Porous organic cages (POCs) are a relatively new class of low-density crystalline materials
that have emerged as a versatile platform for investigating molecular recognition, gas …

The study of the complexation of anions, from its beginnings in the late 1960s and 1970s,(1-
3) has moved on from being an area solely of academic interest to a fundamental pillar of …

Phosphate anions are one of the most important constituents of living systems. Together with
heterocyclic bases and sugars, phosphates make up DNA, the hereditary element of living …

Anion recognition by synthetic receptors in water is not a new field, indeed the first receptors
that were shown to interact with anionic species exhibited high affinity in aqueous solutions …

One area of supramolecular chemistry involves the synthesis of discrete three‐dimensional
molecules or supramolecular aggregates through the coordination of metals. This field also …

This tutorial review focuses on some recent aspects in the development of synthetic
receptors for selective sulfate anion recognition and separation, with a special emphasis …

The pollution of groundwater with nitrate is a serious issue because nitrate can cause
several diseases such as methemoglobinemia or cancer. Therefore, selective removal of …

This critical review describes selected examples extracted from the extensive literature
generated during the past 42 years on the topic of anion binding in molecular capsules. The …

In contrast to organic cages which are formed by exploiting dynamic covalent chemistry,
such as boronic ester cages, imine cages, or disulfide cages, those with a fully …

Porous materials feature high specific surface areas, enhanced mass transfer efficiency, and
altered material–guest interactions, significantly impacting their functionality. Pore …
