Giacomo Picci, Riccardo Montis, Vito Lippolis, Claudia Caltagirone
Abstract
Over the last 15 years, squaramide-based receptors have attracted the attention of supramolecular chemists working in the field of anion recognition. Herein, we highlight examples of squaramide-based receptors that are able to bind, sense, extract and transport anions.
