Abstract

In the original language

Dicyanoaurate(I) anion, [Au(CN)(2)](-), plays a central role in the current industrial production of gold, as its extraction from crude ore samples represents the most money-consuming step. Herein, we present the strongest host-guest recognition of dicyanoaurate anion using the bambusuril receptor in water, a highly competitive solvent. The micromolar stability of such a complex facilitated the up to date most efficient supramolecular stripping of dicyanoaurate from activated carbon at ambient temperature. Thermodynamic characteristics of bambusuril binding with [Au(CN)(2)](-) differing from binding of other inorganic chaotropic anions are rationalized, as well as the bambusuril selectivity for [Au(CN)(2)](-) over [Ag(CN)(2)](-).
