title: Calix[4]bipyrrole--a big, flexible, yet effective chloride-selective anion receptor.
abstract: Anion binding studies reveal that, in spite of its big size and flexible structure, calix[4]bipyrrole shows strong anion binding in general and good selectivity towards chloride anion in acetonitrile.
