Tuning the binding properties of a new heteroditopic salt receptor through embedding in a polymeric system.
In this communication, we describe a polymerizable, heteroditopic salt receptor, based on an amino acid scaffold, which is able to bind sodium salts of chloride, acetate and nitrate. A poly(butyl methacrylate) derivative  containing receptor  was then prepared. In contrast to receptor  copolymer  is capable of extracting sodium nitrate from aqueous media.
