Two anion complexes of a tripodal tris(ferrocenylurea) receptor (L), (LH) · CF 3 SO 3 ( 1 ) and (LH) · HSO 4 ( 2 ), were obtained from L and triflic acid or sulfuric acid, respectively. Crystal structural analyses show that the receptor in the two 1:1 (host/guest) complexes is protonated (on the bridgehead tertiary amine), and the CF 3 SO 3 – or HSO 4 – anion is located outside the tripodal cavity and anchored by the urea and CH groups of the receptor by hydrogen bonds. 1 H NMR spectroscopic studies confirmed the binding mode in solution.
