Anions are key to many processes, both industrial and biological, playing crucial roles in both health and the environment. Their role, function and properties are at the heart of many scientific research programmes within the field of supramolecular chemistry.
In the latest Chem Soc Rev themed issue, guest editors Phil Gale and Thorri Gunnlaugsson have collected together a series of reviews covering many recent advances in this exciting area of chemistry. Topics include sensing, transmembrane lipid-bilayer transport of anionic species, urea-based receptors and conformational control using anions.
Read the full issue, which includes a preface from the guest editors, 10 tutorial reviews and 14 critical reviews. If you have any comments on this issue or suggestions for future themed issues, or you would like to write a review for the journal, please leave your comments below or contact the Editorial Office.
And if you enjoy this issue, you’ll also enjoy Phil Gale’s ChemComm Highlight in Chemistry entitled ‘Anion Receptor Chemistry’.
