Abstract

Tautomeric switching is observed in a series of benzimidazole-based anion receptors upon addition of basic anions. An N-methylbenzimidazole based receptor selectively interacts with dihydrogen phosphate over a variety of other putative anionic guests via a combination of donated and accepted hydrogen bonds.
