A completely reversible dithiol‐disulfide conversion regulates the recognition properties of the macrocycle 1 . Whereas the open form 1A recognizes the Ag + ion selectively and can transport them across a membrane, the closed form 1B lacks this ability entirely. This concept could be the basis for the development of other receptors with variable recognition properties.
