Abstract

Nitrate and nitrite anions have multifaceted impacts on the environment and human health. We herein report selective recognition of nitrite over nitrate anion inside the cavity of bimetallic azacryptates having p-xylyl spacers. This work reveals a number of binding interactions which play pivotal roles in nitrite anion recognition by rigid metal cryptates.
