Precision Switching in a Discrete Supramolecular Assembly: Alkali Metal Ion‐Carboxylate Selectivities and the Cationic Hofmeister Effect

A cavitand host has been shown to switch from a dimeric assembly to a tetrameric assembly in the presence of cations. Induced by pseudo‐specific cation binding attenuating the net negative charge of each host, switching was shown to be highly cation selective. Thus, the concentration of cation requi...
