  1. Abstract

    An expanded dinuclear copper(II) complex (1) derived from a biphenyl‐based hexaazamacrocyle (L) was synthesized and characterized by single crystal X‐ray analysis, exhibiting a boat‐shaped cavity with an elongated CuII⋅⋅⋅CuIIdistance of 11.01 Å. The dinuclear copper(II) complex was investigated for a verity of biologically relevant anions including carboxylates (oxalate, citrate, tartrate, glutamate, adipate, acetate and benzoate), oxoanions (phosphate, sulphate, perchlorate and nitrate), and halides (fluoride, chloride, bromide and iodide) by competitive fluorescence titrationsviaindicator displacement assay (IDA) using an external dye (Eosin Y) in water‐methanol solution at neutral pH. The receptor was shown to exhibit strong affinity for oxalate, providing the binding trend: oxalate (logK=6.07)>citrate (logK=5.74)>phosphate (logK=5.02)>tartrate (logK=4.78)>glutamate (logK=4.42)>adipate (logK=4.31)>acetate (logK=4.14)>benzoate (logK=4.01). No interaction was observed for other anions including sulphate, perchlorate, nitrate, fluoride, chloride, bromide and iodide under the identical conditions.
