Anion recognition and binding play an important role in biological processes, such as ATP metabolism and transmembrane transport of anions to regulate osmotic pressure in the cell. Furthermore, anion recognition has emerged to be a major area of supramolecular chemistry, as exemplified by systems such as selective anion sensors and anion-templated molecular architectures.[1]In supramolecular assemblies such as nanoscopic cages and capsules,[2] metal ions often act as glue for the spontaneous but directed assembly of organic building blocks.[3] In some cases, coordinatively labile sites of metal centers provide a platform for direct binding to guest species through ligand-exchange reactions.[1] In contrast, positively charged metal complexes can also interact with anionic species through pure electrostatic interactions. Accordingly, the precise positioning of such metal centers within molecular assemblies that have a hollow space would allow for specific attractive interactions with anionic guest molecules. In the system presented herein, two PdII ions are bound by four bis (monodentate) ligands to give stable squareplanar complexes of the d8 PdII ions. The two PdII centers are spaced 1.7 nm apart and are directly linked by the rigid, banana-shaped ligands, thus allowing this construct to quantitatively bind one dianionic guest by coulombic interactions (Figure 1 a).[4]
