Factors that Regulate and Complicate Recognition Size (larger than cations) and shape (more diverse) ph Solvation of anions plays a very important role. Anions generally have very high solvation energies that must be compensated by the host. Thus when possible, anion binding should be carried out in apolar solvents or create a microenvironments.

Dual Host Receptor for Ion-pair Ligands should be composed of metal ions as well as anion binding sites either separated by a spacer or integrated into a unit The design principle of L1 is as follows: (i) 18-crown-6 is known for its use as a K+ selective receptor via coordination of suitable numbers of ethereal oxygen atoms with K+ ions; (ii) Pentafluorophenyl substituted urea is popular for its use as a strong H-bond donor unit to anions (iii) the lipophilic character of the pentafluorophenyl moiety also enhances the probability of salt extraction through the bilayer membrane.
