We present cryogenic ion vibrational spectroscopy of complexes of the anion receptor octamethyl calix[4]pyrrole (omC4P) with nitrate in vacuo. We compare the resulting vibrational spectrum with that in deuterated acetonitrile solution, and we interpret the results using density functional theory. Nitrate binds to omC4P through hydrogen bonds between the four NH groups of the receptor and a single NO group of the nitrate ion. The shape of the ion breaks the
