Abstrakt: Supramolecular anion receptors can be used to study the molecular recognition properties of the reactive yet biologically critical hydrochalcogenide anions (HCh - ). Achieving selectivity for HCh - over the halides is challenging but necessary for not only developing future supramolecular probes for HCh - binding and detection, but also for understanding the fundamental properties that govern these binding and recognition events. Here we demonstrate that linear free energy relationships (LFERs)-including Hammett and Swain-Lupton plots-reveal a clear difference in sensitivity to the polarity of an aryl C-H hydrogen bond (HB) donor for HS - over other HCh - and halides. Analysis using electrostatic potential maps highlights that this difference in sensitivity results from a preference of the aryl C-H HB donor for HS - in this host scaffold. From this study, we demonstrate that LFERs are a powerful tool to gain interpretative insight into motif design for future anion-selective supramolecular receptors and highlight the importance of C-H HB donors for HS - recognition. From our results, we suggest that aryl C-H HB donors should be investigated in the next generation of HS - selective receptors based on the enhanced HS - selectivity over other competing anions in this system.
