Dramatic synergistic cooperative effects between Be⋯F beryllium bonds and Cl⋯N halogen bonds in XYBe:FCl:N-base ternary complexes lead to changes in the halogen-bond type from traditional to chlorine-shared to ion-pair bonds.

Two bistable halogen and hydrogen bonding-naphthalene diimide [2]rotaxanes have been prepared and the system incorporating a halogen bond donor anion recognition site is demonstrated to exhibit superior anion induced translational motion of the macrocyclic wheel component relative to the hydrogen bonding analogue.

A computational study of the iodide discrimination by different neutral and cationic iodotriazole halogen bonding hosts was carried out by means of Density Functional Theory. The importance of the size of the scaffold was highlighted and its impact observed in the binding energies and intermolecular X⋯I distances. Larger scaffolds were found to reduce the electronic repulsion and increase the overlap between the halide electron lone pair and the corresponding I-C antibonding orbital, increasing the halogen bonding interactions. Additionally, the planarity plays an important role within the interaction, and can be tuned using hydroxyl to perform intramolecular hydrogen bonds (IMHB) between the scaffold and the halogen atoms. Structures with IMHB exhibit stronger halogen bond interactions, as evidenced by the shorter intramolecular distances, larger electron density values at the bond critical point and more negative binding energies.

A family of cationic halogen bonding [2]rotaxanes have been synthesised via an active-metal template synthetic strategy. 1H NMR spectroscopic anion titration investigations reveal these interlocked host systems recognize halides selectively over oxoanions in aqueous–organic solvent media. Furthermore, systematically modulating the rigidity and size of the rotaxanes’ anion binding cavities via metal complexation, as well as by varying the number of halogen bond-donor groups in the axle component, was found to dramatically influence halide anion selectivity.

Neutral heteroditopic [2]rotaxane ion-pair host systems were synthesised via a copper(ii)-directed metal template strategy and shown to undergo cooperative anion recognition with a co-bound zinc(ii) cation.

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.
