The field of anion supramolecular chemistry has expanded enormously during the past few decades, inspired in large part by the realization of the many fundamental roles negatively charged species play in a range of chemical, biological, medical and environmental processes.[1] Through the incorporation of complementary electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, Lewis acid–base [2] and anion–π non-covalent interactions [3] into acyclic and macrocyclic molecular framework design, numerous efficient synthetic anion receptors and sensors have been developed. However, the challenge to mimic the degree of selectivity exhibited by biological anion-binding proteins still remains. Halogen bonding (XB) is the attractive noncovalent interaction between an electron-deficient, positively polarized halogen atom, commonly bromine or iodine, and a Lewis base.[4] Anions have been exploited extensively as XB acceptors in the solid state crystal engineering [5] of conducting, magnetic and liquid-crystalline materials.[6] Given XB s complementary analogy to hydrogen bonding in terms of stringent directionality and bond strength,[7] it is surprising that solution phase applications of XB [8] in molecular recognition processes such as protein–ligand [9] complexes, anion receptor chemistry,[10] and catalysis [11] are only now beginning to emerge.By using anion templation, we have constructed threedimensional interpenetrated and interlocked molecular host systems that exhibit a high degree of selectivity towards the templating anion through primarily electrostatics and convergent hydrogen bonding.[12] In an effort to influence significantly the steric, electronic and lipophilic characteristics, and hence anion recognition properties, of the interlocked binding pocket, we recently reported the first XB-bonding rotaxane containing an iodotriazolium axle which
