A series of new P-bridgehead tripodal urea-based anion receptors 1-3 bearing phosphine oxide (PO) were synthesized and characterized. Their anion-binding ability was examined by UV-vis, 1H NMR, 31P NMR, and ESI-MS. The results revealed that receptors 1-3 showed good sensitivity, selectivity, and binding affinity for H2PO4?/sup> over NO3?/sup> and Br?/sup>, and among them receptor 2 showed the best binding affinity for H2PO4?/sup> over F?/sup>, Br?/sup>, CH3COO?/sup>, HSO4?/sup>, and NO3?/sup>. The Job plot experiments indicated that receptors 1-3 formed 1:1 stoichiometric complex with H2PO4?/sup>.
