Chapter 3: Anion Binding in Tripodal Receptors and Supramolecular Capsular Dimeric Assemblies

Comprehensive overview on the development of anion recognition by tripodal receptors and supramolecular capsular dimeric assemblies has been conferred. Discussion is carried out by focusing on the functionalities like, amide, urea, amine and zwitter ion on which various tripodal receptors have been developed. This book chapter illustrates the development of tripodal anion receptors and their capsular dimeric assemblies in anion chemistry where different characterization techniques like; ¹H-NMR, ITC, Single crystal X-ray structural studies etc. have been employed to establish anion binding.
