FACTORS WITCH AFFECT ANION COMPLEXATION

1. Size match between anion and host cavity

2. Complementarity (topological and shape select ivity)

3. Anion and host charge and anion polarisabil ity

4. Solvent (polarity, hydrogen bonding and coord ination ability), anion

and host free energies of solvation

5. Anion basicity and host acidity

6. Other kinetic, enthalpic and entropic contri butions to the anion-host

interactions

Prevailing interactions which take place in a nion binding:

• hydrogen bonding

• ion-dipole and ion-ion interactions

• van der Waals interactions

Anions are relatively large and therefore req uire receptors of considerably

greater size than cations

Concepts in Anion Host Design

Hexacyclen cavity is partially filled with NH protons – it is

too small to include anions

Its 4H+ form binds halide and nitrate anions via hyd rogen

bonds with perching geometry

Anion basicity and host acidityMany anions exist in a relatively narrow pH window (anion basicity/acidity).

Some receptors (especially polyammonium salts) a re present in desired

oligoprotonated form at relatively low pH value s.
