Antonella Dalla Cort studied chemistry in Rome at the University La Sapienza. After spending almost 2 years as a post-doctoral-fellow with Professor Barry M. Trost she started her career as a researcher at the University La Sapienza, where she became an associate professor in organic chemistry in 2007. Her major research interests involve molecular recognition and supramolecular catalysis. Currently she is the Chair of COST Action “Supramolecular Chemistry in Water”.

Abstract

The development of heteroditopic receptor systems that can simultaneously bind cationic and anionic species is one of the most challenging research topics in supramolecular chemistry, attracting the attention of a large number of research groups worldwide. Such an interest is due especially to the fact that the overall receptor–ion-pair complex is neutral and this can be advantageous in many situations, such as salt solubilization and extraction, and membrane-transport applications. Receptors designed for ion-pair complexation are molecules comprising well-known anion-binding motifs and familiar cation-binding sites. An important family of compounds that can use metal Lewis-acidic centres for anion recognition and that can be easily derivatized to introduce an additional binding site for the cation is metal–salophen and metal–salen complexes. This short review shows that the high versatility of salen and salophen ligands and of the corresponding metal complexes allows, through simple modifications of the basic skeleton, the obtention of highly efficient receptors for ion pairs.
