Selective binding of biologically important anions with synthetic receptors is important in designing new drugs and biocatalysts. Although, there are numerous synthetic hosts that are capable of binding common inorganic anions, examples of water soluble synthetic receptors for selective sensing of biologically important anions are still limited. This presentation will highlight dinuclear metal(II) complexes showing selective binding of a variety of biologically relevant anions in water under neutral conditions.
