Fluorescent Charge-Assisted Halogen-Bonding Macrocyclic Halo-Imidazolium Receptors for Anion Recognition and Sensing in Aqueous Media

TL;DR: Computational DFT and molecular dynamics simulations corroborate the experimental observations that bromo- and syn iodo-imidazoliophane XB receptors form stable cooperative convergent XB associations with bromide and iodide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Halogen bond anion templated assembly of an imidazolium pseudorotaxane

TL;DR: The strength of chloride-anion-templated pseudorotaxane formation with a 2-bromo-functionalized imidazolium threading component and an isophthalamide macrocycle is significantly enhanced compared to hydrogen-bonded pseudorOTaxane analogues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chloride, carboxylate and carbonate transport by ortho-phenylenediamine-based bisureas

TL;DR: Molecular dynamics simulations showed that these compounds permeate the membrane more easily than other promising receptors corroborating the experimental efflux data, and cell based assays revealed that the majority of the compounds showed cytotoxicity in cancer cells, which may be linked to their ability to function as ion transporters.
