Selective lithium halide ion-pair sensing by a dynamic metalloporphyrin [2]rotaxane† A dynamic zinc(II) metalloporphyrin axle-containing [2]rotaxane with a heteroditopic macrocycle component is shown to selectively recognise and optically sense lithium halide (LiX) ion-pair species.

Halogen bonding BODIPY-appended pillar[5]arene for the optical sensing of dicarboxylates and a chemical warfare agent simulant† A pillar[5]arene host, functionalised with halogen bonding (XB) recognition sites and BODIPY fluorophores, demonstrates strong binding and optical sensing of environmentally relevant dicarboxylates and a chemical warfare agent simulant, in organic and competitive aqueous-organic media – enabled by the unprecedented combination of fluorophore-conjugated XB...

The ubiquity of charged species in biological and industrial processes has resulted in ever-increasing interest in their selective recognition, detection and environmental remediation. Building on the established coordination chemistry principles of the chelate and macrocyclic effects, and host preorganization, supramolecular chemists seek to construct specific three-dimensional binding cavities reminiscent of biotic systems to enhance host-guest binding affinity and selectivity.
