Anion Binding Studies of Urea and Thiourea Functionalized Molecular Clefts

Two rationally designed 4-nitrophenyl-based molecular clefts functionalized with thiourea (L1) and urea (L2) have been synthesized and studied for a variety of anions by UV-Vis and colorimetric techniques in DMSO. Results from the binding studies suggest that both L1 and L2 bind halides showing the...
