An Anion‐Modulated Three‐Way Supramolecular Switch that Selectively Binds Dihydrogen Phosphate, H2PO4−

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: An anionic three-way switch: A bipyridyl bis(urea)-based anion receptor that is highly selective for dihydrogen phosphate demonstrates spectroscopically distinct anion-bound conformations toward halides and select oxoanions. 1H NMR studies show the differing anion-induced conformations are reversible allowing this system to function as a three-way molecular switch.
