Development of highly efficient systems capable of bin<strong>di</strong>ng specific anions selectively is<br />

recognized as being a key pre<strong>di</strong>cate to solving a number of fundamental problems, inclu<strong>di</strong>ng<br />

anion sensing, extraction, and separation. A number oxoanions are also recognized as toxic or<br />

undesirable in certain situations. Sulfate can interfere with the vitrification processes that have<br />

been proposed for long-term containment and storage of low activity wastes (LAW).<br />

Pertechnetate anion is the most common form of the long-lived isotope 99 (t1/2 = 2.13 x 10 5<br />

years) that is formed from 235 U or 239 Pu. Our previous investigations showed the ability of<br />

oligopyrrolic macrocycles to bind tetrahedral oxoanions efficiently [1]. The aim of the work that<br />

will be summarized in this presentation is to examine the fundamental determinants of our<br />

macrocyclic molecules as applied to the areas of recognition, bin<strong>di</strong>ng, and extraction. Towards<br />

this end, the anion-bin<strong>di</strong>ng properties of a series of bipyrrole containing receptors were<br />

measured using UV-VIS titration methods. From this analysis, two bipyrrole-containing<br />

receptors, namely 1 and 2, were identified that proved effective for the ReO4 - anion (used as<br />

non-ra<strong>di</strong>oactive analogue of TcO4 - ). These receptors were stu<strong>di</strong>ed as their tetrafluoroborate<br />

salts for extraction experiments and both were found to extract pertechnetate efficiently over a<br />

wide range of pH without the need for phase transfer agents. Follow-up competitive extraction<br />

stu<strong>di</strong>es revealed that receptor 1 effected a high level of pertechnetate extraction at neutral pH<br />

even in presence of the potentially competing anions, sulfate and perchlorate anions.<br />

The tuning of molecular properties by supramolecular complexation is of prime interest in<br />

supramolecular chemistry. Recently, we explored the complexation-induced shift of the<br />

protonation equilibria of guest molecules, particularly fluorescent dyes and drugs, by<br />

macrocycles [1,2,3]. In this presentation, the potential of cucurbit[7]uril (CB7), a water-soluble<br />

macrocyclic host molecule comprised of seven methylene-bridged glycoluril units is being<br />

explored with respect to (i) its effect on the protonation equilibria of included guests, (ii) solubility<br />

enhancement, (iii) photostabilization, and (iv) fluorescence enhancement, compare Scheme<br />

below.<br />

The hydrophobic cavity along with the cation receptor properties of the two portals of<br />

CB7 causes a considerable shift of protonation equilibrium of fluorescent dyes. This hostassisted<br />

guest protonation, along with its supramolecular confinement, results in novel and<br />

desirable photophysical properties. Solubility and fluorescence enhancement of poorly soluble<br />

benzimidazole-based fungicides (see above) are observed. A significant photostabilization for<br />

these guests is also observed due to the host-assisted guest protonation by CB7. The altered<br />

photophysical properties can be used for improved applications to create new sensors based on<br />

a protolytic <strong>di</strong>splacement assay principle [3].<br />
