Abstract
Anion recognition is pertinent to a range of environmental, medicinal and industrial applications. Recent progress in the field has relied on advances in synthetic host design to afford a broad range of potent recognition motifs and novel supramolecular structures capable of effective binding both in solution and at derived molecular films. However, performance in aqueous media remains a critical challenge. Understanding the effects of bulk and local solvent on anion recognition by host scaffolds is imperative if effective and selective detection in real-world media is to be viable. This Review seeks to provide a framework within which these effects can be considered both experimentally and theoretically. We highlight proposed models for solvation effects on anion binding and discuss approaches to retain strong anion binding in highly competitive (polar) solvents. The synthetic design principles for exploiting the aforementioned solvent effects are explored.

Abstract
The anion recognition and electrochemical anion-sensing properties of halogen-bonding (XB) tripodal zinc(II) receptors strategically designed and constructed for tetrahedral anion guest binding are described. The XB tris(iodotriazole)-containing hosts exhibit high affinities and selectivities for inorganic phosphate over other more basic, mono-charged oxoanions such as acetate and the halides in a competitive CD3 CN/D2 O (9 : 1 v/v) aqueous solvent mixture. 1 H NMR anion binding and electrochemical voltammetric anion sensing studies with redox-active ferrocene functionalised metallo-tripodal receptor analogues, reveal each of the XB tripods as superior anion complexants when compared to their tris(prototriazole)-containing, hydrogen bonding (HB) counterparts, not only exemplifying the halogen bond as a strong alternative interaction to the traditional hydrogen bond for molecular recognition but also providing rare evidence of the ability of XB receptors to preferentially bind the "harder" phosphate oxoanion over the "softer" and less hydrated halides in aqueous containing media.

Abstract
It has been found that the addition of CH2CN- anion to the carbonyl group of acylethynylpyrroles, generated from acetonitrile and t-BuOK, results in the formation of acetylenic alcohols, which undergo unexpectedly easy (room temperature) decomposition to ethynylpyrroles and cyanomethylphenylketones (retro-Favorsky reaction). This finding allows a robust synthesis of ethynylpyrroles in up to 95% yields to be developed. Since acylethynylpyrroles became available, the strategy thus found makes ethynylpyrroles more accessible than earlier. The quantum-chemical calculations (B2PLYP/6-311G**//B3LYP/6-311G**+C-PCM/acetonitrile) confirm the thermodynamic preference of the decomposition of the intermediate acetylenic alcohols to free ethynylpyrroles rather than their potassium derivatives.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) plays a crucial signalling role in a variety of physiological systems, existing as the hydrosulfide anion (HS- ) at physiological pH. Combining the potency of halogen bonding (XB) for anion recognition in water with coumarin fluorophore incorporation in acyclic host structural design, the first XB receptors to bind and, more importantly, sense the hydrosulfide anion in pure water in a reversible chemosensing fashion are demonstrated. The XB receptors exhibit characteristic selective quenching of fluorescence upon binding to HS- . Computational DFT and molecular dynamics simulations in water corroborate the experimental anion binding observations, revealing the mode and nature of HS- recognition by the XB receptors.

Abstract
A new fluorescence probe based on [5]helicene derivative (MT) was designed and synthesized. The chemical structure of the probe was fully characterized by NMR, mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. MT which is the combination of thioamide[5]helicene with Schiff base-thiophene moiety, exhibited a high selectivity to detect Hg2+ through irreversible desulfurization reaction with "TurnON" fluorescence response and large Stokes shift of 110 nm in aqueous methanol solution. The detection limit of MT was 1.2 ppb (6.0 × 10-3 µM), which is lower than the limit of Hg2+ level in drinking water, as specified by WHO (6.0 ppb) and U.S. EPA (2.0 ppb). The Hg2+ detection range of the probe was 0.07-1.6 µM with good linearity. Under UV irradiation, MT possessed the capability to detect Hg2+ in diverse context of real samples, including drinking and sea waters, vegetable tissue and brain tumor cell. In addition, MT could be used as a paper test strip for monitoring and screening of Hg2+ contamination in environment.

Abstract
Sensing anionic species in competitive aqueous media is a well-recognised challenge to long-term applications across a multitude of fields. Herein, we report a comprehensive investigation of the electrochemical anion sensing performance of novel halogen bonding (XB) and hydrogen bonding (HB) bis-ferrocene-(iodo)triazole receptors in solution and at self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), in a range of increasingly competitive aqueous organic solvent media (ACN/H2 O). In solution, the XB sensor notably outperforms the HB sensor, with substantial anion recognition induced cathodic voltammetric responses of the ferrocene/ferrocenium redox couple persisting even in highly competitive aqueous solvent media of 20 % water content. The response to halides, in particular, shows a markedly lower sensitivity to increasing water content associated with a unique halide selectivity at unprecedented levels of solvent polarity. The HB sensor, in contrast, generally displayed a preference towards oxoanions. A significant surface-enhancement effect was observed for both XB/HB receptive films in all solvent systems, whereby the HB sensor generally displayed larger responses towards oxoanions than its halogen bonding analogue.

Abstract
An anion sensor is presented that combines a bidentate hydrogen‐ (HB) or halogen‐bonding (XB) site with a luminescent monocationic Ir fragment for strong binding of common anions (Ka up to 6×104
m−1) with diagnostic emission changes. A new emission‐based protocol for fast and reliable detection was derived on the basis of correction for systematic but unspecific background effects. Such a simple correction routine circumvents the hitherto practical limitations of systematic emission‐based analysis of anion binding with validated open‐source software (BindFit). The anticipated order of Ka values was obeyed according to size and basicity of the anions (Cl>Br=OAc) as well as the donor atom of the receptor (XB: 6×104
m−1 > HB: 5×103
m−1), and led to submicromolar limits of detection within minutes. The results were further validated by advanced NMR techniques, and corroborated by X‐ray crystallographic data and DFT analysis, which reproduced the structural and electronic features in excellent agreement. The results suggest that corrected emission‐based sensing may become a complementary, reliable, and fast tool to promote the use of XB in various application fields, due to the simple and fast optical determination at high dilution.

Abstract
Two new chromogenic sensors 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)thiourea 1 and 1-(3-hydroxypyridin-2-yl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)thiourea 2 bearing nitrophenyl and thiourea groups were designed and synthesized by one-step procedure and characterized through 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FTIR, and MS. The anion recognition property of the receptors was studied via naked-eye detection, UV–vis, and 1H NMR. Based on the existence of amino gen and hydroxyl moieties in receptors, receptors 1 and 2 exhibit obvious selectivity by the redshift of UV–vis signals, colour changes through naked-eye detection, and binding effects for F–, H2PO4–, and Ac–. Surprisingly, the detection limits of receptor 1 for F– and Ac– were calculated to be 5.45 × 10−7 and 2.11 × 10−7 (mol/L)−1, respectively, which indicated that F– and Ac– can be identified with high sensitivity by receptor 1. Besides, simple “test strips” were developed and were used as sensors for recognition of F–, H2PO4–, or Ac– in DMSO solution. Lastly, the mechanisms of the recognition process were studied through DFT calculation and 1H NMR titration.

Abstract
![]()
A central ZF3 molecule (Z = P, As, Sb, Bi) is allowed
to interact with a number of nucleophiles exemplified by NCH, NH3, and NC– anion. The Z···N
pnicogen bond (ZB) to a single base grows stronger for heavier Z atom:
P < A < Sb < Bi and follows the NCH < NH3 <
NC– order for the three bases. The maximum number
of ZBs depends on both the nature of the base and pnicogen atom. PF3 and AsF3 can pnicogen bond with only a single
CN–; SbF3 and BiF3 can interact
with two anions but only weakly. The weak NCH nucleophile can engage
in a maximum of two ZBs, while three ZBs occur for NH3.
The latter NH3 maximum can be extended to four ZBs but
only for BiF3. The fourth ZB is somewhat longer and weaker
than the others, and the entire (H3N)4···BiF3 complex relies partially on secondary interactions for its
stability.

Abstract
Preorganization is a powerful tool in supramolecular chemistry which has been utilized successfully in intra- and intermolecular halogen bonding. In previous work, we had developed a bidentate bis(iodobenzimidazolium)-based halogen bond donor which featured a central trifluoromethyl substituent. This compound showed a markedly increased catalytic activity compared to unsubstituted bis(iodoimidazolium)-based Lewis acids, which could be explained either by electronic effects (the electron withdrawal by the fluorinated substituent) or by preorganization (the hindered rotation of the halogen bonding moieties). Herein, we systematically investigate the origin of this increased Lewis acidity via a comparison of the two types of compounds and their respective derivatives with or without the central trifluoromethyl group. Calorimetric measurements of halide complexations indicated that preorganization is the main reason for the higher halogen bonding strength. The performance of the catalysts in a series of benchmark reactions corroborates this finding.

Abstract
Synthetic supramolecular receptors have been widely used to study reversible solution binding of anions; however, few systems target highly-reactive species. In particular, the hydrochalcogenide anions hydrosulfide (HS-) and hydroselenide (HSe-) have been largely overlooked despite their critical roles in biological systems. Herein we present the first example of reversible HSe- binding in two distinct synthetic supramolecular receptors, using hydrogen bonds from N-H and aromatic C-H moieties. The arylethynyl bisurea scaffold 1 t Bu achieved a binding affinity of 460 ± 50 M-1 for HSe- in 10% DMSO-d 6/CD3CN, whereas the tripodal-based receptor 2CF3 achieved a binding affinity of 290 ± 50 M-1 in CD3CN. Association constants were also measured for HS-, Cl-, and Br-, and both receptors favored binding of smaller, more basic anions. These studies contribute to a better understanding of chalcogenide hydrogen bonding and provide insights into further development of probes for the reversible binding, and potential quantification, of HSe- and HS-.
