Abstrakt: Hydroxypyridinium and hydroxyquinolinium compounds containing acidic O-H groups attached to a cationic aromatic scaffold were synthesized, i.e. N-methyl-3-hydroxypyridinium (1 + ) and N-methyl-8-hydroxyquinolinium (2 + ). These very simple compounds are capable of binding to chloride very strongly in CD 3 CN and with moderate strength in 9 : 1 CD 3 CN : D 2 O. Comparison with known association constants reveals that 1 + and 2 + bind chloride in CD 3 CN or CD 3 CN : D 2 O with comparable affinities to receptors containing significantly more hydrogen bond donors and/or higher positive charges. Crystal structures of both compounds with coordinating anions were obtained, and feature short O-Hanion hydrogen bonds. A receptor containing two hydroxyquinolinium groups was also prepared. While the low solubility of this compound caused difficulties, we were able to demonstrate chloride binding in a competitive 1 : 1 CD 3 CN : CD 3 OD solvent mixture. Addition of sulfate to this compound results in the formation of a crystallographically-characterised solid state anion coordination polymer.
