Abstract
In this review the concept of immobilizing electrophilic centers in synthetic receptors is described. The design of neutral metallomacrocycles and metalloclefts with an immobilized electrophilic center (UO2 2+ etc.), combined with hydrogen bonding moieties, π-π-stacking, etc. proved to be a useful approach for complexation of polar neutral molecules and of anions. By systematic variation of the structures a high degree of specificity has been obtained.
The unique combination of binding sites for both cations and anions in a neutral receptor molecule leads to hosts with multifunctional complexation properties, eg. for the complexation of both constituents of a salts.
