Abstract
Bile acid-based acyclic receptors bearing two imidazole and benzimidazole moieties have been synthesized. Anion binding studies using 1H NMR revealed that imidazolium receptor exhibits high selectivity for chloride ion while benzimidazolium receptor showed selectivity for Y-shaped acetate ion through hydrogen bond interactions involving imidazolium C-2 and acetyl methylene hydrogens.
