Competing but Coexisting: Sulfate-and Potassium-Induced Supramolecular Motifs in Squaramide-Based Receptor Complexes

Puntos clave

• The aim is to investigate the coexistence and interaction of two supramolecular motifs in a receptor molecule.
• Utilized squaramide and benzo-15-crown-5 ether domains to create receptor complexes.
• Analyzed recognition behavior of the receptor complexes with sulfate and potassium.
• Demonstrated distinct dual recognition behavior of the receptor complex.
• Showed coexistence of two supramolecular motifs within the same complex.
