Lithium chloride selective ion-pair recognition by heteroditopic [2]rotaxanes †

The first heteroditopic [2]rotaxane host systems capable of strong and selective binding of lithium chloride ion-pair species are described. Importantly, a cooperative ‘switch on’ mechanism was found to operate, in which complexation of a lithium metal cation enhances the halide anion affinity of th...
