Anion recognition and sensing by mono- and bis-urea substituted ferrocene receptors

New mono- and bis-urea substituted ferrocene receptors have been synthesised. Proton NMR anion coordination studies with chloride and dihydrogen phosphate reveal the presence of bulky tert-butyl ester group urea substitiuents disfavours H2PO4- complexation and amplifies the recognition of Cl-.
