Abstract
Triazole and triazolium groups have been integrated into a zinc(ii) metalloporphyrin-based structural framework to produce two porphyrin-cages for anion sensing applications. UV/visible spectroscopic titration investigations reveal both host systems exhibit strong anion binding affinities, with the positively-charged triazolium-porphyrin cage capable of colorimetric sensing halides, fluoride and chloride, and oxoanions in acetone-water solvent mixtures.
