Furthermore, the anion selectivity can be allosterically regulated by the coordination of the external cations linking the capsules in the framework

Angew Chem Int Ed 47 (2008) 7022-7025 This paper describes the separation of nitrate and sulfate by selective encapsulation inside organic frameworks that provide a saturated hydrogen-bonding environment to the anions. Unlike previous examples where the frameworks were assembled via strong metal-ligand coordinative bonds or charge-assisted hydrogen-bonds, these structures are held together solely by weaker CH⋯O and CH⋯π interactions
