Anion-templated synthesis is an emerging supramolecular chemistry field. This review highlights recent advances in using anions as directing agents for diverse inorganic and organic assemblies, overcoming previous limitations.

Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Coordination Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Cationic and neutral species are well-studied for templating effects.
  • Anion templating is less explored due to anion properties like diffuse nature and high solvation energies.
  • Recent studies show anion templating is feasible and versatile.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the significant advancements in anion-templated synthesis.
  • To showcase the application of anions as directing agents in constructing complex assemblies.
  • To encourage further research in this developing area of supramolecular chemistry.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of anion-templated synthesis.
  • Analysis of reported inorganic and organic assemblies.
