    • Main Results:

    • The tripodal receptors effectively recognize tetraalkylammonium ions.
    • Weak CH-O interactions are identified as the primary binding forces.
    • High association constants (around 10(5) M(-1)) were achieved.
    • The receptors demonstrated signaling capabilities for selected choline phospholipids.

    Conclusions:

    • Squaramide-lined tripodal receptors are effective in binding tetraalkylammonium ions.
    • The developed fluorescent system allows for sensitive detection of specific choline phospholipids.
    • This work provides a foundation for novel chemosensors in biological and chemical applications.
