Abstract

This review aims to highlight the most important recent advances in the area of anion-templated syntheses in supramolecular and coordination chemistry. We published a comprehensive review on this area in 2003 and hence examples prior to this date will only be discussed when essential for clarity of presentation. The current review has been divided into three main sections: (a) anion-templated synthesis of systems with well-defined molecular weights; this includes macrocycles and cages, interlocked species (such as catenanes and rotaxanes), helical assemblies and other selected examples. (b) Anions as templates in polymeric systems; this includes metal-organic frameworks, molecularly imprinted polymers and other selected examples, such as liquid crystalline materials. (c) Anion templates in dynamic combinatorial libraries.
