Solvent dependent anion selectivity exhibited by neutral ferrocenoyl receptors

Abstract

The nature of the solvent medium dramatically alters the anion recognition properties of a new bis(calix[4]arene) ferrocenoyl receptor L by influencing both the magnitude of stability constants and the anion binding selectivity trend the receptor displays.
