title: Recognition and separation of sulfate anions.
abstract: This tutorial review focuses on some recent aspects in the development of synthetic receptors for selective sulfate anion recognition and separation, with a special emphasis to: (i) receptors for selective recognition of sulfate in organic and aqueous media and (ii) receptors for separation of sulfate from water via liquid-liquid extraction and crystallization.
