Anion recognition is one of the most important events in biological systems.[1] Therefore, chemists have synthesized a large variety of artificial anion receptors over the last two decades, not only to understand such sophisticated biological processes, but also for developing novel sensors and transporters for target anions [2] as well as for anion-induced supramolecular catalysis.[3] Besides anion recognition, one of the current interesting topics in supramolecular chemistry has evolved into the anion-templated assembly of supramolecules [4] and anion-induced conformational changes, such as helix–helix inversion,[5] helix–coil transition,[6] and molecular switches [7] that mostly rely on a specific anion binding to well-designed building blocks consisting of hydrogen-bonding donor groups, such as amide and urea moieties and/or metals.[8]It is known that metal-assembled anion receptors,[9] composed of an octahedral metal ion and 2, 2’-bipyridine (bpy) derivatives functionalized with secondary amide groups at the 5, 5’-positions, such as tris (5, 5’-disubstituted-bpy) metal complexes, are capable of strongly coordinating to an anion through three-point hydrogen bonding.[10] Such a metal complex has a propeller-like chirality around the metal center (D or L). If a mono-substituted bpy ligand is used, instead of the disubstituted bpy, together with a labile metal ion, such as FeII, the resulting metal complex possesses two additional stereoisomers (fac and mer) in addition to the enantiomers, leading to four stereoisomers that are under dynamic equilibrium; fac-D, fac-L, mer-D, and mer-L (Scheme 1).
