Anion recognition by novel ruthenium(II) bipyridyl calix[4]arene receptor molecules

Abstract
Exotic calix[4]arene mono- and di-topic anion receptors containing one and two ruthenium(II) bipyridyl moieties have been prepared and shown by 1H NMR and CV to bind and electrochemically recognise halide, dihydrogen phosphate and hydrogen sulphate anions. The monotopic calix[4]arene anion receptor 8 selectively electrochemically recognises H2PO4 in the presence of tenfold excess amounts of HSO4 and Cl.
