In this first year of funding, progress has been made towards the stated project goal of generating useful sulfate extractants. A new series of bispyrrole-pyridine sulfate anion receptors was discovered and found to show very high sulfate-to-nitrate selectivity, a key prerequisite to generating a useful extractant. Progress was made towards developing the synthetic methodology needed to solubilize this system and other known receptors prepared by project collaborator, Prof. Kristin Bowman-James
