The design of structures to recognize ions is growing in recent years. Here, the simultaneous recognition of cations and anions by a macrocycle comprising a simple crown ether and an iodine-triazole unit has been investigated using DFT calculations.
Janusene is a [3,3]ortho-cyclophane that possesses four aromatic moieties of which two are held together in a quasi-parallel or in a cleft-shaped arrangement. The multiple coordination sites available in janusene...
Anions play several important functions in the biological processes. Thus, structures able to interact with anions are of great relevance. Here, light is shed on the main characteristics of the...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
