We report the design and synthesis of a novel class of asymmetrically functionalized, ditopic bis-dipicolylamine (BDPA) ligands. A key feature of this research involved the controlled, sequential functional group decoration of a potent molecular recognition scaffold. Calorimetric screening identified a BDPA analogue as a highly potent (Ka∼ 106 M−1) and selective sensor for inorganic phosphate.
