	abstract = {<p>Compounds incorporating Group 14{\textendash}17 elements as electron-deficient sites are capable of attractive, directional interactions with Lewis bases. These noncovalent interactions are known as tetrel, pnictogen, chalcogen and halogen bonding, respectively. When the Lewis base is a negatively charged species, such interactions can be employed as the basis for the development of anion receptors, which are of interest from a fundamental standpoint and in applications ranging from chemical sensing to catalysis and medicinal chemistry. Halogen bonding and related interactions offer intriguing features in this context, including distinctive patterns of anion selectivity and solvent effects, along with unique opportunities for structural variation and synthetic access. This review article summarizes advances in anion recognition using halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen and tetrel bonding, with a focus on examples for which solution-phase thermodynamic data have been obtained.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>In biological systems, the selective and high-affinity recognition of anionic species is accomplished by macromolecular hosts (anion-binding proteins) that have been {\textquotedblleft}optimized{\textquotedblright} through evolution. Surprisingly, it is only recently that chemists have systematically attempted to develop anion-responsive synthetic macromolecules for potential applications in medicine, national security, or environmental monitoring. Recent results indicating that unique features of polymeric systems such as signal amplification, multivalency, and cooperative behavior may be exploited productively in the context of anion recognition and sensing are documented. The wide variety of interactions{\textemdash}including Lewis acid/base, ion-pairing, and hydrogen bonding{\textemdash}that have been employed for this purpose is reflected in the structural diversity of anion-responsive macromolecules identified to date.</p>},
