The anion recognition through hydrogen bonding by adamantane-dipyrromethane receptors

Anions play key roles in chemical and biological processes. Many anions act as nucleophiles, bases, redox agents or phase transfer catalysts, while most enzymes bind anions as either substrates or cofactors. Additionally, it is of great importance to detect anionic pollutants, such as phosphates and nitrates in ground and waste water. Consequently, it is highly desirable to obtain anion sensors which would be characterized by high binding constants and selectivity. This demand has fuelled research in the field of anion sensing during the last 20 years which has resulted in numerous publications which have been reviewed. The focus of the lecture will be on the synthesis and the binding studies of adamantane-dipyrromethane derivatives (AdD), as well as on investigation of their anion binding properties.
