Preface Alargenumberofbiologicallyrelevantspeciesarenegativelycharged,there- foreit is not surprising that nature has developed sophisticated receptors to recognise,detectandtransformanions.Forexample,complexreceptorssuch as phosphate- and sulphate-binding proteins are employed by living cells to selectively recognise these two geometrically analogous anions. In addition to their roles in biological systems, some anions also have important envi- ronmentalimpacts.Forexample,cyanide,pertechnetateandchromatespose serioushealthproblemsifpresentinwatersupplies. Because of their important biological roles and potential environmental impact there is great current interest in developing molecular receptors to selectivelyrecogniseanionsandindoingsobeabletosequester,transformor sensethem.Thesixchapterspresentedinthisvolumeprovideanoverviewof anion recognition and the most recent advances in this fast-growingarea of supramolecularchemistryarehighlighted. ThefirstchapterbyBatesandGaleprovidesanoverviewofthecoordination ofanionsbysyntheticorganichosts.Thedifferentorganicfunctionalgroups used to bind anions are presented and this provides an introduction to the structuralandelectronicpropertiesthathostsmusthavetorecogniseanionic guests.Ontheotherhand,BaylyandBeergiveadetailedaccountoftheuseof metalcomplexesasanionreceptors.Besidestheimportantstructuralfeatures that metals can confer to receptors, their optical and redox properties make themattractiveforthedevelopmentofanionsensors. Metal-based receptors have found particularly interesting applications in therecognitionofphosphorylatedspeciesofbiologicalinterest(e.g.phospho- rylatedaminoacidsandpeptides). ThisareaisreviewedindepthbyTamaru and Hamachi with particular emphasis on a series of receptors based on zinc(II) centres which have been shown to bind phosphates with very high bindingconstantsinaqueousmedia.Theapplicationsofthistypeofreceptor forthedetectionofsamplesofbiologicalinterestarealsopresented. Ballester provides an interesting account of anion···π interactions and theirimpactinhostdesign.Overthepastfewyearstherehasbeenmounting evidencethatthistypeofinteractionplaysanimportantroleinanionrecog- nition. The chapter startswithadetailed overview ofthe theoreticalaspects of anion···π interactions which is followed by a discussion of the existing X Preface experimentalevidenceforthistypeofinteraction.Both,solutionandcrystal- lographicstudiesareanalysed showingthepotentialimpactthatthistypeof interactioncouldhaveinthedesignofnewanionreceptors. The use of anions as templating agents is discussed by Vilar. The chapter startswithageneraloverviewoftheareaandadiscussionoftheapplications of anion templates in organic and coordination chemistry. The second part of the chapter deals with examples where anions are employed as templates in dynamic combinatorial libraries. This approach promises to provide an efficient routeforthesynthesis ofbetter andmoreselective anionreceptors. The last chapter by Ewen and Steinke also deals with the use of anions as templatesbutinthiscaseinthecontextofmolecularimprintedpolymers.The firsthalf ofthechapterprovidesan introductioninto molecularly imprinted polymers and this is followed by a detailed discussion of examples where anionicspecieshavebeenusedtoimprintthisclassofpolymericmaterials.
