Abstract: Urea can be used as an important and effective unit to build up anion receptors because it’s ability of binding anions by donating two parallel H-bonds. It is convenient to detect interactions of receptors and anions for urea-functionalized anion receptors. This review highlights the developments about anion binding, recognition and separation of mono-, di-, poly-ureas and metal-assisted ureas receptors in recent years.

Key words: Anion receptors, Urea, Binding, Recognition, Separation
