Abstract

A multi-armed neutral anion receptor (1) bearing multiple amide and thiourea binding sites was synthesized. Receptor 1 forms 1:2 complexes with dicarboxylate anions, and the sensitivity for recognition of dicarboxylate depends strongly on the chain length of these dicarboxylate anions. Addition of the anions caused a considerable change in the absorbance and fluorescent intensity of the host solution and a consequent visible color change.
