title: Size-matched recognition of large anions by cyanostar macrocycles is saved when solvent-bias is avoided.
abstract: The size-dependent recognition of large anions by shape-persistent macrocycles is poorly understood. To address this shortcoming, we created a bulky cyanostar that only forms 1 : 1 complexes and show the affinities best follow the expectations of size matching but only when solvent bias is removed.
