Revisit to imidazolium receptors for the recognition of anions: highlighted research during 2006-2009.
In this tutorial review we discuss imidazolium receptors for anion recognition and recent contributions between 2006-2009 are reviewed according to target analytes, such as ATP and DNA, as well as structural classification, including cage type imidazoliums, imidazolium calixarenes, ferrocenyl imidazoliums, chiral systems, fluorescent or colorimetric imidazoliums, imidazolium cyclophane, nano assembled structures, bile acid-imidazolium, and tripodal-imidazolium systems.
