A simple bis-urea containing anion receptor, synthesised from ortho-phenylenediamine, has been shown to have excellent selectivity for carboxylates in solution, with a crystal structure elucidation of the benzoate complex showing four hydrogen bonds between the receptor and anion in the solid state.

Steric interactions in 1,3-dicarboxamidoanthraquinones have been employed to 'twist' isophthalamide-like anion binding sites; the crystal structure of the fluoride complex of a bis-3,5-dichlorophenylamide derivative shows the receptor acting as a 'hydrogen-bonding corner' in a '2 + 2' fluoride containing molecular box.
