Abstract
Therapeutic applications have sparked increased interest in the use of synthetic anion receptors for ion transport across lipid membranes. In this context, the construction of synthetic transmembrane transporters for the physiologically important chloride ion is currently of enormous interest. As a result, considerable effort is being devoted to the design and synthesis of artificial transmembrane chloride ion transporters. However, only inadequate progress has been made in developing macrocyclic chloride ion transporters using the fundamental principles of supramolecular chemistry, and hence this field entails fostering investigations. In this investigation, the synthesis of two new double walled trifluorophenyl/phthalimide extended calix[4]pyrrole (C4P) receptors (3 and 7) has been successfully reported. 1H-NMR titration and HRMS studies confirmed the 1 : 1 binding stoichiometry of the chloride ion with these receptors in the solution phase (only receptor 3b was studied by 1H-NMR). Regarding ion transport of 3b and 7, when studied in the HPTS-based vesicular system, 3b showed better activity with an EC50 value of 0.39 μM. The detailed ion transport studies on 3b have revealed that ion transport occurs through the Cl-/NO3- antiport mode.

Abstract
Herein, we report two distinct octaphyrins obtained by the condensation of new dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]pyrrole based tetrapyrrane under two different acidic conditions. Fourfold meso-substituted octaphyrin was the major product when the reaction was performed in the presence of an aryl aldehyde using trifluoroacetic acid. Whereas, the sixfold meso-substituted octaphyrin was obtained when the precursor was condensed with pentafluorobenzaldehyde using para-toluenesulfonic acid. Such a template effect of aryl aldehydes in oxidative coupling reactions is realized for the first time in literature. Experimental and theoretical studies suggested that the oxidized form of fourfold meso-substituted octaphyrin is 32π antiaromatic and undergoes proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) to the protonated form of 34π aromatic congener upon treatment with protic acids. Furthermore, small organic molecules such as alcohols and amines were also found to promote chemical reduction. Single crystal X-ray structure revealed that the aromatic counterpart is highly planar and stabilized by several intermolecular H-bonding and F-F interactions, leading to a large 3D supramolecular arrangement and exhibited colorimetric sensing for fluoride and hydroxide anions. On the other hand, sixfold meso-substituted octaphyrin did not show (anti)aromatic features, PCET or anion sensing, but its intriguing absorption features associated with protonation could make it an ideal candidate for pH-dependent bioimaging.

Abstract
Motivated by the discovery of main group Lewis acids that could compete or possibly outperform the ubiquitous organoboranes, several groups, including ours, have engaged in the chemistry of Lewis acidic organoantimony compounds as new platforms for anion capture, sensing, and transport. Principal to this approach are the intrinsically elevated Lewis acidic properties of antimony, which greatly favor the addition of halide anions to this group 15 element. The introduction of organic substituents to the antimony center and its oxidation from the + III to the + V state provide for tunable Lewis acidity and a breadth of applications in supramolecular chemistry and catalysis. The performances of these antimony-based Lewis acids in the domain of anion sensing in aqueous media illustrate the favorable attributes of antimony as a central element. At the same time, recent advances in anion binding catalysis and anion transport across phospholipid membranes speak to the numerous opportunities that lie ahead in the chemistry of these unique main group compounds.

Abstract
Synthetic anion receptors are increasingly being explored for the transport of anions across lipid membranes because of their potential therapeutic applications. A considerable amount of research focuses on the transport of chloride, whereas the transmembrane transport of inorganic phosphate has not been reported to date, despite the biological relevance of this anion. Here we present a calix[4]pyrrole with a bisurea strap that functions as a receptor and transporter for H2PO4-, relying on the formation of eight hydrogen bonds and efficient encapsulation of the anion. Using a phosphate-sensitive lanthanide probe and 31P NMR spectroscopy, we demonstrate that this receptor can transport phosphate into vesicles by H2PO4-/Cl- antiport, H2PO4- uniport, and Cs+/H2PO4- symport mechanisms. This first example of inorganic phosphate transport by a neutral receptor opens perspectives for the future development of transporters for various biological phosphates.

Abstract
Fluoride is routinely used as a highly effective antibacterial agent that interferes with bacterial metabolism through fundamentally different mechanisms. One of the major bacterial evasion mechanisms against fluoride is the impermeability of cell envelope to the anion that limits its cellular uptake. Therefore, translating such compounds to clinical settings requires novel mechanisms to facilitate the uptake of membrane-impermeant molecules. Published data have indicated antibiotic synergy between fluoride and membrane destabilizing agents that induce strong fluoride toxicity in bacteria via enhancing the permeability of bacterial membranes to fluoride. Here, we report a similar mechanism of antibiotic synergy between fluoride and potassium ion carriers, valinomycin and monensin against Gram-positive bacteria, B. subtilis and S. aureus. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to understand the effect of potassium on the binding affinity of fluoride to monensin and valinomycin. The trajectory results strongly indicated that the monensin molecules transport fluoride ions across the cell membrane via formation of ion-pair between the monensin-K+ complex and a fluoride. This study provides new insights to design novel compounds to enhance the uptake of small toxic anions via synergistic interactions and thus exert strong antibacterial activity against a wide variety of pathogens.

Abstract
Here we present a new method to monitor fluoride transmembrane transport into liposomes using a europium(III) complex. We take advantage of the long emission lifetime of this probe to measure the transport activity of a fluorescent transporter. The high sensitivity, selectivity, and versatility of the assay allowed us to study different types of fluoride transporters and unravel their mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Synthetic anion transporters show potential in treating life-threatening diseases like cystic fibrosis and cancer. However, with increasingly complex transporter architectures designed to control anion binding and transport, it is important to consider solubility and deliverability during transporter design. The fluorination of synthetic anion transporters has been shown to tune the transporter lipophilicity, transport rates, and binding strength. In this work, we expand on our previously reported tetrapodal (thio)urea transporters with a series of fluorinated tetrapodal anion transporters. The effects of fluorination on tuning the lipophilicity, solubility, deliverability, and anion transport selectivity of the tetrapodal scaffold were investigated using anion-binding and transport assays. The primary mode of anion transport was H+/X- cotransport, with the most fluorinated tetrathiourea (8) displaying the highest transport activity in the 8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid (HPTS) assay. Intriguingly, inversion of the transmembrane Cl- vs NO3 - transport selectivity compared with previously reported tripodal (thio)urea transporters was observed under a modified HPTS assay.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, non-covalent chemistry has introduced various promising artificial receptors and revolutionized the host-guest chemistry. These versatile receptors have particularly been entertained in sensing and recognizing of diverse neutral molecules and/or ionic entities (e. g. anions, cations and ion-pair) of particular interest. Notably, supramolecular chemistry had given birth to a plethora of important molecules, explored in the chemical, biological, environmental, and pharmacological world to resolve the critical issues related to the human health while keeping environmental concerns in mind. Amongst the various types of supramolecular monotopic receptors (anions, cations, and neutral molecules), heteroditopic receptors (ion-pair receptors) consisting of distinct binding sites in one system for both cation and anion, have gained much interest from the scientific community in recent past because of their unique binding abilities. Interestingly, these promising artificial receptors have shown potential applications in sensing, recognition, transport and extraction processes besides their uses in salt/waste purification. Bearing the importance of these systems in mind, we intended to report the recent developments in ion-pair chemistry. Herein, we divided the whole document into three main sections; first one describes the introduction and history of the ion-pairs receptors. The second portion highlights the synthesis and applications of ion-pair receptors in sensing, recognition, molecular machines, photoswitching behaviour, extraction and transport properties, whereas the last part of this manuscript provides concluding remarks as well as future prospects of ion-pair receptors. We hope that this manuscript will be helpful to stimulating researchers around the globe to find out the hidden opportunities in this and related areas.

Abstract
A quinoxaline-fused octaphyrin(2.0.0.0.2.0.0.0) was synthesized by the FeCl3-induced oxidative coupling of an α-free quinoxaline-fused tetrapyrrole. This macrocycle adopts a figure-of-eight conformation in the solid state and acts as a rudimentary chemosensor in solution. The Lewis basic anions fluoride and hydroxide induce a colour change via a deprotonation mechanism.

Abstract
The field of anion recognition chemistry is dominated by two fundamental approaches to design receptors. One relies on the formation of covalent bonds resulting in organic and often neutral host species, while the other one utilizes metal-driven self-assembly for the formation of charged receptors with well-defined nanocavities. Yet, the combination of their individual advantages in the form of charge-neutral metal-assembled bench-stable anion receptors is severely lacking. Herein, we present a fluorescent and uncharged double-stranded hydroxyquinoline-based zinc(II) helicate with the ability to bind environmentally relevant dicarboxylate anions with high fidelity in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at nanomolar concentrations. These dianions are pinned between zinc(II) centers with binding constants up to 145 000 000 M-1. The presented investigation exemplifies a pathway to bridge the two design approaches and combine their strength in one structural motif as an efficient anion receptor.

Abstract
Artificial ion channels with ion permeability and selectivity comparable to their biological counterparts are highly desired for efficient separation, biosensing, and energy conversion technologies. In the past two decades, both nanoscale and sub-nanoscale ion channels have been successfully fabricated to mimic biological ion channels. Although nanoscale ion channels have achieved intelligent gating and rectification properties, they cannot realize high ion selectivity, especially single-ion selectivity. Artificial angstrom-sized ion channels with narrow pore sizes <1 nm and well-defined pore structures mimicking biological channels have accomplished high ion conductivity and single-ion selectivity. This review comprehensively summarizes the research progress in the rational design and synthesis of artificial subnanometer-sized ion channels with zero-dimensional to three-dimensional pore structures. Then we discuss cation/anion, mono-/di-valent cation, mono-/di-valent anion, and single-ion selectivities of the synthetic ion channels and highlight their potential applications in high-efficiency ion separation, energy conversion, and biological therapeutics. The gaps of single-ion selectivity between artificial and natural channels and the connections between ion selectivity and permeability of synthetic ion channels are covered. Finally, the challenges that need to be addressed in this research field and the perspective of angstrom-scale ion channels are discussed.

Abstract
Membrane transport proteins fulfill important regulatory functions in biology with a common trait being their ability to respond to stimuli in the environment. Various small-molecule receptors, capable of mediating transmembrane transport, have been successfully developed. However, to confer stimuli-responsiveness on them poses a fundamental challenge. Here we demonstrate photocontrol of transmembrane transport and electric potential using bis(thio)ureas derived from stiff-stilbene. UV-vis and 1H NMR spectroscopy are used to monitor E-Z photoisomerization of these bis(thio)ureas and 1H NMR titrations reveal stronger binding of chloride to the (Z)-form than to the (E)-form. Additional insight into the binding properties is provided by single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis and DFT geometry optimization. Importantly, the (Z)-isomers are much more active in transmembrane transport than the respective (E)-isomers as shown through various assays. As a result, both membrane transport and depolarization can be modulated upon irradiation, opening up new prospects toward light-based therapeutics as well as physiological and optopharmacological tools for studying anion transport-associated diseases and to stimulate neuronal activity, respectively.

Abstract
We describe the synthesis of [o-Ph2P(O)(C6H4)SbPh3]+ ([2]+), an intramolecularly base-stabilized stibonium Lewis acid which was obtained by reaction of [o-Ph2P(C6H4)SbPh3]+ with NOBF4. This cation reacts with fluoride anions to afford the corresponding fluorostiborane o-Ph2P(O)(C6H4)SbFPh3, the structure of which indicates a strengthening of the PO → Sb interaction. When deployed in fluoride-containing POPC unilamellar vesicles, [2]+ behaves as a potent fluoride anion transporter whose activity greatly exceeds that of [Ph4Sb]+.

Abstract
Artificial receptors able to recognise biologically relevant molecules or ions have gained interest in the chemical community because they offer a plethora of posibilities. Molecular cage compounds are polycyclic compounds with a cavity designed for the encapsulation of guest species. Once inside the host cavity, the substrate can be transported through membranes and protected from the action of enzymes or other reactive species, thus offering the possibility of interfering with biological systems. Commonly, enzymes have been an inspiration for chemists in the search and design of defined cavities for different purposes. However, the chemical preparation of molecular cages has struggled with many synthetic challenges but this effort is worthwhile as they are a very promising tool for many applications ranging from sensing, delivery, purification or even promotion of/prevention from chemical modifications. Since the early reports at the end of the 60s, this field has experienced a growing interest; this review summarises the progress in the preparation and study of cage-like compounds highlighting their importance in biological applications.

Abstract
Synthesizing nanopores which mimic the functionality of ion-selective biological channels has been a challenging yet promising approach to advance technologies for precise ion-ion separations. Inspired by the facilitated fluoride (F-) permeation in the biological fluoride channel, we designed a highly fluoride-selective TiO2 film using the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. The subnanometer voids within the fabricated TiO2 film (4 Å < d < 12 Å, with two distinct peaks at 5.5 and 6.5 Å), created by the hindered diffusion of ALD precursors (d = 7 Å), resulted in more than eight times faster permeation of sodium fluoride compared to other sodium halides. We show that the specific Ti-F interactions compensate for the energy penalty of F- dehydration during the partitioning of F- ions into the pore and allow for an intrapore accumulation of F- ions. Concomitantly, the accumulation of F- ions on the pore walls also enhances the transport of sodium (Na+) cations due to electrostatic interactions. Molecular dynamics simulations probing the ion concentration and mobility within the TiO2 pore further support our proposed mechanisms for the selective F- transport and enhanced Na+ permeation in the TiO2 film. Overall, our work provides insights toward the design of ion-selective nanopores using the ALD technique.

Abstract
Ion pair receptors based on meso-octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole (CP) have been extensively investigated over recent years. However, the nature of their ion pair recognition has barely been reported, even for CP itself. Herein, cesium chloride was used as a guest ion pair to investigate the dynamic process of ion pair recognition by CP, and the "capture-bind" mechanism for this process is proposed for the first time. The results reveal that Cs+ can be first captured by Cl- at long distances, and then it is bound to the cavity through almost equal contributions of Cl- and CP. Although the effective charge of Cl- is obviously reduced by charge-transfer, the electrostatic interactions between Cl- and Cs+ are still strong even at long distances in the presence of CP.

Abstract
Anion transmembrane nanochannels constructed from dynamic covalent helices (DCHs) are reported. The dynamic covalent structures can be synthesized by one-pot dynamic covalent reactions and helically self-fold into nanotubes through intramolecular hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions. Such helical structures can vertically self-assemble into long nanofibers under π-π stacking and their hollow nanocavities finally form ion permeation pathways across the lipid membranes. Single-channel electrophysiology signals provide solid evidence of DCHs following the channel rather than the carrier mechanism. Owing to the pore-forming capacity of DCHs, nanochannels are able to accelerate the movement of anions across lipid membranes with high transport activity (EC50 =0.08 mol %). Moreover, DCH channels show dehydration energy dependent anion selectivity. This report highlights the importance of such DCHs as general channel scaffolds with economical synthesis and special nanocavities.

Abstract
We report here a novel class of cation transporters with extreme simplicity, opening a whole new dimension of scientific research for finding small molecule-based cation transporters for therapeutic applications. Comprising three modular components (a headgroup, a flexible alkyl chain-derived body, and a crown ether-derived foot for ion binding), these transporters efficiently (EC50 = 0.18-0.41 mol % relative to lipid) and selectively (K+/Na+ selectivity = 7.0-9.5) move K+ ions across the membrane. Importantly, the most active (EC50 = 0.18-0.22 mol %) and highly selective series of transporters A12, B12, and C12 concurrently possess potent anticancer activities with IC50 values as low as 4.35 ± 0.91 and 6.00 ± 0.13 μM toward HeLa and PC3 cells, respectively. Notably, a mere replacement of the 18-crown-6 unit in the structure with 12-crown-4 or 15-crown-5 units completely annihilates the cation-transporting ability.

Abstract
Diverse classes of anion transporters have been developed, most of which focus on the transmembrane chloride transport due to its significance in living systems. Fluoride transport has, to some extent, been overlooked despite the importance of fluoride channels in bacterial survival. Here, we report the design and synthesis of a cyclic azapeptide (a peptide-based N-amidothiourea, 1), as a transporter for fluoride transportation through a confined cavity that encapsulates fluoride, together with acyclic control compounds, the analogs 2 and 3. Cyclic receptor 1 exhibits more stable β-turn structures than the control compounds 2 and 3 and affords a confined cavity containing multiple inner –NH protons that serve as hydrogen bond donors to bind anions. It is noteworthy that the cyclic receptor 1 shows the capacity to selectively transport fluoride across a lipid bilayer on the basis of the osmotic and fluoride ion-selective electrode (ISE) assays, during which an electrogenic anion transport mechanism is found operative, whereas no transmembrane transport activity was found with 2 and 3, despite the fact that 2 and 3 are also able to bind fluoride via the thiourea moieties. These results demonstrate that the encapsulation of an anionic guest within a cyclic host compound is key to enhancing the anion transport activity and selectivity.

Abstract
Microorganisms contend with numerous and unusual chemical threats and have evolved a catalog of resistance mechanisms in response. One particularly ancient, pernicious threat is posed by fluoride ion (F-), a common xenobiotic in natural environments that causes broad-spectrum harm to metabolic pathways. This review focuses on advances in the last ten years toward understanding the microbial response to cytoplasmic accumulation of F-, with a special emphasis on the structure and mechanisms of the proteins that microbes use to export fluoride: the CLCF family of F-/H+ antiporters and the Fluc/FEX family of F- channels.

Abstract
![]()
Hydrogen-bonding
interactions have been explored in catalysis,
enabling complex chemical reactions. Recently, enantioselective nucleophilic
fluorination with metal alkali fluoride has been accomplished with
BINAM-derived bisurea catalysts, presenting up to four NH hydrogen-bond
donors (HBDs) for fluoride. These catalysts bring insoluble CsF and
KF into solution, control fluoride nucleophilicity, and provide a
chiral microenvironment for enantioselective fluoride delivery to
the electrophile. These attributes encouraged a 1H/19F NMR study to gain information on hydrogen-bonding networks
with fluoride in solution, as well as how these arrangements impact
the efficiency of catalytic nucleophilic fluorination. Herein, NMR
experiments enabled the determination of the number and magnitude
of HB contacts to fluoride for thirteen bisurea catalysts. These data
supplemented by diagnostic coupling constants 1hJNH···F– give
insight into how multiple H bonds to fluoride influence reaction performance.
In dichloromethane (DCM-d2), nonalkylated
BINAM-derived bisurea catalyst engages two of its four NH groups in
hydrogen bonding with fluoride, an arrangement that allows effective
phase-transfer capability but low control over enantioselectivity
for fluoride delivery. The more efficient N-alkylated BINAM-derived
bisurea catalysts undergo urea isomerization upon fluoride binding
and form dynamically rigid trifurcated hydrogen-bonded fluoride complexes
that are structurally similar to their conformation in the solid state.
Insight into how the countercation influences fluoride complexation
is provided based on NMR data characterizing the species formed in
DCM-d2 when reacting a bisurea catalyst
with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride (TBAF) or CsF.
Structure–activity analysis reveals that the three hydrogen-bond
contacts with fluoride are not equal in terms of their contribution
to catalyst efficacy, suggesting that tuning individual electronic
environment is a viable approach to control phase-transfer ability
and enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Synthetic anion transporters that facilitate chloride transport are promising candidates for channelopathy treatments. However, most anion transporters exhibit an undesired side effect of facilitating proton transport via interacting with fatty acids present in the membrane. To address the limitation, we here report the use of a new tetrapodal scaffold to maximize the selective interaction with spherical chloride over binding the carboxylate headgroup of fatty acids. One of the new transporters demonstrated a high selectivity for chloride uniport over fatty acid-induced proton transport while being >10 times more active in chloride uniport than strapped calixpyrroles that were previously the only class of compounds known to possess similar selectivity properties.

Abstract
An effective method is reported to synthesize aromatic helical polymer nanochannels by combining both the well-studied aromatic amide helical codons with pyridine-oxadiazole helical codons into helical structure sequences. With this strategy, a type of helical polymer nanochannel that shows structure-directed transmembrane transport functions is synthesized. Although such nanochannels show relatively weak selectivity for the transportation of alkali metal ions, accessible chemical mutation of helical structure sequences will provide a great chance for the design of desired channel property. The straightforward preparation of well-established pyridine-oxadiazole helical structure will significantly promote the synthesis of this kind of aromatic helical polymer nanochannels. With the development of aromatic amide foldamers, moreover, a number of "monomers" will be available for the preparation of helical polymer nanochannels.

Abstract
One of the most widely used approaches to characterize transmembrane ion transport through nanoscale synthetic or biological channels is a straightforward, liposome-based assay that monitors changes in ionic flux across the vesicle membrane using pH- or ion-sensitive dyes. However, failure to account for the precise experimental conditions, in particular the complete ionic composition on either side of the membrane and the inherent permeability of ions through the lipid bilayer itself, can prevent quantifications and lead to fundamentally incorrect conclusions. Here we present a quantitative model for this assay based on the Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz flux theory, which enables accurate measurements and identification of optimal conditions for the determination of ion channel permeability and selectivity. Based on our model, the detection sensitivity of channel permeability is improved by two orders of magnitude over the commonly used experimental conditions. Further, rather than obtaining qualitative preferences of ion selectivity as is typical, we determine quantitative values of these parameters under rigorously controlled conditions even when the experimental results would otherwise imply (without our model) incorrect behavior. We anticipate that this simply employed ultrasensitive assay will find wide application in the quantitative characterization of synthetic or biological ion channels.

Abstract
Cu(I)/(II) complex redox couples in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) are of particular interest because of their low reorganization energy between Cu(I) and Cu(II), which minimizes the potential loss during sensitizer regeneration, thus allowing the open-circuit voltage of the device to go over 1.0 V. However, Cu(I)/(II)-based redox couples are reported to coordinate with 4-tert-butylpyridine (TBP), which is a standard additive in the electrolyte, and this is believed to account for the poor durability of a Cu(I)/(II)-based DSSCs. Despite TBP coordination on Cu(I)/(II) complexes are confirmed in the literature, its detailed mechanism is yet to be directly proven. In addition, how TBP coordination with Cu(I)/(II) complexes affects the stability of the device is never reported. Here, we choose bis(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) copper(I)/(II) ([Cu(dmp)22+/+]) as the modeling redox couple to investigate its interaction with TBP. It is found that [Cu(dmp)2+] is resistive to TBP coordination but could form three new TBP-coordinated compounds. Moreover, it is also confirmed their electrochemical activity on Pt catalyst and mass transfer capability are both demoted significantly. As a result, serious fill factor loss is observed on the stability trail while short-circuit current density and open-circuit voltage are relatively unaffected. This unique degradation pattern may resemble a feature of Cu(I)/(II)-based redox couple after TBP poisoning.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry is a central topic in modern chemistry. It touches on many traditional disciplines, such as organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, materials chemistry, environmental chemistry, and biological chemistry. Supramolecular hosts, inter alia macrocyclic hosts, play critical roles in supramolecular chemistry. Calix[4]pyrroles, non-aromatic tetrapyrrolic macrocycles defined by sp3 hybridized meso bridges, have proved to be versatile receptors for neutral species, anions, and cations, as well as ion pairs. Compared to the parent system, octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole and its derivatives bearing simple appended functionalities, strapped calix[4]pyrroles typically display enhanced binding affinities and selectivities. In this review, we summarize advances in the design and synthesis of strapped calix[4]pyrroles, as well as their broad utility in molecular recognition, supramolecular extraction, separation technology, ion transport, and as agents capable of inhibiting cancer cell proliferation. Future challenges within this sub-field are also discussed.

Abstract
The binding affinity between antibiotic ionophores and alkali ions within supported lipid bilayers was evaluated using affinity chromatography. We used zonal elution and frontal analysis methods in nanovolume liquid chromatography to characterize the binding selectivity of the carrier and channel ionophores valinomycin and gramicidin A within different phosphatidylcholine bilayers. Distinct binding sensitivity to the lipid phase, both in affinity and selectivity, is observed for valinomycin, whereas gramicidin is less sensitive to changes in a membrane environment, behavior that is consistent with ion binding occurring within the interior of an established channel. There is good agreement between the chromatographic retention and the reported binding selectivity measured by other techniques. Surface potential near the binding site affects ion retention and the apparent association binding constants, but not the binding selectivity or enthalpy measurements. A model accounting for the surface potential contributions of retained ions during frontal analyses yields values close to intrinsic binding constants for gramicidin A (KA for K+ between 70 and 120 M-1) using reasonable estimates of the initial potential that is postulated to arise from the underlying silica.

Abstract
Our work on the complexation of fluoride anions using group 15 Lewis acids has led us to investigate the use of these main group compounds as anion transporters. In this paper, we report on the anion transport properties of tetraarylstibonium and tetraarylbismuthonium cations of the general formula [Ph3PnAr]+ with Pn = Sb or Bi and with Ar = phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl, or pyrenyl. Using EYPC-based large unilamellar vesicles, we show that these main group cations transport hydroxide, fluoride and chloride anions across phospholipid bilayers. A comparison of the properties of [Ph3SbAnt]+ and [Ph3BiAnt]+ (Ant = 9-anthryl) illustrates the favorable role played by the Lewis acidity of the central pnictogen element with respect to the anion transport. Finally, we show that [Ph3SbAnt]+ accelerates the fluoride-induced hemolysis of human red blood cells, an effect that we assign to the transporter-facilitated influx of toxic fluoride anions.

Abstract
Biological fluoride ion channels are sub-1-nanometer protein pores with ultrahigh F− conductivity and selectivity over other halogen ions. Developing synthetic F− channels with biological-level selectivity is highly desirable for ion separations such as water defluoridation, but it remains a great challenge. Here we report synthetic F− channels fabricated from zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), UiO-66-X (X = H, NH2, and N+(CH3)3). These MOFs are comprised of nanometer-sized cavities connected by sub-1-nanometer-sized windows and have specific F− binding sites along the channels, sharing some features of biological F− channels. UiO-66-X channels consistently show ultrahigh F− conductivity up to ~10 S m−1, and ultrahigh F−/Cl− selectivity, from ~13 to ~240. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the ultrahigh F− conductivity and selectivity can be ascribed mainly to the high F− concentration in the UiO-66 channels, arising from specific interactions between F− ions and F− binding sites in the MOF channels. While biological fluoride ion channels display excellent F− conductivity and selectivity, designing synthetic analogues remains highly challenging. Here the authors show that zirconium-based metal–organic frameworks with F− binding sites and sub-1-nanometer channels exhibit ultrahigh F− conductivity and selectivity.

Abstract
Recently, we showed that synthetic anion transporters DSC4P-1 and SA-3 had activity related to cancer cell death. They were found to increase intracellular chloride and sodium ion concentrations. They were also found to induce apoptosis (DSC4P-1) and both induce apoptosis and inhibit autophagy (SA-3). However, determinants underlying these phenomenological findings were not elucidated. The absence of mechanistic understanding has limited the development of yet-improved systems. Here, we show that three synthetic anion transporters, DSC4P-1, SA-3, and 8FC4P, induce osmotic stress in cells by increasing intracellular ion concentrations. This triggers the generation of reactive oxygen species via a sequential process and promotes caspase-dependent apoptosis. In addition, two of the transporters, SA-3 and 8FC4P, induce autophagy by increasing the cytosolic calcium ion concentration promoted by osmotic stress. However, they eventually inhibit the autophagy process as a result of their ability to disrupt lysosome function through a transporter-mediated decrease in a lysosomal chloride ion concentration and an increase in the lysosomal pH.

Abstract
A series of symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkyl tren based tris-thiourea anion transporters were synthesised and their anion binding and transport properties studied. Overall, increasing the steric bulk of the substituents resulted in improved chloride binding and transport abilities. Including a macrocycle in the scaffold enhanced the selectivity of chloride transport in the presence of fatty acids, by reducing the undesired H⁺ flux facilitated by fatty acid flip-flop. This study demonstrates the benefit of including enforced steric hindrance and encapsulation in the design of more selective anion receptors.

Abstract
A neutral tetralactam macrocycle was prepared in a few minutes in one pot and at high concentration using commercially available starting materials. NMR titration studies in DMSO revealed an anion affinity order of F- > AcO- > Cl- > Br-. The receptor affinity for F- is very high due in part to formation of a self-complementary dimer comprised of two "saddle shaped" complexes. An X-ray crystal structure showed that the two F- ions within the dimer are separated by 3.39 Å. The electrostatic penalty for this close proximity is compensated by attractive interactions provided by the surrounding tetralactam molecules. Reactivity experiments showed that stabilization of F- as a supramolecular complex abrogated its capacity to induce elimination and substitution chemistry. This finding raises the idea of using tetralactam macrocycles to stabilize fluoride-containing liquid electrolytes within redox devices such as room-temperature fluoride-ion batteries. A lipophilic version of the tetralactam macrocycle was prepared and used to extract F- from water into a chloroform layer with high efficiency. The favorable extraction is due to the architecture of the extracted dimeric complex, with all the polarity located within the core of the self-associated dimer and all the nonpolar functionality on the exterior surface.

Abstract
Two tweezer-like anion receptors 2,2'‑bis(2‑cyano‑2‑phenylvinyl)‑5,5'‑dimethyl dipyrromethane (1) and 2,2'‑bis[2‑cyano‑2‑(4‑nitrophenyl)vinyl]‑5,5'‑dimethyl dipyrromethane (2) were synthesized in good yields, via a facile condensation of diformyldipyrromethane and the appropriate phenylacetonitrile. Anion recognition properties of these receptors were studied in detail in DMSO solution, by means of UV-vis and 1H NMR titration techniques. The obtained results indicated that receptor 2 containing a terminal nitro group exhibited the strong and selective binding to biologically important fluoride and dihydrogenphosphate ions over other anions. In addition, the binding strength of receptor 2 with fluoride was enhanced by a factor of 18, relative to receptor 1 lacking the nitro group. Remarkably, the presence or absence of nitro group within receptor compounds also had a great influence on the anion-binding selectivity. In particular, a distinct color change of DMSO solution of receptor 2 was observed only upon addition of fluoride, showing the potential of 2 acting as an effective colorimetric sensor for the detection of fluoride anion.
