Applications of Supramolecular Anion Recognition

TL;DR: A comprehensive review on the development and state of the art of colorimetric and fluorometric sensor arrays is presented and the various chemometric and statistical analyses of high-dimensional data are presented and critiqued in reference to their use in chemical sensing.

TL;DR: If suitably designed, supramolecular gels can be recyclable and environmentally benign, while the responsive and tunable nature of the self-assembled network offers significant advantages over other materials solutions to problems caused by pollution in an environmental setting.

TL;DR: A review summarizing the progress of supramolecular chemotherapy in cancer treatment based on host-guest recognition and guidance on the design of new targeting supramolescular chemotherapy combining diagnostic and therapeutic functions is presented.

TL;DR: The σ-hole and π-hole are the regions with positive surface electrostatic potential on the molecule entity; the former specifically refers to the positive region of a molecular entity along extension of the Y-Ge/P/Se/X covalent ρ-bond.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors illustrate progress over the past two decades on self-assembly in materials chemistry through research on systems where function is directly linked to noncovalent interactions among molecules.

TL;DR: Phenyl-1H-anthra[1,2-d]imidazole-6,11-dione and its derivatives have been investigated as new colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent chemosensors for fluoride and shows the best selectivity.

TL;DR: A strategy for inducing enantioselectivity in reactions of protio-iminium ions, wherein a chiral catalyst interacts with the highly reactive intermediate through a network of noncovalent interactions, which leads to an attenuation of the reactivity of the iminium ion and allows high enantioinduction in cycloadditions with electron-rich alkenes.

TL;DR: This review covers advances in anion complexation in the years 2011 and 2012 and highlights the applications to which anion receptors can be applied such as self-assembly and molecular architecture, sensing, catalysis and anion transport.
