Abstract

Abstract : Anion-π and metal–ligand coordinate bonding interactions lead to nitrite anion recognition by bimetallic cryptates. 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.
