A fully complementary, high-affinity receptor for phosphate and sulfate based on an acyclic tris(urea) scaffold.
A fully complementary tris(urea) receptor for phosphate and sulfate anions has been developed by mimicking the scaffold of terpyridine which shows very high affinities and selectivities toward the tetrahedral anions.
