A highly selective response of a microelectrode to cyanide ions is induced by the lipophilic dicopper( II ) macrocyclic complex [(L)Cu 2 (NO 3 ) 4 ](L = polyaza‐macrocycle; see structural formula on the right) embedded in a PVC liquid membrane. The complex is the first example of a new type of anion‐selective ionophore. The target anion is efficiently incorporated by a molecular recognition process. R = C. 16 H 33 .
