摘要: 离子对广泛存在于自然体系、生命过程以及化学环境中，在离子识别、传输和分离等领域具有重要作用。相比于传统单离子受体，离子对受体通过同时结合阳离子和阴离子，利用协同作用实现对离子对的高效识别，并展现出良好的功能化应用潜力。本文总结了离子对受体在功能化应用的研究进展，概述离子对受体的结构发展，并重点阐述其在离子识别与传感、盐溶解与提取、离子运输以及刺激响应体系中的代表性应用，对当前离子对受体发展面临的挑战以及未来功能化应用方向进行了展望。
Abstract: Ion pairs are widely present in natural systems, biological processes, and chemical environments, and play important roles in ion recognition, transport, and separation. Compared with conventional single-ion receptors, ion-pair receptors can simultaneously bind cations and anions and exploit cooperative effects to achieve efficient ion-pair recognition, thereby exhibiting considerable potential for functional applications. This review summarizes recent progress in the functional applications of ion-pair receptors, provides an overview of their structural development, and highlights representative applications in ion recognition and sensing, salt solubilization and extraction, ion transport, and stimuli-responsive systems. Finally, the current challenges in the development of ion-pair receptors and future directions for their functional applications are discussed.
