Abstract

<UFIGR ID="ol051497qn00001">A new family of [3]polynorbornane frameworks exhibiting conformationally preorganized aromatic thiourea (cleft-like) receptors have been designed and synthesized for anion recognition. These show excellent affinity for the biologically relevant dihydrogenphosphate (H<INF>2</INF>PO<INF>4</INF><SUP>-</SUP>) and dihydrogenpyrophosphate (H<INF>2</INF>P<INF>2</INF>O<INF>7</INF><SUP>2</SUP><SUP>-</SUP>) anions (among others), which are bound in 1:1 and 2:1 (host:anion) ratio, respectively. Moreover, visually striking color changes accompany guest binding, enabling this family to act as colorimetric anion sensors.
