The guest anions with different shapes are Cl,N3, NO3, and H2PO4. The host–guest interactions were characterized via1 H NMR spectroscopy,electrospray ionization mass spectrometry(ESI-MS) and single crystal X-ray crystallography. The results implied that macrocyclic hosts with similar backbone but two distinct binding sites(14+with neutral C–H vs. 24+with N(sp2)) vary markedly in their response to anions, including the binding modes and association constants. The finding will serve to the construction of new anion receptors, even improve insights into the anion binding process in biology.展开更多
