. The complexation properties with different alkali metals are first investigated by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) in dichloromethane (DCM) - water systems using free benzo-9-crown (B9C3), benzo-12-crown-4 (B12C4), and benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5) CEs as reference components, followed by the correspondingly CE-functionalized polymers. Extraction complexation constants in the aqueous phase are determined and the impact of the complexation constants on the extractability is estimated. The B9C3 CE is especially appealing since it has the smallest cavity size among all CEs. It is too small to complex sodium or potassium ions; however, it forms sandwich complexes with a lithium-ion resulting in extraordinary complexation constants in polymer systems avoiding other interfering alkali metal ions. On this basis, a new material for the efficient extraction of lithium ion traces in global water resources is established.

Abstract
Searching for membrane-active synthetic analogues that are structurally simple yet functionally comparable to natural channel proteins has been of central research interest in the past four decades, yet custom design of the ion transport selectivity still remains a grand challenge. Here we report on a suite of buckyball-based molecular balls (MBs), enabling transmembrane ion transport selectivity to be custom designable. The modularly tunable MBm-Cn (m = 4-7; n = 6-12) structures consist of a C60-fullerene core, flexible alkyl linkers Cn (i.e., C6 for n-C6H12 group), and peripherally aligned benzo-3m-crown-m ethers (i.e., m = 4 for benzo-12-crown-4) as ion-transporting units. Screening a matrix of 16 such MBs, combinatorially derived from four different crown units and four different Cn linkers, intriguingly revealed that their transport selectivity well resembles the intrinsic ion binding affinity of the respective benzo-crown units present, making custom design of the transport selectivity possible. Specifically, MB4s, containing benzo-12-crown-4 units, all are Li+-selective in transmembrane ion transport, with the most active MB4-C10 exhibiting an EC50(Li+) value of 0.13 μM (corresponding to 0.13 mol % of the lipid present) while excluding all other monovalent alkali-metal ions. Likewise, the most Na+ selective MB5-C8 and K+ selective MB6-C8 demonstrate high Na+/K+ and K+/Na+ selectivity values of 13.7 and 7.8, respectively. For selectivity to Rb+ and Cs+ ions, the most active MB7-C8 displays exceptionally high transport efficiencies, with an EC50(Rb+) value of 105 nM (0.11 mol %) and an EC50(Cs+) value of 77 nM (0.079 mol %).

Abstract
Fan-shaped molecules with aromatic head-groups and two or more flexible pendant chains often self-assemble into columns that form columnar liquid crystals by packing on a 2d lattice. Such dendrons or minidendrons are essential building blocks in a large number of synthetic self-assembled systems and organic device materials. Here we report a new type of phase transition that occurs between two hexagonal columnar phases, Colh1 and Colh2, of Na-salt of 3,4,5-tris-dodecyloxy benzoic acid. Interestingly, the transition does not change the symmetry, which is p6mm in both phases, but on heating it involves a quantised drop in the number of molecules n in the cross-section of a column. The drop is from 4 to 3.5, with a further continuous decrease toward n = 3 as temperature increases further above Tc. The finding is based on evidence from X-ray diffraction. Using a transfer matrix formulation for the interactions within a column, with small additional mean field terms, we describe quantitatively the observed changes in terms of intermolecular forces responsible for the formation of supramolecular columns. The driving force behind temperature-induced molecular ejection from the columns is the increase in conformational disorder and the consequent lateral expansion of the alkyl chains. The asymmetry of the transition is due to the local order between 4-molecule discs giving extra stability to purely n = 4 columns.
