Abstract: Single-atom exchange series are introduced to extract the individual contributions of halogen bonds and anion–π interactions to the transport of anions across lipid bilayer membranes (see picture). Known cation binding sites are used for counterion activation of the neutral calix[4]arene transporters. The experimental evidence for anion transport with halogen bonds is unprecedented.
