Anion binding strengths in receptors are traditionally described as based solely on electrostatic interactions. However, such a correlation works only for small‐molecule complexes. In contrast, the binding in macrocyclic receptors relies on additional non‐electrostatic stabilizations resulting from longer interatomic distances found between anions and multiple hydrogen‐bond donors in macrocycles. More information can be found in the Full Paper by K. Raghavachari, A. Flood, et al. on page 14409.
