Anion recognition by a disiloxane-1,3-diol in organic solvents

Abstract To explore the anion recognition ability of silanol derivatives, ESI-MS and 1 H NMR titrations of a 1,3-disiloxanediol 1 with anions were studied in CDCl 3 and MeCN- d 3 . The results indicate that 1 showed strong binding to anions such as AcO − and halides.
