Abstract

Highly selective anion recognition and extraction is challenging and yet critical for removal of pollutants from the environment and the effective recovery of valuable chemicals from low-content (at sub-ppm or ppb level) sources. In this paper, we detail the gram-scale synthesis of a superphane 2, an anion receptor that selectively binds ReO4−. Superphane 2 can extract perrhenate from solid mixtures containing traces of ReO4− anion (as low as 200 ppb) and aqueous media with near 100% selectivity over large excesses of competing anions. Meanwhile, up to 99.99% of ReO4− can be separated from complex simulated aqueous waste streams containing ppm-level perrhenate via either liquid-liquid extraction or simple column adsorption. Importantly, after extraction or adsorption, superphane 2 can be recycled and reused by simple treatment with aqueous NaHCO3.
