A synthetic analogue of the natural antibiotic boromycin is described. The negatively charged pseudocryptand 1 possessing a spiroborate moiety binds the potassium cation with the highest stability thus far observed with synthetic receptors. Furthermore, compound 1 displays high selectivity for potassium over other alkali metal cations.
