• ; dihydrogenphosphate recognition; iodide recognition; Introduction The selective recognition of anionic species by artificial abiotic receptors is a rapidly growing area in supramolecular chemistry [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Anion recognition has gained significant importance as it plays an important role in a wide range of

• such as neurological activity and thyroid function. The iodide content of urine and milk is often required to provide information for nutritional, metabolic, and epidemiological studies of thyroid disorder [40]. In relation to this, very few reports on iodide recognition are known in the literature [41
