Anion binding with neutral receptor is important due to the critical role played by anions in chemistry and biology. During these studies, two naphthyl-based urea receptor have been synthesized, showing interactions for anion as investigated by UV-Vis and NMR studies Colorimetric studies of these receptors suggest that the new molecules are effective displaying visible color change for fluoride, bicarbonate and cyanide. This presentation will describe the synthesis and anion binding studies of these receptors.
