Abstract

We report synthetically accessible receptors with protonated amines attached to a conformationally constrained backbone including amide units, and demonstrate that these receptors have high affinities (log K > 5) for phosphate anions in aqueous media at pH 7 in the presence of high concentrations of competitive chloride anions (ca. 100-fold excess).
