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 …

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) …

In this minireview, squaramides are presented from their roots as artificial anion receptors in
molecular recognition studies to their recent advances as powerful bifunctional hydrogen …

This review covers recent advances in the use of the squaramide moiety in chemical
research. We focus on the varied applications of squaramides under the broad headings of …

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 …

Squaraine dyes, a four-membered ring system with structural rigidity, possess unique
photoelectrical properties and are marked by their exceptionally sharp and intense …

Over the last 15 years, squaramide-based receptors have attracted the attention of
supramolecular chemists working in the field of anion recognition. Herein, we highlight …

Supramolecular complexes offer a new and efficient way for the monitoring and removal of
many substances emanating from technical processes, fertilization, plant and animal …

Molecular recognition by artificial receptors has now expanded to a huge part of
supramolecular chemistry. A number of targets for selective binding have been dramatically …

Traditional optical probes primarily work on the concept of one‐to‐one recognition strategy.
Therefore, simultaneous detection of multiple anions is difficult using this kind of sensory …
