Anion recognition by bisimidazolium and bisbenzimidazolium cholapods

Revisit to imidazolium receptors for the recognition of anions: highlighted research during 2006–2009

“…28). 61 Open forms of bisimidazolium systems 62 as well as bisbenzimidazolium systems 63 were also investigated by same group.…”

Macrocyclic bile acids: from molecular recognition to degradable biomaterial building blocks

“…Another series of experiments by Pandey and coworkers showed similar results for an imidazolium-based cyclic monomer, 37,97 where the two imidazolium moieties were linked to the C3-and C12-positions of a deoxycholic acid molecule, hence holding them in relatively close proximity for interaction with anions (Fig. 10).…”

Ionic Liquids and Polymeric Ionic Liquids as Stimuli-Responsive Functional Materials

“…Binding with carboxylates is much stronger than with halides, and certain dicarboxylates induce precipitation. Bisimidazolium and bisbenzimidazolium cholapods were synthesized from methyl deoxycholate and examined for halide, acetate, and HSO 4 -binding in chloroform using NMR proton chemical shift data [86]. The bisimidazolium moiety exhibited the greatest affinity for chloride and the bisbenzimidazolium bound acetate most strongly.…”
