This tutorial review examines the potential of anions, in particular sulfate, to template the formation of complex molecular architectures. Until recently, sulfate has been largely overlooked in this area and the examples described herein demonstrate this anion's versatility in templating the formation of a diverse range of molecular systems including macrocycles, helixes, molecular capsules, interpenetrated and interlocked assemblies such as catenanes. In addition sulfate has been shown to template the formation of interpenetrated structures on a range of surfaces including gold, polystyrene beads and silicate nanoparticles, highlighting the potential of this anion in the fabrication of functional sensory devices exhibiting highly selective binding behaviour.
本教程综述探讨了阴离子，特别是硫酸根离子，在构建复杂分子结构方面的潜力。直到最近，硫酸根离子在这一领域基本上被忽视了，本文所述的例子展示了这种阴离子在构建各种分子体系方面的多功能性，这些分子体系包括大环化合物、螺旋结构、分子胶囊、互穿和互锁组装体（如索烃）。此外，硫酸根离子已被证明能在包括金、聚苯乙烯珠子和硅酸盐纳米颗粒在内的一系列表面上构建互穿结构，这突出了这种阴离子在制造具有高度选择性结合行为的功能性传感装置方面的潜力。
